Soft grit, loud coffee, relentless pain. Talking spoons, 🥄 talking cats 😺— both make sense here. I'm sharing the messy + the funny sides of being a spoonie. 😀 DM is always open

Thanks!
I'm just a little concerned about recovery. I know they want you up and walking to speed healing, but I'm in a wheelchair so idk how that's gonna work. I guess I'll find out.

With chronic illness, we will never "get well soon"

Just got off the phone with pre surgery registration. I guess it's official. I'm having hysterectomy on October 30th. Thankfully, it will be laparoscopic and robotic so recovery shouldn't be too bad. Fingers crossed 🤞

My body: exhausted.
My brain: “let’s overthink every decision since 2008.”

Goodnight from your local soft grit spoonie running on stubbornness and a heating pad 💫

If your bedtime routine includes pain, anxiety, or just vibes, you’re my people
Drop a 💤 so I know I’m not the only one still awake.

my fiance just told me he can't take FMLA to take care of me after my hysterectomy.

He is off for the week right after, but after that I'm worried that I won't be able to do anything.

Yikes! 😳

I feel an anxiety attack coming...

*send calming thoughts please*

The waiting and the unknown 😭

Some trauma isn’t loud or obvious. It’s growing up around instability. It’s being gaslit until you doubt your own memory. It’s never feeling safe enough to rest.

You don’t have to prove your pain to deserve healing. 💛

I don't know who needs to hear this, but rest is productive.
Naps are self care.

Same blood.
Different skin.
One fight.

The image likely represents unity among different races and the shared pain or struggle related to issues like racism, inequality, or social justice

I think everyone that is on a healing journey will, sooner or later, ask "If you take the sick away, who am I supposed to be??" ( song lyrics. "Supposed to be" by Icon for hire)

I love you with all my medical chart.
I would say "my heart" but my chart is bigger.

Chronic illness sleep — you close your eyes, your body screams, your brain starts monologuing, and suddenly it’s morning.

“Rested”? Couldn’t be me. 😭

I've been on Olazapine (Zypreaxa) for a couple weeks and I feel so much better!!! I am sleeping better cuz it cut down dramatically on the severity and frequency of my nightmares. My nerve pain is not as bad, and I feel happier and less depressed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
