Health Updates: We'll take it 😅 (Patreon)

Listen...beggars can't be choosers, okay? It's not good. But it *is* better than it's been, so...we take what we can get 🙈

Good news: still no more seizures since that first one after the Botox started wearing off - 3 weeks ago! 🥳 That is a record by a LONG shot. Every other time I've been between treatments, I've continued to have at least one seizure per week until the next injections take effect. And this time, being in Vancouver, the air pressure genuinely hasn't been in the right range for it a ton, but it hasn't not been!

And while I still feel kind of pre-seizure vibes - migraine, dizziness, disorientation, small muscle spasms, etc - while the air pressure is bad...I mean, I'll still take this over being debilitated by a seizure 😅 Not that it isn't kind of debilitating anyway, but...not as bad 🙈

The migraines have definitely gotten worse again, as well, but like...not daily anymore still, so again, I'll take it!

That being said, I do not currently have a next Botox appointment, so...hopefully this keeps up for however long it takes 🫠

PLUS my ribs didn't actually pull away from my sternum again! Yet, anyway... They've certainly tried 😂 My physiotherapist said to just avoid doing things or staying too long in postures that cause it. So I told him it was happening when I was just trying to wash my hair, and he goes "well, no hair washing for you, ever, I guess 😂" So... Anyway, I'm still ✨special✨

But also stinky? Apparently 🤷‍♀️

My shoulder and the nerve issues have also gotten a lot better, but it seems like this will probably be a lifelong battle 🫠 But that's fiiiiiine. I'll just continue to carry my tea in my left hand.

Moral of the story: things are getting better. But I'm still in some form of pain pretty much constantly, and I'm exhausted as heck. Am I still struggling to come to terms with the fact that just because things have gotten better, that doesn't mean I'm not still struggling, and it doesn't mean I should magically be 100% functional and productive all the time...? Pffffttttt no, why would you even ask that? 😅🫣
