Well for starters I am. Not doing real good mentally but who the fuck is, we’re on like month six of this pandemic and the world is a nightmare if you are or live with someone who is immunocompromised!

But

My ankle is healed! And I am back to skating twice a week. I found a local outdoor rink that will be good at least until winter

(And possibly even during winter, as long as the park stays open)

I am also back to powerlifting, and last week I deadlifted my body weight. Which is now MORE than my body weight

Because I lost two pounds since then

I'm glad your ankle's healed, fam

And that you're back to lifting!

Im so glad to hear your ankle is healed and that your able to skate and lift again!

Umm what else

Mike is sick with mystery immunological illness

It’s apparently not Hashimoto’s because he’s still sick and getting worse and no one will treat him

He sees a new specialist and a new doctor this week

have they done any lupus tests? i know it may not be at the forefront of their minds bc it's rare in men, but i remember they thought my mom had hashimoto's at first too

i say "i remember" it's more like "i remember my mom telling me" this was 1978 i was not born yet lol

currymuttonpizza: the likeliest answer is a benign tumor on his pituitary that would require an MRI

i am really glad you're on the mend!!

But no one will give him an MRI

Thats not cool, they need to do that for him.

Right.

Will update on that likely come the 7th after his appt because we will know more

that is awful. i hope that brings more info

For me, I saw a therapist for an autism screening. The process was horrific and dehumanizing in a way it should not have been, she insisted on seeing Mike in the sessions and treating it like couples therapy, and she triggered me into a dissociative state--

And she is refusing to provide the diagnosis in writing now, saying I have to have my future therapists contact her for it

what the fuck

Which violates my rights as a patient

But

I am in fact on the spectrum

And have been dealing with the emotional backlash of that.

Wow thats messed up of her.\

Yeah tbh my life has been a whole lot of “what the fuck” wrt doctors

Lately

Aside from all that, I’m down fifty or sixty pounds and almost to my goal weight.

Which ig means setting a new goal weight Bc I still am quite padded.

Evieeeee! I have been thinking about you lately! I’m sorry things have been so rough, but I’m glad for the good news!

You’re looking amazing!

looking gr8 but I'm sorry there's so much WTF going on I want to punch that so-called therapist w.h.a.t. and we miss having you around and I hope things get better soon <3

That specialist sounds like an asshole, but the information is good to have

Why won't they give Mike an MRI?!

Specialist sounds like one of those 'they need a cure' people
and uuuuugh poor Mike and poor You in this

The specialist is a fucking nightmare

Coming for that specialist with the teeth bat

I'll join you
