Hannah Siden

Modern Medicine by Hannah Siden It's as simple as blood & bone. Even now, even so many years on, in the 21s century. They offer patches: blood into needle into spine. A puncture to repair a puncture. They can't be sure of hitting the right spot. Expect complications. Imaging is not always reliable. Even now, even so many years on. Like kids doing arts & crafts, we glue ourselves back together. I am Raggedy Ann on the steel table, on too much Xanax. The doctor tells me I'm doing great & I believe that he's really trying. It's a science & yet entirely up to chance. After all, it's left to my body to hold the patches or reject them. For weeks I barely breathe. Then the headache returns. Blood spreads against dura which shifts against bone. The leaks open & re-open. I shatter in my disbelief. Even now, even so. Even so.

Tell me again how they’re marginal. Absolute nonsense.

Say hi to Heidi @dotsgtgrandbaby.bsky.social!

Of course, glad to see you here!!

There's a sticker on a window that read, "Directed by DAVID LYNCH," and now my fucked up funhouse of a ilife doesn't seem QUITE as - no, that's not quite right. It's still a surreal, bizarre, whackadoo carnival of fuckery from hell. But at least if it's taking place in a Lynchian universe, I can assuage my devastating anxiety and terror with the knowledge that all of this is ordinary in Lynchworld. Now all I have to do is keep an eye out for anything that seems NORMAL in the NORMAL sense... because that's the shit that'll really fuck you up.

Stuck this to the window and now the world makes a LITTLE more sense...

Next week is apparently Sea Otter Awareness Week, so remember: If you sea otter, say otter.
