Done. Zero fucks to give.
Three ring circus, liberal, and damned tired of watching the hate, the cruelty and the ignorance. It doesn’t have to be like this. Trying to stay sane and create a world my grandkids can thrive in.

The Frida Mom c-section silicone scar tape is the best scar tape I’ve ever used. It’s sticks for 7 days straight. I bought it for my leg because I needed something that would stick on the curve of my calf and long incision. l used the leftover for my Achilles surgery. Perfect.

I’m so sorry. They seem to be really bad at it. 4th neurosurgeon diagnosed me. I could barely walk. He looked at my X-ray stood up he took a step back and told me I had no disc left between L5 & S1 and scheduled me for surgery then next week. I swear some docs just don’t care about women

Oh I know this struggle all too well. I injured myself moving and my left leg was out at a 45 degree angle for 12 long years of pain. They wouldn’t replace my hip because I was a woman (yeppers) When I found a surgeon who said “what the hell, why did they let this go?”

You sure can. I did that. I tore a muscle the same time so the joint space filled with blood and my should eventually popped back in on its own. It was a rough few weeks though. I needed surgery on it eventually.
