How about you mind your own damn business

Warpy still hasn't chosen to move inside permanently, but I thought with the horrible heat she might want to be in the air conditioning today. So I opened the back door earlier this afternoon and she came in and she's hanging out with the spousal person in the kitchen now. :)

Had a check in appointment at the neurosurgeon's office this morning. Just went in, someone looked at the incision, said yeah it looks normal, and that was it.

The neurosurgeon's office is close to my office, so we stopped by and visited my coworkers for a few minutes. I got a few hugs. :) Then we ate at a brunch type place near the office. First time eating out since the surgery, and another step towards feeling human again.

I got fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese, bonuts (biscuit donut holes) and a cereal latte. I think that's the most I've eaten at once since before the surgery.

Both were picked for ease of eating, because my mouth still doesn't open very wide yet.

The spousal person went back to work today so I am on my own for the first time since the surgery.

Decided to take a morning walk after he left. Y'all. It's really hot out there. But I made it a little bit further than before and I went at a decent pace, so I guess that's good.

Am playing a bit of Sims right now, and then I might take a break from wearing my glasses and chill on the couch for a bit.

I ask him if it will ever get better and he says it already has over the last week, even if it's slow. Like instead of not doing anything much except texting him about being in pain hell, now I can wear my glasses some and play games and watch shows and read for a bit, and I can talk more than I could.

But this phase isn't that fun either. Less pain but more itching. The incision has healed to the point where now it's itching so much but I'm not allowed to do anything about that, uugggghhh.

He'll be off again tomorrow to take me to a followup appointment at the neurosurgeon's office.

I just find it weird the way many people in the west and in predominantly white, Christian societies seem incapable of acknowledging or reckoning with the idea that other cultures have their own bigotries that may look different than theirs in some ways or be organized differently than they are here, but are nonetheless still ethnic/religious/racial biases and prejudices because every fucking culture and society that exists has them.
