Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As Captain Raymond Holt said, "Every time someone steps up and says who they are, the world becomes a better, more interesting place."

Aw, I love that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's so great how people have more opportunity to identify themselves in ways meaningful to them.

Right? It makes me so happy to see it happening. Pink sparkly hearts to alla y'all figuring this stuff out

Yes indeed!

I was terrified of general anesthesia until I had it and now I LOVE it.

They gave me IV Benadryl after a procedure once and I still think about it wistfully.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Man, IV morphine was so fucking good.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I remember when I went to the ER with BAD abdominal pain (turned out to be appendicitis) and they gave me morphine. I felt it go through my veins and kind of went "ooooh" which had the nurse (or whoever) kind of grin at me.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Good to see you, tommyrot.

Our wings are not tired

IV Benadryl

I have, not a truly allergic, but rather atypical reaction to Benadryl. I got to discover for certain about this when they gave it to me in IV form to try to get me to sleep when I was hospitalized for pancreatitis. Amp up, bugs under my skin, heart racing. Really not a fun reaction to that stuff.

I’m sorry March was so awful, tommyrot, but it’s good to see your pixels nonetheless.

Hi, Gud!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

No fun, Drew. At least now you know and can warn people.

I don't know what they gave me for my last procedure, but it was, we're talking...and we're waking up. No side effects, no reaction other than, you know, unconciousness. I'd like that again if I ever have to be anesthetized, please.

Hi, Tommyrot. Good to see you! And congrats on figuring stuff out.

What I've learned about myself the past ten years, both about being neuroatypical, and being biromantic demi(in a single case)-ace, have resolved a lifetime's load of feeling broken and wrong. It's like...full breathing capacity, after years of being cramped and trying to mimic other people's behavior well enough to not get stoned out of the village.

That was what propofol was like for me.
