Surgeon confirmed a sinus perforation today, we’re gonna give it a couple weeks to see if it heals on its own. Apparently I had one on both sides (would’ve been nice to know before) but the right one healed before I even noticed it. Probably caused that sinus leakage issue though. So hopefully this one will heal too.

My husband was telling his boss about it and how freaked out I was, and he sent him home early to take care of me 🥹

can i make it any more obvious?

[tobesaurus]

Well idk if I have dry sockets, but I definitely have a hole between my surgical site and my sinuses on the upper left. Because when I take a deep breath through my nose, with my mouth closed, I can feel air go through my gums on the upper left 🫠

But I don’t think it’s related to the yellow leakage yesterday, because that was only coming out of my right nostril, my left was normal. But idk 🤷‍♀️ I also had my stitches fall out of my upper right site today.

Still can’t open my mouth much, because it causes burning pain on my lower left jaw. Plus the corner of my mouth on that side is still cracked af so opening my mouth too much makes it crack worse. So idk how they’re gonna check inside my mouth tomorrow when I call my surgeon 😅 I may need muscle relaxers or something.

Also my swelling has gone down significantly, just some on the lower left jaw still. Both sides are bruised as hell though.

"but the text never explicitly stated it!!!" hey, so that's actually what they tried to teach you in those english classes you barely passed 😁

chuck tingle accidentally used an AI image on his latest cover and not only did he fix the mistake but he made me think the phrase “the skeleton has been replaced out of an abundance of caution,” for which i am eternally grateful

There is something sooo deeply American going on with Seattle Children’s Hospital that I think would brick the minds of everyone outside of the United States.

[skygenders]

The CHILDRENS hospital has to restrict helipad landings because of noise complaints from the wealthy home owners living next to it. Only the most urgent patients can land directly at the hospital. While the other kids have to land a mile away and are taken to the hospital via ambulance. Which is an unnecessary risk to the child’s life and also makes the families pay for the helicopter AND ambulance.

Seattle Children’s says Laurelhurst noise concerns burdens lifesaving care for children

The hospital says some limits on helipad access add pressure when children need lifesaving care.

Apparently this has been going on for decades and is only getting traction because a pilot complained on Twitter.

I might be getting an infection because today I’ve had yellow watery leakage coming out of my right nostril 😩

[tobesaurus]

Got all my wisdom teeth and a molar extracted on Tuesday, plus a bone graft. And it’s true what they say; the 3rd day is the fucking worst 😭

The swelling was insane this morning, but some heat packs have helped bring it down—although the left side is still pretty bad, but the right side is much better. I’ve been alternating oxycodone and ibuprofen as often as I safely can, and it’s barely taking the edge off 😩 I’m in agony. And I can barely open my mouth. Sigh. At least I know it’s from the swelling and muscle pain, and not because my jaw locked up. I was so scared that was gonna happen but thankfully it didn’t 🙌

I’ve checked my mouth as much as I can and I’m pretty sure I don’t have any dry sockets. So hopefully this is the worst of it and it’ll start getting better tomorrow 🤞my husband had his taken out last year and he was eating regular food by now. Idk how he heals so fast but I’m envious lol

forever grateful i was simply too lazy to let the makeup industrial complex get its hooks in me. I was just like im not doing all of that. in fact. im doing none of that

yeah I have political reasons for it now but my original and still most powerful reason is "I am not getting out of this bed one single second before I have to"

I’m getting so frustrated with my husband’s parents 😑

They’ve been told multiple times to stop sending their mail here (they’ve never lived at this address). But their mail keeps coming. So I went to the post office to ask what I could do about it, and the guy there said they couldn’t do anything in their system because they have no record of them at the address, and they’ve never filed a change of address, or anything. So he told me to put a note in my mailbox or talk to my mail carrier (was gonna do that, but they don’t come at the same time every day, and it’s not always the same person) so I left a note in my mailbox. The mail carrier doesn’t care I guess because they’re still delivering his parents’ mail here. Ive been writing “not at this address” on their mail and putting it back, but now when I leave the flag up, his parents go into my mailbox to get it. Found this out the other day, because I put the flag up but I knew they’d be going by the house, so I actually took their mail out and left the flag up 👀 sure enough, they went into my mailbox and they even put the flag down after (I was pretty sure they had done this once before but gaslit myself into thinking I mixed up the timeline and the mail had just been picked up by USPS…now I’ve confirmed they have been doing that). But that means they saw the note so maybe they’ll assume it’s not coming here anymore and stop sending it?? 🤞

I even called the post office to ask about it again, and the lady on the phone told me to call the post inspector, and they would have me file a police report. Turns out what they’re doing is mail fraud, and it’s a felony! Pretty sure going into someone else’s mailbox is as well. So I guess if they still don’t stop, I can inform them they’re committing felonies and maybe then they’ll stop 😩 I don’t want to actually file a report but it’s pissing me off.

If they weren’t pieces of shit I probably wouldn’t mind so much. But you can only use someone so much before they stop wanting to do anything for you. 😒

Also when I told them to stop sending mail here the first time, they left and immediately called my husband…who didn’t answer their call lol. When they checked our mailbox this last time and saw my note to the mail carrier, once again they left and immediately called my husband. But he pulled in like two minutes after they left, so he walked in after answering the phone. And when they heard me ask who he was talking to, his mom said “okay I’m gonna go” and they hung up. And idk why they think he’s gonna tell them anything different…last time they *informed him* they were having mail sent here, he told them it would be sent back 🤷‍♀️

On top of all that. They asked him for $150 for a part for their truck yesterday. He didn’t open the text. They called and he didn’t answer, he called me and told they “have him fucked up” if they think he’s gonna answer that call lol. They texted him a little while later and said they got paid and didn’t need the money anymore. And what’s annoying about that, is if he had given them the money when they first asked, they never would have paid him back even though they got paid shortly after. Evidenced by the thousands of dollars they owe us 🙃

aaand we’re still housing, feeding, raising their kid for free…it’s been officially 7 months now. I’m not sure how much longer I can let that go on.
