mushy minds
i don't even feel like posting much cause life seems pretty darn... simple. waking up before the crack of dawn in throbbing pain to the shower, to dilate, to have breakfast and lounge in a narcotic stupor till it's time to do it all over again. through this, think that my brain feels like it's turning to mush. i need to start doing something constructive. if only the pain would let up so i could wean myself off of the painkillers so that i could just think clearly.

a good friend came by with lunch. she brought this yummy creation that i started a few years ago - she didn't know that i invented it, it's just circulated through our circle of friends. it's basically a quinoa, beet and goat cheese concoction married with ginger and sunflower seeds. served warm it is right in every way.

through these foggy three weeks, i have had clarity about what i want to do with my life.

i will become a city planner. i will teach yoga. i will make art, knit, and play my trumpet. i will connect with friends and stop being such a loner.

the past couple of days i've pushed myself too much, having to go to doctor's appointments, and i feel the consequences.

i'm making an oath to not leave the house the next few days. visitor's welcome.

That is a beautiful plan. I can't wait to hear you play the trumpet

Aww, hang in there hon. Remember that just because your brain is mush now does not mean that it will always be; the more you fight it the harder it will be. Let what is, be, for now, and save the fight in you for afterwards, when you have the energy to use it.

The pain does go away. Soon you'll be able to control it during the day with simple OTC painkillers like Advil or Tylenol 1, leaving the heavy artillery for sleepingtime. I found that the biggest drop in the pain came when the stitches in my labia minora were removed. All those sharp little ends poking me in the tender parts were very much unfun.

Dilating will also shortly become less of a chore. Once your Pelvic muscles get over feeling like the goodtime girl the morning after the rodeo it begins to feel enjoyable to have something in there :)

Your plans sound very ambitious and affirming. One could easily find fulfillment carrying them out. In the meantime, rest and heal young lady. Take care of yourself.
*hugs*

Er on the side of caution sweety. It all gets much better. I wish I could take a trip to your town, I've never been in canadialand before.

♥ rest up so I can get to know you better

I love your plan and I would love to knit, study, do yoga and make art with you when I eventually move to TO.

And here I was feeling bad for myself because the flu has kept me in my apartment every time I don't absolutely have to leave it. Thanks for the perspective!

I second "rest up so I can get to know you better."
