1/4 I'm not what you might call in prime condition, apart from being 66 years old and feeling every day of it I also have health issues.
I am a Heart Attack and Triple Bypass Surgery survivor back in 2018, left with a heart condition for which I continue to take various medications.

Holy cow!

#WesternWashington is waking up to #smoke levels from #EasternWashington & #BritishColombia #wildfires that have pretty much *doubled* since yesterday.

Stay inside when possible.

Use #AirCleaners if you have them. Make a #CorsiRosenthal if you don't

Those #N95s do double duty these days. #MaskUp to keep the smoke particles out as well as #Covid (#CovidIsNotOver)

Check in on older folks & those with #HealthIssues #LungIssues #HeartIssues #LongCovid

Stay safe!

Xyla Foxlin talks about the effects on her of the hormones in her IUD, and how it messed up her mental health, and left her suicidal, until her body settled into the rush of hormones.

An eye opener for those who don't know.

I wish people understood that it's a terrible idea to assume how someone is recovering from a serious injury or health issue.

I'm so exhausted by people assuming that I'm fully healed from shattering my bones just because I'm walking unaided (except for all the metal in/on my bones ofc). It makes it super awkward because I've found out terrible news about my bone health, my fibula is not healing, and my ankle bones are literally growing together (partially due to bone spurs and rapidly disappearing cartilage). When someone is like, "Oh you're all better, it went by faster than you thought, didn't it?" when they see me for the first time in months it makes me so sad and I have no idea how to respond to an assumption like that when I don't want to tell them my business. Because I will very likely never get "better" at this rate but almost everyone in my life is treating me like I should be fine right now.
