The kidney surgery was 2015. That was a doozy.
Sigh. No need to comment or like. I dunno. I'm overwhelmed by everything and everyone. I just need to get shit out of my head & husband has enough to worry about besides me & my bullshit.
Sigh. Crawling back into bed. Even if it is 90° in my bedroom this evening. (I love it. Winter sucks. Lol.)
I love you, #Mastodon. Go do fun stuff & tell me about it.
I had a hysterectomy in 2011. I wasn't even 40. She was awesome. She also saved my kidney. Endometriosis had blocked a ureter. The urologist I was seeing at the time said I was fine. I sent the scans to my OB because of the endometriosis & she called me from her cell phone telling me that I had an enlarged kidney and to get a second opinion that day with a specialist she recommended. She got me the appointment. I had robotic surgery a month later. My body is an asshole. Lol. #medical
I called my old OBGYN Monday & was told the first available appt for me was September. That's what started Monday's tears. What sucks is, I know if I talked to my Dr, she'd absolutely make room for me in her schedule. I've been a patient of hers for 18 years. She performed my hysterectomy, ffs. I've called 7 different offices looking for help this week and either it costs $695 for a 45 minute consult, not including tests or wait months to be seen.
These are my options?
WHAT THE FUCK.
Got about 24 hours of feeling like myself but now I'm slipping back into depression. Sigh. I'm ok. But fuck, this is miserable. I need to find a new OBGYN. I think tomorrow I'll call my old OBGYN and beg for an appointment. Or go to the ER. I'm in pain. My left ovary is angry and I'm afraid that it's not something I should ignore. I get this pain monthly but it's the intensity of the pain this time. It's better than yesterday so that's why I didn't go to the ER today.
Dogs sometime don't like me. I think they sense the POTS/high heart rate and it makes them wary of me. This girl though- all love. I needed that. #dogsofmastodon
Highlight of my day on Monday was dropping Husband off at the mechanic's only to be met by the sweetest elderly female pitbull. She walked up to him as he got out, then she walked over to my side. I opened my car door to greet her. I'm sure at one point in her life she was a fierce protector but that day she plopped on her back, gave me her belly to rub, smiling when I complied. What an honor to be trusted instantly. #dogs

Amy Meyers 🏴🇨🇦🇺🇸🐸I had 4 granny squares leftover from a prior charity #crochet project. My #autistic teen really liked the feel of them but couldn’t decide what she wanted them to be. Yesterday yielded the answer: an emotional support chicken.
Alrighty then. How to stuff something with holes that won’t create a sensory issue? How to stuff something without batting? Answer: an old shawl, a tank top, and two socks.
Not proud of the embroidery or wings, but my daughter loves it. Mission accomplished. ❤️🐓
I think I concerned my therapist during yesterday's session. She texted me this morning to make sure I was ok and to ask if I needed anything from her. (I am ok, I promise. Just going through it.) #MentalHealth
