Fahrenheit is how humans feel. Celsius is how water feels. Kelvin is how molecules feel.

Pops (in the nursing home): I hardly know the nurses anymore. Many of them are gone.

Me: Many of them were Somali, Pops.

I would keep a stash of half-rotten oranges on hand just for this purpose.

I gave up owning cars, but I always had compact cars. Somebody tried to tell me my Honda Civic was okay for driving around the city, but that it shouldn’t be allowed on the highway because it was too dangerous to drive around larger vehicles. πŸ™„

Maybe you’re too large, bro.

Go to Kitty’s house! New spaces can be scary for many cats. He’ll be more confident welcoming you to his house.

Endo is complex and difficult, but you have a large community who believe you and support you. πŸ’›πŸŒ»πŸ’›

3) Endometriomas (chocolate cysts) almost always indicate severe disease.

A general gyn surgeon won’t be able to handle complex endometriosis cases. Find expert help. Some surgeons will even do free case reviews to help you find your treatment path forward.

Your sister’s story sounds a lot like mine.

1) Endometriosis has a very strong genetic component.

2) MRI can frequently miss endometriosis either due to the experience of the person reading the MRI, or because the MRI resolution misses the lesions.

Thank you for the work you do. Because of advocates like you, I learned to accept that I can’t just push through the pain and fatigue of endometriosis. I give myself grace when I need rest. πŸ’›πŸŒ»πŸ’›

Merry Christmas and peace to you.

Pope Leo calls for kindness to strangers and the poor in Christmas message Refusing to help those in need is tantamount to rejecting God himself, says pontiff during Christmas Eve mass Pope Leo has told Christians that the Christmas story should remind them of their duty to help the poor and strangers. In his Christmas Eve sermon, the pope said the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn showed followers that refusing to help those in need was tantamount to rejecting God himself.
