4/4: The entire process has been incredible in so many ways & Dr. Janis @osuwexmed.bsky.social has been & is nothing but AMAZING. I promise more updates soon but now I need to get off my phone & try to sleep. Thanks for your support #NeckPain, #Headache, #OccipitalNeuralgia & #Migraine #NerveSurgery

3/?: …(from the surgeries’ date).ā€ I have my first scheduled follow up appointment on Monday. He will then determine if I can get the drain removed from my head or if we’ll be in Ohio at least one more week before he’ll know if it can come out at that time…

2/?: …I’m just exhausted. I do have quite a bit of pain & a lot of numbness combined but I’m feeling hopeful…Dr. Janis has been very open/blunt in letting me know every time we’ve seen each other that the typical ā€œrecovery is six weeks but we won’t know the results until (at least) three months…

I just sent a portal msg to xcl the appt. I’m still awake, my pain is bad (everywhere) + other accompanying conditions flaring, too. Especially my gut which is cramping & feels like it is eating itself (no one ever understands what I mean by that but I don’t know how else to explain it). #LifeInPain

Showering now won’t work because of my hyperhidrosis…I’d want another shower in the morning. As is, I already NEED A SHOWER before the appointment bc I’ve been in too much pain to have anything close to ā€œgood hygieneā€ lately. IYKYK - if not, don’t worry about it. šŸ˜‰ šŸ˜‚ Goodnight, #BlueskyFriends. 🄱

Actually, now that I reread my post…just one ā€œonā€ would’ve been sufficient. šŸ˜‚ My darn chronic pain was flaring so much recently that I couldn’t even seem to properly edit my own post. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

Covid infects incredibly quickly. For many of us, breaking the seal is something we absolutely can not and will not risk. Please fight mask bans. Mask up in solidarity. Help us normalize masking as a public health tool and true community care. Help us save lives.

Also note they demanded she remove it and when she refused, they arrested her. This has been our concern over mask bans for years. If you're stopped by a cop and forced to try and 'justify' your reasons for masking, they will likely demand you take your mask off for the 'conversation'.
