Today I saw the sun again after a week of being cooped up at home with fever and general malaise. I'm not back to full strength yet, but I'm recovering quickly. Wishing everyone a bright and sunny week! ☀️ #recovery#sunshine#health#wellness
I am stressing out a little bit.
I am going to have a procedure next week. Been in the planning phase for months. Before I got hired at my current job.
I filed for the leave since it will be more than 10 days for recovery.
I am denied for this. This means that I will not get any money this time off and will have to figure out how to keep my #job for being off past the 10 day limit.
I am in a bind. I was hoping for a small amount from leave and such. Now I will not be getting anything and I am simply not willing to postpone a gender affirming change.
Being trans and getting met with a wall that tells me I need to work a job for a year in order to get medical care is frustrating.
So here is my pitch.
I will be taking some pictures of my body and focus on the body part that will change. I will then wait for some healing to take place and follow up with a matching set showing the new look.
So I will be pre-selling a set of 20 #images of my #sexy ass self nude pre and post #operation.
If this is beyond your need or want, you could simply send me a few bucks to help a cat out.
I was expecting to get about $500 minimum from work leave. I was not asking for more than what I could slid by with.
If I can raise that before the #surgery I would be super happy. Short of that I will likely have to cry every work shift until then and be eating peanut butter a jelly sammish for food while I recover.
Please help me get some viability on this. I really want to feel safe after I come out of this #recovery period and I am simply not giving up on this simply because some red tape tells me I might lose my job. This is more important.
🧤Tonight I’m with other volunteers at the Malden Warming Center and want to share a message from Malden Cares team, who offer help with recovery support services.
“If you witness a person do a kind thing towards another person, write it on one of these slips and put it in this jar. Once a week we will pick one and give the person either dunks card or a Charlie card.” 🏆
First time I pushed myself since I recovered from pneumonia and a water in my left lung (mid to late 2021).
I used the closed roads being used by two race events, #EarthRun and #ASICS run. 😜
I think being with fellow runners made it easier. I didn't feel any pain and I rarely had to catch my breath. Though I was still slow as compared to before I got sick, and had a lot of walks than runs, this was still far better than whenever I ran 5k solo this year.
I just did thirty ring rows. Aside from walking, this is the first exercise I’ve done since getting sick with COVID. I feel a little lightheaded despite scaling the exercise so it wasn’t too hard. Later, if I feel more “normal,” I’m going to try some sit-ups or push-ups. #covid#recovery
Stability in recovery requires more than abstinence. It requires support in all domains of life.
Autistic people, in particular, are more likely to struggle with social deprivation, and for us to achieve recovery and/or sobriety, we need support that takes account of the unique challenges that we face.
New research shows that when police get suspected drug abusers treatment rather than arresting them, those people are less likely to abuse drugs or commit drug-related crimes in the future.
