⚕️♥️⚕️ Hello folks! Please make a donation to help with medical needs as I recover from that brain tumor. Not covered but necessary... lidocaine for pain management, a special soap for my infection-prone skin, electrolytes for heart rhythm, stuff like that. Also some fresh food - meals here are prison fare ugh (basically, slop). I need help now badly.
Thank you soooo much! 🙏♥️🙏 Read about it, links to contribute here - https://mailchi.mp/99065d8be764/chapterthree

👉👉👉 (Repost, forgot link!) Got it together to write an update! Seems I had one more trip to the hospital, took a few months to recover, so it's been a while. Coming out of a quasi-stupor, to be completely honest. A long, dark tunnel. Lately, it's like something has snapped back into place, brain and body going back online - how far this recovery goes, nobody knows. In the meantime, I'll leave you with this "quarterly report." 🥰

Check out this service dog in action! 🥺❤️

Here are some photos and video from Tuesday’s Disability Pride Flag raising in Brimbank; a powerful and history making moment. For the first time ever in Victoria, the Disability Pride Flag was raised, marking a big step forward in visibility, recognition, and celebration of our community.
Huge thanks to Mayor Thuy Dang and Councillors Daniel Kruk, Joh Bauch, Virginia Tachos, Duyen Anh Pham, and Kim Thien Truong for showing up and and standing with us in solidarity.
Much appreciation to DRC Advocacy, Accessible Victorian Greens, Brimbank City Council, and Larissa MacFarlane for organising and sponsoring this historical event.

😡😡😡 The petty dictator on call moron asshole doc tonight refuses to clear me for a Tylenol and a Benedryl. Fucking asshole. Soul crusher. Even though I've been taking both daily. Apparently the correct evening dose was never input for evening. ALL the other nurses just give it, so I didn't even know it wasn't on record, until tonight's temp nurse. A Benedryl and a Tylenol. Utterly ridiculous.
🧶🧶🧶 Another happy recipient of an Emotional Support Little Chickie! It's so gratifying to make these sweet little objects for people who help me in this nursing home environment, and to see the delight in their faces. 💕

@dianemagras Thank you for writing this! It means so much to me to hear that what I've written has "landed." Especially now, as I'm working on writing more from the heart. Here's another recent one I wrote...

Click through for a nifty little slide show video I put together just for you - it has glitches but go easy on me, it's my first one. 😊
Also there's a link about Nobel Laureate Geoffrey Hinton, and his prognosis for AI - some good, some scary.
Lastly, my plea for your financial support, sorely needed. 🙏♥️
