Wow! Didn’t realise people were so appreciative of me growing!
Well, I’m always glad for the encouragement! Here’s to another 50lb of beef and padding! 😁
I managed a full day of work in the lab, and DM’d a game of DnD for a 6-player party of fellow scientists, and then managed a 2 mile walk in under an hour.
I did so much more today than I thought I was capable of. I’m really really proud today.

Feeling cute in that post-back-surgery kinda way
6.8.2023 20:24Mirror SelfieFeeling cute in that post-back-surgery kinda wayAnd I am home! I’m groggy. I’m sore. I’m loopy. My throat is sand paper and staying awake is very difficult. And above all else, my sciatic nerve isn’t on fire anymore! Thank goodness!
Now to heal.
It’s surgery day!!! I should be able to walk again in a few hours! And stand! And sit! I’m so excited!

Until then, can I live vicariously through you all? Just head out sometime this weekend and take a picture of something that makes you smile. A flower, a flag in a window, a doll box in a movie theatre, a dog looking happy.
Just… something other than these 4 walls.

I knew my English teacher was smarter than me, but I never believed Mr Perry when he said I really needed to understand Active and Passive voices.
Queer joy: you and your fellow puppies have moshed, have the endorphins flowing through you all, are dripping in sweat, and are lying together in a huge cuddle puddle. There is not a face in the pile that doesn’t have a huge grin and a full heart.
I wish something equally joyous on all of you this weekend.
Vulnerability, spine stuff
It’s getting harder and harder just to sit. There’s nerve pain in new places.
I know this is a temporary thing. I know I’ve got the best neurosurgeon in the region waiting for me. I know I just have to keep the faith for 3 more weeks until the surgery.
But watching yourself deteriorate day by day is a very scary experience, and one I don’t wish on anybody else.
So! Fun!
The disc has degenerated really badly, is herniated, and I think the spinal cyst is back.
The fun thing is, this is me analysing my own images because the American healthcare system makes an Entmoot look hasty.
We’ll find out what the next step is sometime next week.
Yay!!! It’s MRI day! I get to find out what the hell is wrong with my back and whether I need surgery!

Because you can’t change the world. But you can change *someone*’s world.
I! Have! A PROJECT!!!
I’m a real scientist doing real work on something real that nobody else has done before!!!

And he explained a few more bits of the method he used and he kind of took a dump on the paper I presented last month. Called them “disingenuous”.
Wow! Big important scientists are as catty as gays, they just use longer words!
Fun science fact! A 6th patient has been cured of HIV! Same method as the others, in Chicago this time.
I need to try and talk to the doctor who did it and ask him some questions while we’re both here.
Wish me luck!
I love you awesome people. I wish I could hug you all.
