Today in things I've said in therapy: "I guess I'm trying to be optimistic about being optimistic. That's a very me thing to say, isn't it?" Dr. T (smiling): "Yep, here we are." (Was in response to his saying earlier in session that I'd seemed more optimistic the past few weeks, like thinking about my career and creative pursuits, like with writing.)
Also, ATAT, you got a mention in session today. |

Here's my first attempt at brioche buns. Next time I make them I'm going to get fancier and make each one from 3 separate doughballs in a cupcake pan or something haha. But they are delicious, anyway.

I tried this morning, but I was not able to find any available appointments in my county for the covid vaccine now that it opened up to 55+ today. I tried... at least I'm on a wait list.

So I'm now mostly functional, brain-wise. I swear the anesthesia hadn't fully worn off until sometime in the night Wednesday. I'm mostly human again, now. Still in enough pain that it's difficult to function, standing up hurts a great deal, etc. and my brain is still a little foggy.
I have lots of work to get done this weekend. It's going to be a challenge. I just want to sleep. I don't think I'm going back to that office except for the mandatory follow-ups for the first year. After that, my primary care doc can check my vitamin levels. Incompetent or ill-informed nutritionists, arrogant surgeon (oxymoron I know), awful communication, the works. I called the aftercare number with a question Thursday and got a ringing phone. After 15 rings, it told me the voicemail box was full. This is the number they highlighted in yellow on my discharge papers to call if I had questions. I called around a bit and finally got to a nurse, but that's just asinine. I have very sensitive skin, so I asked the surgeon to use stitches instead of Dermabond. I reminded him that morning, as I had been instructed to do. I'll give you one guess how my incisions were closed... Despite my awful GERD symptoms for more than 10 years, the surgeon also decided not to do the hernia repair. He "took a look" and thought it wasn't so bad, so he didn't do that part of the surgery. I was only informed this might be a possibility once I was scrubbed in for surgery. Gastric bypass is supposed to be a cure for GERD, but if it isn't, I'll have to find another surgeon any go through insurance again. Just a lot of not feeling respected and feeling like my wishes count for zip. Felt that way on the floor, too. Not a good Healthcare experience for me. (And usually I do okay with Western medicine.) I had a surgery in February 2019 at this same hospital and everything went much better. Ooh! I had my sister with me then, they give better care when a person is with you. Thanks for listening! __________________ "I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers which can't be questioned." --Richard Feynman |

Oh Moebius, so sorry to hear. Thats one of the reasons i wont get a colonoscopy - not while im fat. We're not people.
Are you on obesitysurgery? They seem very knowledgeable and helpful. They call nutritionists "NUTS", btw. |

No, I'm on a couple of groups on Facebook and they are sometimes helpful but anytime a person has a dilemma, they post "Drink more water!!!" Like, seriously, it doesn't matter what the problem is; within the first 30 comments someone will give this advice.

Hugs (if wanted) Mobius. Gentle to avoid the incisions. I'm sorry that they're not responsive on the phone and didn't listen to your requests. I hope your healing goes well and that the GERD is resolved.
