I am so glad that I work from home and scheduled this IUD misadventure on my typically slow day. I finished my work, ate a lot of chocolate and then lunch (in that order), took a stronger painkiller, and now I'm snuggled up in my nice warm bed waiting for the nap train to arrive.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You deserve an excellent nap.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh Steph, I am glad you get a nap at least

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I highly recommend getting the SO snipped, if it's an option. Though my IUD insertion wasn't painful, having been recently pregnant when I had it done, not being on hormones for the first time in 20 years is pretty great.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
smonster, I love the dumpster fire ornament, and being as there's no tree I've hung it on the basket collection. I'm so sorry your roommate continues to be a big bitter pill. You might as well stop trying to be extra nice and accommodating to him since he's deeply offended and unresponsive no matter what you do.
Steph, I'm sorry you had such a hard time! When I had mine inserted, it was no big deal, but removing it hurt like crazy. Even so, when it was over it didn't hurt at all anymore, so you must have been hurting way more than I did! Glad you had chocolate and a nap. If I weren't probably going into menopause, I'd definitely get another one before the Orange Nazi takes over.
Thinx seem awesome but I got the biggest size they had and could barely get them up to my hips. I'm a size 22, for reference.

Ann, that's a ferret.
We have a new official diagnosis for Arthur: cancer. Lymphoma, to be more precise. It's a known, but not particularly common, consequence of a kidney transplant. At best, we're looking at 6 months to 2 years even with aggressive chemotherapy. (And yes, we're going with aggressive chemotherapy.)
Fuck cancer.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh Fred, I am sorry. May Arthur respond better than anticipated to treatment.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Fred, Arthur is a one lucky kitty to have you in his fighting corner with him.
Fuck cancer.

I'm so sorry, Fred.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
To my credit, I've never actually thrown up on a medical person ....
Oooh! I have! I have! Right on a cute little resident who thought the to-the-bone wound on my wrist after I put it through a window was "so cool" he forced me to look at it. I looked, it was pretty cool, and then YAK! All over his shiny new white coat. Told you I would throw up if I looked at it.
Fuck cancer.
Tep, I am so sorry you're having a hard time today. :( Boo.
