Kathy I'm saddened to read this.  At least you were still in the hospital when this happened rather than at home.   How is your wife doing?  I hope she's okay and not too stressed.

 

Hugs, Jani

My wife is stressed, of course, but coping.  Our lovely neighbours are helping her with stuff like starting the generator and so on.  We are both hanging in.  She, at least, has kitties.

Sending positive thoughts directly northeast from New England to Nova Scotia.  May your breathing be restored to normal, soon!

 

Speaking of kitties, if you haven't yet heard of the great kitty/Vitamix standoff taking place in Victoria, B.C., this will bring a smile for sure:

That is an up side isn't it.

I hope you continue to improve, and are released soon.

The lung isn’t healing or reinflating, so they are sending me to the city for surgery.  Lovely!

Hugs, @KathyLauren, and may your surgery bring the healing and restoration needed.

Update: no surgery, no trip to the city.  I still need it, but they can’t find a vehicle to transport me.  A collapsed lung is too low on the triage scale to warrant an ambulance, so I have to wait here until no one else wants one.

 

Man, this sucks.

I am considerably less grumpy today.  My ride arrived, and I am now in the big city hospital.  I have been seen by all the nurses, and the resident doctor.  I’ll know more about the surgery soon.

Your ride?   How did they transport you to the other hospital?  

I am hoping for great results so you can get back on your feet and home.

They took me by ambulance.  I had to wait because there is a chronic shortage of ambulances, because the ERs are backed up, etc., etc..  Anyway, I am here now.

      Yeah, we still need that.  My daughter kinda "lives" with me, but I seldom see her.  She's been at her boyfriend's for the last couple of days.  I think his place is warmer LOL.

      @Ivy one of the reasons I went back to work was I needed the social interaction.   it was 26° this morning lots of frost on my car at 4am when I went to work.

      Yes, I agree that it can be very annoying, not to mention hurtful if it's done with malice.  A real friend or a nice coworker would not keep doing that.   Carolyn Marie

      Welcome, Oli!   This is a great place to explore your identity and bounce ideas off others on similar journeys.  Thank you for introducing yourself.   Kathy

      I’m Oli (they/she/he). I’m from British Columbia, Canada. I started exploring my gender during college. I was pretty lucky to have a safe space try out different pronouns, and to explore binding and seeing how I felt in different gender presentations. It was an amazing experience until my parents found out. Their negative response was pretty difficult for me at the time. Now as a couple years have passed, I have settled into the term Genderfluid to describe myself. I’d say that I range from feeling more like a butch woman, to a Demi-boy to someone with no gender at any given time. Occasionally I even feel like a femme princess for like 10 minutes and then it passes haha.  I tend to fixate on hair and clothes sometimes, as if finding the perfect presentation will fix everything, but I don’t think the perfect presentation for me even exists. And it’s exhausting and just unrealistic to have to focus so much energy into correctly deciphering what my gender is every day, dress accordingly and then know that it might change throughout the day. So I mostly try to just work on feeling confident that I can be any gender no matter the clothes I’m wearing or my haircut.  Anyways, I feel most myself when I’m gardening or volunteering on a farm, dancing or sipping some cream of earl grey tea. I’m lucky to be out at work, in a very inclusive environment and most of my coworkers use my pronouns. My partner is also extremely supportive and I am so grateful for that.  I’ll end this here, sending solidarity to you all.

      Awe, bless, I like to go walking in the countryside to uplift my spirits,  it is a sad fact that the news is always themed around negative confutations.My partner passed away four years ago (Dennis) and since his passing friends of ours have always said and kept in touch, each Wednesday I get picked up and taken out for a meal this Wednesday just gone we went to our favourite haunt, the red fox   I think having great neighbours helps too kat

      Hi TiffanyB,           so pleased that you are happy starting your journey!! gosh on hormones sooo quickly, I hope you continue to get the support that you need along your journey best wishes kat
    • kat2
      yet ironically for me synthetic hormones produced the best outcome, i am very cautious under the current climate (and movement against the existence of transgender) We seem to have moved from the reason why we are taking hormone therapy and now as i call it in the UK we play the numbers game we seem to have become trapped in a range game (female range) rather than our real reason is to align our bodies not to match a female hormonal range .

      Finally got my butt out of the house again.  I'd been hiding at home for at least a week - other than the grocery store and getting propane for the heaters. I've just been really depressed to be honest.  I should stop looking at the news. I made myself go to the coffee shop to hang out around people for a bit.
    • Ivy
      Yeah, I'm for the right one myself.  Looks a bit more natural to me - just my opinion of course.

      Mom finding more older pictures of me from the past. One was me dressed as tv show character Peg Bundy, this was in 1999 and I got a lot of attention from it.I remembered it too was out with friends going to a halloween  party.

      I shall absolutely flip there is nothing more annoying in my book than someone calling you the wrong gender or using the wrong pronouns specially when said person knows what the correct ones are and has done for six years
