They took my lady parts

Had the surgery, and now I don’t have ovaries or fallopian tubes anymore. They took them out through my belly button! So weird. Also I’ve had issues with my skin hurting for over a month now – I call it jellyfish skin cuz it feels like I’m being stung by jellyfish – that were shockingly *not* resolved by having surgery. All of this has really lowered my bandwidth to do much beyond the minimum of get up/pretend to work/binge things while reclined on the couch/play Lego Harry Potter on Switch with Ike when he gets home from school/watch something with Jordan when he gets home from work/sleep. I owe texts and calls to so many people.

Oh and I took some Oxy during the first week of surgery recovery. It was like…things still hurt, but I didn’t care, everything was funny, and then I fell asleep haaaaard. I can see why people like it.

Things I’ve watched lately: Ride or Die, almost all of the Spidermen (3 Hollands, 2 Garfields, 3 Maguires, 1 Spiderverse), part of Ladybird, 93% of Andor, Argylle, Mayday, season 1 of Loot, 50% season 2 of The Rehearsal.

In two weeks I have two post-op appointments (for two different surgeries), a bone density test, an oncology appointment, and I restart chemo. Boy I hope my everything feels better by then.
