Completely pain free and not taking any more meds as of five days post-op!

Just wanted to let you know that 5 days after surgery, I’m completely pain free and not taking any more meds. Recovery has been a breeze!

That doggo’s SMILE! 😍

I took it seriously and got myself sterilized this week. It was because I read Project 2025 last summer that I made a consult appointment for the Monday after the election… just in case.

And also… sleep. I really enjoy getting 9 hours every night.

Saw this before and after with my own eyes! Must of been my message reporting it that put it over the edge 🤣

Paired literature readings for this not so dystopian time:
- “The New Utopia” by Jerome K Jerome
- “Harrison Bergeron” by Ray Bradbury
- Then watch the short film “2081”
- Re-read some dystopian lit, like the classics The Giver, F. 451, or some newer ones like Hunger Games, Legend, Truesight, etc

Where are my LNKs at?? 🪿 #followthegoose

I refuse to give up all our community spaces to the right.

My IUD was 100% covered, all three times. So worth checking into your insurance, for sure! Good luck 💕

Probably depends on your insurance, but I think there’s a federal law (right now 👀) that ensures coverage. Didn’t have a co-pay at all this morning for my procedure, but I’ll let you know if that changes! Call your insurance and ask about these billing codes: 58661 and Z30.2

Tips that have helped: Wear loose comfy pants for after surgery. I have a heating pad for my back, and a heated neck massager, too. I read somewhere that sipping sodas help relieve some gas by getting you to burp more, and I think that’s true. Also make sure you get up and walk around a bit!

Thank you! So far, just feels like mild cramps. ✅

Today, I got my bisalp sterilization procedure! I wanted to make sure I took advantage of the opportunity while it’s still legal and covered by insurance. Had the best doctor and surgical team, too! Home recovering, snuggling with my dog, and couldn’t feel more at peace. #mybodyMYchoice #childfree

I like Preach. It would be nice to make that word a more positive connotation than it sometimes gets.

👋 Hi! I’m a millennial who spends most of my free time snuggling the dog and reading books (and adding books to Storygraph!)

I also spend my days trying to get 12 and 13-year-olds to write coherent paragraphs and analyze what they read. They make me laugh a lot, so there’s that.

I LOVE STORYGRAPH!!! 👏👏
