Chronic SOS - June 4, 2023

For today, let's do another meme dump with a queer twist in the spirit of pride month!

Because I'm me, I'll be trying to find an entire alphabet of memes to represent the "alphabet army". To save readers a lot of loading headaches, i’ll be doing it in parts: part 1 is A-L.

The story of trying and failing to get help for chronic UTIs and kidney stones, before finally getting the help I needed - but almost too late.

Ask Aunt Lori - “The Pill” and Antibiotics

Dear Aunt Lori,

I currently take birth control pills. If I get sick and take antibiotics, will my pills no longer work?

Birth Uncontrolled?

Because I love Animal Crossing, it's no surprise that I love Stardew Valley too. Em got me into it (once again, shoutout Em) and in turn, I got my mirror BFF into it.

Ask Aunt Lori - Tubal Ligation

Dear Aunt Lori,

I've had all the kids I want and I don't want anymore! I love being a mom, but I can't have a whole circus! I want to get my tubes tied, can you tell me more about it?

Celebrating & Mourning My Voice

I sung everywhere: in the shower, in the car, in my room, and on stages. I've sung for graduations, competitions, basketball games, and to my dogs.

But when I woke up on February 17 of 2016, when I tried to ask my mom where I was, nothing came out.

Mental Health Metal

Metal music has a bad reputation of being a generally negative genre; but behind the screaming, heavy drums and guitars, there's actually a lot of good being done.

Decorating

When I was a teenager, I had to have my gallbladder removed. It was my first surgery and experience with anesthesia and painkillers stronger than Tylenol.

Ask Aunt Lori - Vasectomy

Dear Aunt Lori,

I don't want any more kids. I don't want my wife to go through a surgery, but I'm also scared of a vasectomy. Is it really painful and difficult? Will I have to take hormones afterwards?

No More Babies

Ask Aunt Lori - Why are you still wearing a mask?

Dear "Aunt Lori",

Covid is over; why are you still wearing a mask? Are you so afraid of a LITTLE virus that you're going to stop living life forever?

Neurodivergent Love Languages

While these aren't official, it is another pattern in human behavior; it's really helpful to learn how neurodivergent people communicate and show affection that may differ from the general ways.

I somehow managed to accidentally delete my Animal Crossing New Horizons Island I had built up (AND the backup), but after I was mad at myself for a while, I started up a new one. It's finally starting to look good again and I'm reminded of how great Animal Crossing is for games that are relaxing and fun - perfect for distracting you from uncooperative organs.
