#surgery in general will be a pain

[nonmahogany]

surgery sucks as someone w chronic pain

not because it’s more painful or whatever

but bc everyone helps you more with everything and i don’t have to do much and i get to let my body rest and in a perfect world i could be doing this to a certain degree all the time

Is my discomfort with my boobs gender dysphoria, body dysmorphia, or just a general discomfort with the sensations of having a human body that comes with possible neurodivergency

[hikeyzz]

a distant friend from college asked about the recovery for getting your tonsils taken out. how do i say "it was the worst scariest most horrible recovery period ever" without totally freaking them out??? bc like they'll probably have a normal experience. i literally had the worst case scenario happen but it's extremely unlikely to happen for them. like the odds are literally less than 5%. but also how do i give advice for the average recovery when mine wasn't??? do i even tell them how bad mine was just to prepare them?? idk man

Part of making a vegan world is making a world with enough social systems in place to support all humans. It’s just not going to happen without it and a world that doesn’t support its human community, especially its disabled communities, isn’t a just one either.

There are people with food intolerances who would like to have a plant based diet but would need an elaborate food preparation routine in order to do that safely. I know people who are spending that time and money everyday which is extremely impressive but it really shouldn’t be necessary. Ideally there should be government funding towards restaurants, programs or government paid at home chef’s to cater to these needs.

Same with pollution, it would be nice to reduce the amount of plastic people use but the person who has chronic fatigue or chronic pain might need to be able to buy a pack of microwaveable food and have dinner done in two minutes rather then twenty. Or have a chef on call to prepare them what they would want at no cost. Or maybe they could prepare it themselves if insurance had bought them the wheelchair and treatment they needed, giving them more low pain days.

I’m just saying people are all different so we’re going to need a lot of different ways to achieve that goal. Veganism that includes ableism is less than worthless and it’s not going to be effective. What’s practical and possible for one person isn’t for another person and we have to put time and resources into giving everyone as many options as possible.

i feel a wisdom tooth coming in. i am terrified. i am genuinely so scared of getting them removed😭 and i’ve been procrastinating bc it scares me so much😭

[humblefryingpan]

I've cried 4 times today over the same thing and like every single time I am alone in a room I start sobbing

I'm tired so I put my phone down but istg the second I put it down I started thinking ab it and nearly started crying again and had to get it back on

[lesbianlaura]

oh wow the endometriosis post-op pain is. especially bad today

[thethingything]

also shoutout to the hospital for sending us a bunch of PDFs with information about preparing for surgery and what to expect, except the information was all generic stuff where most of it does't actually apply to wisdom tooth removal, so I had a huge panic attack where I nearly threw up because a bunch of the stuff mentioned in there is extremely triggering for us, only to then find out that stuff literally doesn't apply anyway, but now I feel like I have even less of an idea of what to actually expect because it's so hard to figure out which information does apply

I was trying to avoid taking Tylenol but I might have to… abdominal pain is getting real bad here

[electricpurrs]

spark got neutered today and we brought her home but now her anesthesia is wearing off and she keeps trying to walk around and meowing even though she can barely stand and i just dont really know what to do... she refuses to stay still but i cant convince her to eat or drink either. shes like such a poor little pathetic wobbly thing right now

Hey Guys im in the hospital here with my Dad he just got major surgery on his spine through his stomach and back and he’s having a really hard time. I just wanted to ask for Prayers and or encouragement during this difficult time no matter what your religion or none. It looks like we’re going to stay another few nights 🥺😔

[wildfangz]

I also want to post more but I'm still recovering from surgery and unfortunately neurodivergence requires I must microdose on my simming especially at this time otherwise its too dangerous. Might have pulled an all nighter + all dayer a few days ago jumping back and forth between tweaking sims and nsb writing and some builds and ohhh my body did not like that .

[misty-wisp]

i can beat omocat in a game of tetris i think

[music-for-them-asses]

Also I'm very anxious about my surgery this morning because I had to fill out the pre-op medical forms last night for the hospital. But my sister has a friend who just had the same procedure done, so I'm gonna message her to ask about it. It's a relatively simple procedure with fast recovery time and low risks. I'm just anxious because I've never had surgery, and I've never been under general anesthesia, just deep sedation I think 😖

Kill the idea that suffering is somehow authentic and worthy, and take the fucking drugs. I lost years of my life to this kind of thinking and I have nothing to show for it other than a handful of embarrassing memories and a house full of clutter I don’t want or need. There’s at least five regularly used different classes of antidepressants! And about four more specifically for anxiety! They’re all acting on your brain in different ways and you will have different reactions to each of them! Don’t give up and accept misery because you’ve mistakenly believed the misery is your real personality!

90s movies: Psychopharmacology is as good as a lobotomy. If you take pills to treat your mental illness it will literally murder your imaginary friends and you will become a boring, lotus-eating conformist drone.

Me after taking my meds: drives the scenic route home to see if there are any geese on the pond and does a little dance in line at the grocery store and comes home to throw everything​ in my fridge into a stew pot because I can finally taste food again while singing songs at my birds in which I replace all the instances of "she" with "Cheese" and doing a Dolly Parton impression on the phone to my sister

having surgery tomorrow and I'm really nervous!! (laparoscopy for endometriosis and also a bisalp!) I've had my wisdom teeth out and an endoscopy/colonoscopy before but never something with an external component and it is a bad bad time to have a mild fear of both needles and surgical procedures :'x

on one hand I'm looking forward to the recovery time-off afterwards so I have a break from work but also like...... at least for the first few days I'm going to be in a lot of pain and not be able to move and have incisions to take care of and that's scary...... like intellectually I know I'll be fine, "this too shall pass" and I'll be glad I got it done when I had the opportunity, but thinking about any of it makes me nauseous and gives me that stomach pit-drop feeling of dread ; w ;
