"Don't drink that! It could be poisoned!" - Karina

worried & scared.

The cup had been fixed by themselves just moments before, careful as always not to let anyone touch their food or drink, and yet, ever-paranoid as they already are, Iago freezes just before they can take the morning's first sip of coffee. They stare blankly at Karina, then let their gaze fall into the dark, steaming mug. The sorcerer lets out a long, rather dramatic sigh as they turn it over and let the whole thing soak into the dirt in a steady stream.

"I'll have to start all over now..."

Being a pectus excavatum patient means being a little afraid that if somebody punched you straight in the chest you would just die

I learned to have good posture because of my pectus. I feel like I could literally die from not having good posture

👉 WHAT IS PECTUS EXCAVATUM? It is when the sternum is sunken in the chest. Sometimes, the lower ribs might flare out too. Severe cases can eventually cause problems with the function of the heart and lungs. It mainly worsens after the puberty growth spurt, when the posture of adolescences gets worse. ❓HOW OFTEN DOES IT OCCUR? According to research, it is projected to occur in one of every 300-400 births. It is more frequent in males than in females. The ratio is about 3:1. Sunken chest is the most common type of congenital chest wall deformity (90% of all chest deformities are diagnosed as pectus excavatum). ❓IS PECTUS EXCAVATUM A DISEASE? No, it is not a disease. You can't get "infected" with pectus excavatum by being coughed on, sneezed on, touched, or kissed by someone who has it. It is a genetic structural deformity of the anterior thoracic chest wall. Every single scientific article about pectus excavatum classifies it as deformity. ❓HOW/WHEN DID YOU KNOW YOU HAD PECTUS EXCAVATUM?

“He who overcomes, will be dressed in white, and I will not take his name from the book of life, and I will give witness to his name before my father and before his angels” is from Revelations 3:5 and is quoted on the back of an Evangelion VHS tape, hence the necessity of having my nails painted white on the day of the bar removal.

When Dr. Chen came to visit me afterward, I asked with hesitation, “When people get their bar removed, do they usually still feel it?” I don’t remember his response; I remember the nurse who was with us immediately spring into action to close the curtains around us as soon as I started crying.
