The Medical Thread: We're experts on everything else; why not?

Got my breast augmentation. Learning I don't really need the Norco anymore, but consider it best if I kept taking the Keflex until the bottle was empty.

Also, ever since I took the piercing out above my right eye, the red bump is cleaning itself up. One thing my makeup lady told me was not everything needs to be done in symmetry.

How's it feel?

A friend transitioned and said her augmentation was more painful than she had thought it would be, but still not terrible.


How do you feel?

Fark cancer. That is all.

I feel it gave me a much needed shot of confidence. And I feel like I can stand up and tell all the dumb crap in my life "I don't know how to fix you, so I'm going to bend you into workable shapes."

I’m sorry :-(

You have my sympathy. Fark cancer indeed.

Dr. Mrs. just made coffee. With the coffee cup sitting happily right next to the coffee maker. Something like this happens about once a month. Only a matter of time until it's something not funny. And there's nothing we can do about it.

F-ck MS.

Awesome! I will happily cheer on anyone who takes active steps to improve their lives.

Be proud and happy.

I don't know what this is about either (and acknowledge it's none of my business), but F MS as well.

I made it people's business by venting about it because it sucks so bad and I need company to at least share it.

In extreme case MS turns your short term memory to porridge. You don't know what you were doing 10 seconds ago and don't know you don't know. Dr. Mrs. has this. It is horrible to watch a young PhD go through short bursts in which she essentially has Alzheimers. And then realize it a few minutes later. It's like she's being buried alive, cognitively.

Her meds are supposed to arrest it (it's lesions on the brain so they're irreparable but hopefully it won't get worse). We are incredibly lucky -- her daily pills, which didn't exist ten years ago, cost $300 each on the free market but through a combination of circumstances we get them for a tenth of that. And her doctor is (by pure chance) one of the leading researchers on her specific type of MS (and they bonded so she gets incredibly good care to the point of her doctor threatening hospitals and insurance companies). We are lucky. But it f-cking sucks. Hasa diga eebowai.

Oh - man. That sounds absolutely awful.

You look great, Miss T! :-)

Hey. It aint cancer.
