Every time I get a vaccine, they have a little bowl full of Dum-Dum lollipops for the kids and every time, I pretend to notice it for the first time and say, “Ooh, can I have a lollipop? Haha, it’s been forever since I’ve had one of these.”

Reader, it has not been forever, and I’m sure the nice doctor knows it has not been forever, but I maintain this elaborate little routine and she always kindly indulges me.

Anyway, I got the cream soda flavor.

There was no wifi in the office and we were in the basement level so data didn't get through, so that previous post didn't post until we left.

My doctor was cute (!) he said everything looked okay my blood pressure was 96/67 pulse is 95 my oxygen's at 97%.

He ordered me blood tests and they're suggesting I go down on my dosage of lasix because with the Jardiance coupled with the spirolactone I won't need to take as much lasix because that's not something I should be on long-term because it'll f****** my kidneys. And my kidneys are already kind of f***** up because I was taking way too much acetaminophen when I got out of the hospital.

Gotta take blood tests when I get back home, sign up for MyChart, and got another appt in January to follow up.

At the doctor, i let them weigh me because I've been having issues that are causing weight loss. I saw my weight yesterday, and with a frown i said i lost ten pounds since last time.

"That's great!" Said the nurse.

"No, I'm not trying to lose weight,' i said. He was very confused.

Later he was telling me how to take my blood pressure at home. One thing he said was that you want to make sure you're not in pain or it affects the reading.

"That's going to be hard for me. Because I..' i shot double finger guns, "am always in pain."

He didn't really know what to say to that.

Anyway, i was at the walk-in for four hours and they do not know why I'm constantly light headed and dizzy.

[wellthatschaotic]

we have a dr appointment tomorrow where hopefully we can get our blood test and see what makes us Big Sleepy

cw doctors offie / gynacologist mention and weed mention and food + eating mention

so i had to get a pap smear this morning and i actually really like my gynacologist so it wasn’t as bad as it couldv’e been, but i still. really hate doing those. so i decided that instead of getting anything done this afternoon i’d relax and do a weed gummy. oh god i almost typed cummy. can you tell where this post is headed yet it’s all just to tell yo u i’m. super high. hahaha. an

d i’m enjoying it ‘im all loopy and it’s fun BUT. i thought when high you get the munchies? well i heated up some leftover pizza and. eating it is really weird feeling? first of all it’s like the taste has been leeched out of it. my mouth is numb? or it’s more like in movies when they go “how many fingers am i holding up” and they show the dissy point of view and it’s like a solid figure haloed by more faded repetitions...that’s what my mouth is like -- it’s ceased to be the central mouth and is one of those haloed faded ones. flavor is barely there. and the bits that are stuck in my mouth taste rubbery gross? but also i’d be eating and it’s like the feeling of eating and swallowing wouldn’t come till a couple seconds after? the thunder after the lightning. so that feels weird.

it’s like that with

i forget where that was going. the end. by the way this post took 20 minuts to make i believe??

Leo waited impatiently at the doctor’s office, a wrapped pie cradled in his lap. It had become a tradition, making a new special pie for his doctor anytime he saw her. This time was no different, despite the very different circumstances. 

He’d made the appointment a week ago. Something in him had known since then what was happening, but he had avoided thinking about it for as long as possible. He’d made the appointment on a whim, lying sick in the bathroom, fighting down another round of nausea, knowing it couldn’t possibly be normal. And so he’d called and booked an appointment with Dr. Perkins, his doctor since he was a baby. 

He didn’t want to be there. Leg bouncing up and down, he stared out the window at the sky, turning pink and orange as the sun set. He sighed. The doctor’s office was better than being at home, he supposed. 

“Leo Knut?” a nurse called, jolting him from his thoughts, and he stood quickly, following her back. Suzie, her name tag read. 

“How are you doing, honey?” she asked absentmindedly, checking something on the clipboard in her hands.

“Fine, thanks,” Leo replied politely. 

“Can you just take those shoes off for me?” she asked as they reached the alcove. Leo did as instructed and went to stand on the scale. He fought the urge to fidget as the nurse read the number and noted the number down in his chart.  

Next, he was ushered into a nearby chair and Suzie secured a blood pressure cuff around his upper arm. She read it quickly and lessened the pressure, slipping the cuff back into the basket it was in. 

“Follow me.” She led him to a nearby room and sat at the computer, typing a few things on the screen. Leo hoisted himself onto the table. As she continued typing, Leo surveyed the walls. Each room, he’d discovered, had different patterns painted on the walls. This one had a checkered pattern, in shades of green and blue. It was a little dizzying. 

“Okay honey, and what brings you in today?” Suzie asked, glancing up at him. 

“Um, well, I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. I’d been feeling sick for a few days so uh, my friends made me. So, yeah. Now I’m here.” 

“Oh, well that’s exciting, congratulations!” Suzie said as her fingers clacked on the keys. 

“Thanks.” Leo ducked his head. 

“Alright, the doctor is gonna want to do another test, just to make sure.” Leo nodded absent-mindedly. “And if that also comes back positive, he’ll get you started on some prenatal meds and fill you in on everything you need to know, m’kay?” 

“Okay.” 

“Okay, the doctor will be with you in just a few, so sit tight.” 

Leo offered her a tight smile before she left, the door closing softly behind her. He sighed once it shut, slouching back onto the table. He did not want to be here. 

His mind wandered to the waiting room, with all the expecting mothers looking joyful and excited. He’d felt taunted sitting there earlier, by their smiles and their glow. They were all so happy, those women. They wanted their babies, probably had loving husbands at home, who would be there to support them and take care of them. They were probably loving and kind. 

A knock startled him from his thoughts. 

“Hi, Leo?” A young man said, opening the door. He had a white coat on, and held his hand under the sanitizer before taking a seat at the computer. 

“Hello,” Leo said nervously. He didn’t know this man. 

“Hi, I’m Dr. Lupin. It’s good to meet you.”

“Where’s Dr. Perkins?” 

“Oh, they didn’t tell you?” The doctor looked confused.

“No… tell me what?”

“Dr. Perkins retired. Yeah, just a few weeks ago. I’ve taken over her patients. I’m so sorry, I thought they got in touch with everyone.”

“Oh. It’s okay.” Leo studied the man in front of him, Dr. Lupin. He had sandy brown hair, stray curls falling in his eyes. He looked tall, fit. A thin scar ran from his left eyebrow to the line of his jaw. Leo didn’t want to know how he got that. 

“Alright, well, what seems to be the issue, what’s brought you in today?”

“I’m pregnant,” Leo blurted out, hastily looking away from the scar. 

“Oh?” He looked confused.

“Yeah, I’m uh, I’m trans. I don’t know if that’s marked in my chart, but… I am. Um, so. Yeah, I’m pregnant, according to the test I took this morning.”

“Oh, well congratulations!” Leo must’ve made a face because Dr. Lupin’s smile faded. “Not congratulations?” he corrected slowly. 

Leo sighed. “I don’t want this baby. It wasn’t planned. I- I don’t even know if I can support a child. But I’m keeping it. I’m keeping it and raising it to be a good person.” 

He’d decided on the busride over. He didn’t know if he could even raise a child, didn’t know how he was going to do it. But he also knew he couldn’t abort the baby. 

As a child he’d dreamed of being a parent. Even when he knew he would never be a girl, never be a mother, he knew he wanted to raise a child. He wanted to do for someone what his own mother had done for him. But somehow, somewhere along the way, he’d lost sight of that dream. Earl had ruined it maybe, or maybe life had done that. But it didn’t matter, because he was going to do it, and prove to the world it couldn’t beat him that easily. 

“Okay. Okay. Let’s get started, then.”

Dr. Lupin said a lot of things that Leo didn’t quite follow, about things to avoid and supplements to take. Leo didn’t really plan on taking any of them, didn’t have the money to afford them all. He also kept getting distracted by those slender hands brushing back stray curls. There was something oddly enticing about it. 

“Does that all make sense?” he said finally, and Leo snapped out of his daze. 

“Yeah, I think so.”

“Well, it’s all on your record, which you should have access to. And if you ever have any questions, feel free to call.” 

“Okay. Thank you.” 

Dr. Lupin nodded, and smiled.

“Wait!” Leo called out as he made to leave. “I um, I made this for you. Well, for Dr. Perkins. I always brought her a new pie when I came in for a visit. So uh, I guess it’s yours now.” Leo held out the wrapped pie, trying to hide his nerves. Carefully, Dr. Lupin took it. 

“Well that’s awfully kind of you. What flavor is it?”

“I call it Mermaid Marshmallow.”

“Well, thank you very much. I’m sure it’s delicious.” 

It was only once Dr. Lupin’s back had turned did Leo allow himself to smile.

Every time I go to the doctor, the assistant who takes my vitals pauses over my blood oxygen levels. They always switch the sensor to different fingers because my oxygen level is low, but not low enough for immediate concern--just enough to comment on it being low.

Today the assistant told Diego (who usually fronts for doctors' appointments, since she's able to engage with people and also be more or less honest about what we experience): "Oh, your oxygen level is on the low side. Are you feeling anxious?"

And without missing a beat, Diego answered cheerily "Oh yeah, I'm usually feeling anxious about something or other."

Which was simultaneously the truth and a lie--Diego herself rarely feels anxious, but she's aware enough to know that we, as a whole, are anxious almost always. But her tone of voice and demeanor implies that she's never been anxious a day in her life.

It was funny to see the look on the assistant's face though. She just blinked and laughed nervously, and then brought us the PHQ-9 and some generalized anxiety inventory to fill out.
