- Very nice.

- I’d be happy to see that happen. It’s a really good quote.
- Taxi was a darn good TV show.

- We’re the bad guys. It’s gross.
- Ok so I did get one of the scrunchy water hoses because I figured it would be super light and I could water my flowers without violating my lifting restrictions. Y’all. Why have I waited so long to make this change?!? This is incredible.

- Shhhh. Dont dash my joy. 😂
- I bought this shirt. You should buy this shirt.

- That’s appropriate.
- “30 days to your summer body”, they advertise. Yep. In 30 days, all of us in the northern hemisphere will have our summer bodies. That’s honestly one heck of a non-statement about your service.
- Other doctors tell me, "You're so good with names" (they are referring to how I often know all the patient's family members). It's not entirely accurate. I am good at PUTTING IN THE EFFORT to remembering names.

- I put it in the social history of the patient’s chart.
- The first thing I remember after surgery was someone saying “I just need to get all your lines straightened out” and I replied “so I guess I’m in the ICU”. I’m not done laughing at that just yet. But I had a lot of lines, so I respect it.

- Oh they’re so good. Light weight. You don’t have to roll it up. It just scrunches down when you turn the water off. Water hose perfection.

- We should make one and donate proceeds to something he cut.
- I want this on a t-shirt.

- Not fren. I repeat NOT fren.
- Limiting fluoride access is a great way to keep certain groups of people sick and poor
- And to make it visible who belongs in what class.
- I have been off work for almost a full week and I have done ZERO online shopping. I deserve a lil treat…

- Sounds like great fun to me.

- Yeah. He’s sure trying.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Yeah. It was planned, so I didn’t overcommit this year. No bending over for at least a few more weeks.

- I had surgery last week.

- There are a lot of useless regulations, but I have zero trust that they’re going to act on those. Absolutely none.
- When the insurance company who spent months denying your MRI while you had daily pain calls to check on you after your surgery….
- [Not loaded yet]
- It’s almost like that’s what we do. So weird.
- I suck at letting people do things for me. Absolutely suck at it.
- yoooo I’m gonna be a wifeguy (a wife who is a guy)
- Are you registered at any particular Olive Garden?

- It would appear. The sad thing is that I’m pretty sure he understands some of it but rejects its truth because it’s more profitable to live the contrarian grifter life.
- There’s always an Onion article.

- That first post op shower is life changing.

- I thought that’s what you meant.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Thanks. Today seems to be a really good day.
- I have reached the absolutely-bored-but-unable-to-do-anything phase of recovery. Pain is controlled. I have seen the internet. I’m bored with TV, but I can’t bend over, turn my head, or lift more than 5 lbs. 🙇🏻♀️
- [Not loaded yet]
- Thanks. We’re making it.

- Napping. 😂

- It is. I haven’t been able to wash my hair since Wednesday so it was caked in oil and skin prep and blood. I feel human again.
- Headed home with only a little less brain than I left with.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Yep. I had stepdown orders this morning but they didn’t have a bed so the just discharged me from the icu tonight. I just haven’t had a ton of pain
- [Not loaded yet]
- Yhat’s how you get scratched.

- I trust them not to kill me and because this was a planned hospitalization, I know what I’m here for and don’t anticipate any bills I can’t pay. That doesn’t change the fact that I absolutely can’t stand all the things attached to my body.
- Honestly, I could look worse for POD1 after literal brain surgery.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Thanks!
- You look gorgeous and certainly much better than I did POD1 after far more minor surgery last week. I hope you have a quick and easy recovery! 🩷
- Thanks. Once I convinced them I really needed some toradol, I felt pretty darn good. My nurse last night told me I seem to be having the easiest recovery she’s seen from this surgery. 🤞🏻
- Those Foley catheters are *not* fun
- Nope. Not painful but just the constant feeling of needing to pee is unpleasant.
- These people really want kids sick. Hepatitis B is not just a “sexually transmitted and IV drug user disease” like Means claims here. If she had ever completed medical training she might know that up to 40% of HepB infections are actually acquired in childhood & kill thousands of Americans per year.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Nope.
