    honestly, right now I’m so grateful not be in significant or debilitating pain - I’m pretty much able bodied, I can cook and clean and do most of my daily activities pain-free.

    I’m a month away from a major surgery that will keep me bed-ridden for many weeks and in pain for even longer. I’ve just been through many major accidents and medical procedures, some of which kept me immobile, disabled, and in significant pain for extended periods of time (some for weeks to months).

    But right now, everything is sunshine and rainbows and I’m here for it 🌈🌞✨

      I’m grateful for modern medicine.

      I had a heart attack 2 years ago at 41. I’m not obese, and I’m reasonably fit and active, I just made some poor decisions and lost the genetic lottery.

      I got a re-sleeve and aparently my ticker is tip top again. I didn’t even need “surgery”. They just ran their magical fixerupper up my vein from my wrist.

      Not very long ago I would just be fucked up for the very brief rest of my life.

      That is so awesome that it’s good right now! I have been through a major open heart surgery, so I know what it’s like to spend weeks in pain recovering and healing. It sucks! Hopefully it will be worth it though. I wish you a fast and safe healing process.
