TW for (+) #medical talk.

I’ve been through a hell of a week. I won’t share any further details atm, but I had to go get bloodwork in the community today.

The phlebotomist saw my arms and immediately realized I’d been through it. Multiple IVs and other pokes. He was so kind, gentle, and patient with me. Quickly, he did a very gentle poke… and I thanked him for using a butterfly needle. He replied, “I can see you’ve been through so much, of course!”

That kindness nearly brought me to tears.

@britt Friend, I'm so glad he was gentle with you. I'm sending you tons of love and healing intentions. 🥰

I spoke so much Spanish today at work

It was a mess (as expected)

@twenty20sight@mstdn.games avatar

@shippychaos Me, back when I was teaching kindergartners whose first language was Spanish and I could only conjugate in present tense.

I have a life announcement! 📣

I’m going back to University! ( At 37! )

The program is self paced, online and all of my accessibility accommodations have been approved!

I’m excited to be able to take asynchronous courses in a supportive environment.

Day 1 is May 1st!
I’m studying Psychology & Philosophy.

I plan to attend Graduate School afterwards and become a Registered Psychologist in Alberta so I can do Autism assessments (and more), and provide a safe place for folks. 🏳️‍🌈

@britt Holey buckets, that's AWESOME! I'm excited for you!

@twenty20sight@mstdn.games avatar

@britt I would be too. I love being a student; if I ever win the lottery, I may become a serial pursuer of degrees.

twenty20sight,
@twenty20sight@mstdn.games avatar

@britt That's a great question. When I was doing full time massage, I was curious about studying to do physical therapy. Part of me would love to go back for another music degree, maybe composition or music production. Or something completely different: creative writing, maybe? Orrrr...it's been suggested that I'd make a great counselor/therapist, too. 🤷

It would be such a fun decision to explore if I knew I could afford it in time and money. I'm glad you've got such a great opportunity!

I usually hate winter time… but…

I absolutely loved it in Edmonton this year! Having the sun out nearly every day, even with short days was wonderful.

I have always enjoyed colder weather over warmer weather and my health conditions are better outside of the heat too…

Yay home. Yay new home. 🏠💜☀️

@britt I'm going to remind you that you said this next winter when we reconvene Cold Bones Anonymous. 😉

Me, 10 years ago.

I was still living just outside of San Francisco. I was working in business… doing the Bay Area business things of 2014.

What do I notice the most? Energy. Hope. Youth. Less pain. Less mental struggle.

Do I miss it? Yes.
Would I lose the wisdom and the people I’ve gained since in a trade? Never.

Perspective is everything. 💜☀️

I hope April ushers in great things for all of you as we turn yet another chapter together on this spinning globe. 🌎

It’s me. Stuck in traffic on a highway in California. Black blazer, sunglasses, seatbelt on, and smiling.

@twenty20sight@mstdn.games avatar

@britt Look at that young pup! I have to tell you, though, I think your current hairstyle is perfect for you - it's so great!

I hope April brings wonderful things for you, as well, friend, and that this spring brings all us chronically ill folks some renewed energy and wellness. 💕

I’m going to write a book one day.

Or two, or three.

I promise you this. 💜

twenty20sight,
@twenty20sight@mstdn.games avatar

@craftykraken @britt And I am going to read your book, or two, or three, or however many.

britt, to Health
@britt@mstdn.games avatar

Knowing I’m living with a painful autoimmune disease and the only way to ‘improve’ my symptoms and slow down the progression is…. to suppress the immune system.

My mind can’t fully grasp that this is my life now.

@twenty20sight@mstdn.games avatar

@britt Wow, friend, that's lot. hugs forever

A doctor calling early for a remote appointment… and missing the call because you’re getting ready for said appointment.

No greater stress in my life.

@britt what in the hell, why would they do that??

twenty20sight,
@twenty20sight@mstdn.games avatar

@britt Oh GOOD, I'm glad you got it resolved! I'd've been worried too, but you would've had grounds to refuse to pay, tbh. It's not your fault they called at a time other than the one you had agreed on, after all.

I’m still mad they wouldn’t let me join Boy Scouts as a kid.

twenty20sight,
@twenty20sight@mstdn.games avatar

@britt I was told I couldn't join Girl Scouts because the troop was "too big" but I've always felt it was because I was such a big tomboy and maybe there was homophobia going on (even though I didn't figure out I was gay until age 19).

My socials have and will always be a complete cluster. 😆

Whatever is on my mind that day, week, month or year… may find its way onto my feed.

Thanks for being here, it’s a wild ride.

@twenty20sight@mstdn.games avatar

@britt Isn't that exactly what socials are for, sharing what's on our minds? You're doing it right!

SO many people on my list of live Twitch channels playing Palworld and I'm just...meh.

What other trends are out there in gaming this week, y'all?

twenty20sight,
@twenty20sight@mstdn.games avatar

@britt I'm getting more and more disillusioned with the direction that PUBG is going in terms of development, so I'm in the market for a main game (which honestly just makes me sad because I still love the core of the game so much).

Further adventures with car troubles:

This time it’s a flat tire.

Wait for AMA to tow us?

96 hours. FOUR DAYS.

I’m having a great time this winter. A great time.

twenty20sight,
@twenty20sight@mstdn.games avatar

@britt If I were nearby, I would absolutely come over and put on your spare for you (I used to work in the tire shop at Costco).

I hope your car troubles cease after this one, jeez!

New med turned me into liquid legs today lol 🤣🫠

At least I could just laugh and take a nap. It’ll be a few more days of ‘off’, then the next few weeks will really show what side effects I get.

Hopefully, none? 🤞🏻

(dose is weekly)

twenty20sight,
@twenty20sight@mstdn.games avatar

@britt 🤞🏻 🤞🏻 🤞🏻 🤞🏻 🤞🏻

I'm pulling for you, hoping your new med will lead to feeling good!

An update: I actually feel worse today than I have at any point so far, so I definitely will not be able to stream tonight. (I am now assuming I have the flu.) Thanks for all your support, all, and for your flexibility. Have a great night!

@twenty20sight@mstdn.games avatar

@britt Thank you friendo, I do too. I feel really cruddy.

New Life Perk Unlocked:

I now qualify to get a free pneumonia vaccine so that’s dope.

Anyone had one before?

twenty20sight,
@twenty20sight@mstdn.games avatar

@britt Yep! It's pretty straightforward. As I recall it made my arm sore like most shots do, but I don't think I had any symptoms at the time, though I expect these days I'd feel a little run down afterward.

@britt@mstdn.games avatar

Phew! My appointment went great today, an excellent specialist doctor. Wonderful consult. I’m very happy with my overall healthcare here, it’s just night and day. ❤️

New diagnosis acquired.
New medication acquired. (Am nervous)

I’ll have monthly bloodwork and regular follow ups.

I’m feeling so grateful, even despite the car stress stuff that needs to be resolved. 🤩🙌

twenty20sight,
@twenty20sight@mstdn.games avatar

@britt I'm so glad to hear you made it to your appointment and that you got some answers, friend!

Some lovely citizen unplugged our car from the outlet for our block heater and the car won’t start.

I love humanity. I love shared housing. Love it.

AMA wait is currently ….
January 18th at 1pm

LMFAO WHAT

twenty20sight,
@twenty20sight@mstdn.games avatar

@britt It's been a cozy day, yes. I barely even had to go to the garage. I'm worried that my car won't start when I need it; battery has been struggling lately. But mine isn't the only vehicle in the family so I'd be okay if push came to shove.
