Healing…

…isn’t very easy…

…but it can be rewarding…

Or so I hope… 🤞🏻 My first hip surgery (this year) was on June 13th. When this post goes live, is August 13th. It’s been two months, and I’m still struggling… 😔

Granted, I’m struggling less than I did several weeks ago. But I’m still not fully healed. I’m still in physical pain due to the dislocation and second surgery. And I’m in psychological pain, due to the loss of Arwen. In two days, it’s has been 6 weeks since her passing. And there’s not been a single day in which I haven’t shed tears over missing her… 😢

A nice gesture/detail today in a conversation with a medical office, and one that should be more common:

[phone rings]
Me: [waking up from a nap] Hello?
Them: Hi, this is [person] from [provider for Big Upcoming Procedure]’s office.
Me: [much more attentive] Ah, OK, hi.
Them: [beat] First off, nothing’s wrong. Helps to say that up front.
Me: Oh, good.
[conversation continues, turning out to be about scheduling]

Such a quick thing, and such a relief.

"Potter said she believes UnitedHealthcare is retaliating against her because of her social media posts, putting her at risk of bankruptcy.

The health insurance company, she said, has not allowed her clinic — the RedBud Surgery Center in Austin, Texas — to join their in-network list of providers."

For those who have had major #surgery in San Francisco (like bottom surgery), where did you do your recovery at? I am struggling hard to find a place that meets the criteria:

* No stairs, either elevator or ground-level entry.
* Preferably a walk-in shower.
* Kitchen and enough space for 3-4 people (I'll potentially have my kid and 1-2 caretakers at various times)
* Can book for 6+ weeks.
* Within 30ish minutes of the city.

RT's appreciated, as are SPECIFIC recommendations. I know to look at AirBnB's and extended stay hotels. I've been doing that. I'm looking for advice/recommendations for SPECIFIC places.

Georgie Wileman: Self, 2014–2022, from the series This Is Endometriosis, 2023

This self-portrait by UK-based photographer Wileman documents the dates of her scars from #endometriosis surgeries. The condition affects one in 10 women and those assigned female at birth and, says Wileman, ‘is dangerously underfunded, under-researched and misunderstood, leaving so many isolated in their agony and fighting to be heard’
