Day four post-op update: … Bottom line, to date, no real complaints. I’m/we’re pleased with my progress, thus far. We’ll know more tomorrow at the follow up dr/surgeon appointment.

June 29th is Chronic Migraine Awareness Day. #June29thIsChronicMigraineAwarenessDay

Day 3 post-op update: Recovery’s going well. #HeadPain is different, when present. It’s similar to the same in a couple spots but, mostly, my head is not my current primary/worst source/area of pain. It is far too premature to say the #migraine & #headache surgeries worked but I’m progressing nicely

Day two post-op update: (I apologize if this contains some repeated, previously shared content.) (I’m using screenshots of the original update on GoFundMe bc it’s easier for me than copy/pasting over multiple pages on Bluesky right now.) Thanks for your support!!!

I love the comments/messages/posts/questions I’m rcvg fr ppl & I now know not everyone understands that even if the surgeries were 100% successful, they will not eliminate non-targeted chronic pain (IOW, if it isn’t related to my bilateral six occipital nerves or my right temple, it won’t be fixed).

1/_: I’m alive & just got back to the temp apartment 😊 - after an unplanned nights stay in the hospital. It’s hard to believe the migraine & headache nerve surgeries are typically outpatient! 😂 Other than during the surgeries, I’ve had ~4-5 hours of sleep, total, in three days. I’m not complaining…

Today’s the day I dreamt of 10+ years. Today’s the day I worked for over a year since I found Dr. Janis.

#TermLimits #MaximumAgeOfService #MandatoryRetirementAge are all three concepts I believe we should have in place for all elected & appointed state and federal government positions.

I’ve been in a major “multi-flare” for over a month. I have an early morning pain clinic appointment that I really NEED TO SHOWER before & I’m still awake. I haven’t had much luck falling asleep before 3-5am for weeks…I cannot miss my appointment. #LifeInPain #ChronicPain #ChronicFatigue #Exhausted

This is why disabled people have been begging you to mask up for years. This is why we’ve said that mask bans pose a threat to our survival. This is why we don’t want folks to say ICE agents are “wearing masks”. Society is being conditioned to see masking as “bad”. It will kill us.
