- I’ve been 95% bedridden for nearly 3 weeks now because I had surgery for endometriosis (my entire uterus had lodged itself in the left side of my body) but it has turned into a shit storm of complications and has been pretty freaking scary.
- My surgeon is not entirely sure how complicated the complications are yet. :|
- I’ve had my period continuously since May 2017. lmao.
- I’ve been able to shower and I even was able to put on this lotion I get from a lovely shop on my favorite street in all of New York that’s really special to me. So now I smell clean and like roses. And that’s a really happy feeling.
- I washed and brushed my hair and it looked really pretty today even though all I did was go to various doctors and nap.
- My lease renewal came and my rent is hardly increasing which means I get to say in my gorgeous little NYC apartment for a long, long time, which is the first safe Home I’ve ever had, and the best thing that has ever happened to me.
- I’ve had a ton of friends check in on me, more than I ever expected, and my NYC family members really stepped up to support me when my own immediate family did what they do best and behaved hurtfully when I was really, really sick last week. It’s really opened my eyes to what love and family are and is helping me confront that what my mom and sister did was Not OK.
- My dad has also really stepped up and supported me. We’ve never really had a relationship before but he has really been there for me through this. I’m really grateful and I hope this is the start of something good and new for us.
- Discovering The Worst Witch, Hecate Hardbroom, Pippa Pentangle, etc. has been a life saver these past few difficult weeks. I haven’t felt this way about a show or fandom in YEARS. It feels safe and wonderful and happy, and in the people in the fandom are just lovely. My mind is spinning with gratitude.
Idk why I’m making this list, I’m just on a lot of painkillers rn and it makes me contemplative and floaty. I’m trying to see the good because there is a lot of bad. Hey, when they say stop and smell the roses I can just smell me !
