My drama queen EDS skin bruised at my infusion appointment last week and the bruise was still there today, so they couldn't put the IV in the same place. Tried farther down and that was a no-go (yay, another bruise). Ended up putting it in my hand. Sigh.
(Can't do the right arm bc that's my cane arm and I need to be able to walk out of the clinic.)
O great IV magnesium, ye who cost an alarming amount out of pocket, if it please ye, do actually do something to make my chronic migraine fuck off, so mote it be.

The Hardest Part
It’s not often she’s called upon. Or, more specifically, not often she’s called upon by people she actually knows beforehand. Usually it’s just work within different clinics as she makes her way across Alternia. She never stays for long- there’s always some sort of resentment that builds up and she’s so tired of fighting back to prove she knows what she’s doing.
She’d gone to school for this, damnit, and she had top scores across all her classes! Not to mention the sweeps upon sweeps of actual practice on willing patients. Nursing meant everything to her, it was the one area she could shine in, so she was done trying to fight for her place in life when she could just leave. Still, Nerola tried to make friends.
Like her friend who was reaching out to her now- another oliveblood like her. He was a scientific mind, he could appreciate what she did and she loved him for that. Not romantically of course, they both swung opposite ways and she had no ideas of getting between him and her moirail. Still, he treated her the nicest a man had ever treated her.
So when he called asking for her help? Of course she dropped everything to be there on the double. She’d been trying to stay close to his hive this sweep, trying to build up a long standing friendship between them. He held back but they had some sort of rapport that gave her hope. Hope that led to her being close enough to be trusted with his moirail’s health!! A small miracle she’d treasure- but only after said moirail was properly treated.
It took half a day to get there, dashing between the shadows. She could treat each little burn as they came up, the hardest part was keeping her eyes closed while she ran- her eyes were only safe in the shade. Nerola was exhausted by the time she made it to her friend’s hive, her kit heavy in her arms.
“You took long enough.” Koreki said in greeting and she took it as a sign that his moirail wasn’t doing so great.
“S-so sorry! The-that is the- I-” She trailed off, taking time to catch her breath. “The sun was a problem. Lead me to my patient, and tell me every symptom she’s had that you know of.”
“Thisss way.” He hissed out, allowing her in and leading her towards his own bedroom. In any other situation, she’d be over the moon with the clear trust between them. But this was serious, not friendly. “She’s had a fever. A bit of trouble keeping things down. There’s needle marks all over her forearms. Excessive sweating. Tokoki barely stays conscious for a few minutes at a time. Whatever it was, it was strong.”
Nerola immediately sets up by her patient. She starts with a simple triage, jotting down her numbers on a small notepad. Then she moves on to setting up an IV- her normally shaky hands are completely still as she gets the needle in and sets up fluids. “Without knowing what it is, the best we can do is flush it out of her system. Administering another drug could prove deadly. If she’s not up to consciousness within a few hours, I’ll set up a feeding tube. It’s important that she’s getting all she needs to fight this out. If you wouldn’t mind, may I pl-please have a cool, damp soft washcloth? It will go over her forehead, to help soothe.”
Koreki practically jumped up at the instructions, shuffling quickly around until he could bring the requested item back. “And now?”
“We wait.”

Today I get my upper endoscopy to see if I have Celiac's or not (they can tell by looking at the villi -- fingerlike projections in the small intestine that increase surface area to soak up nutrients -- in my doctor's words, "if you have Celiac's then it looks like someone went in and played Whack-A-Mole" and the villi will be broken or stubby).
I've never had an IV or anaesthesia before, so I'm a little nervous about it, and especially bc I can't eat beforehand so I'll already be faint when I check in and then they stick in the needle and THEN I have to sit there with the needle in me for who knows how long (my friend who's had an endoscopy before said they talk to you AFTER putting in the needle, and I was hoping SO HARD that the needle was the last thing they did before knocking me out 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭). So I'm going to have to warn them that I might pass out or throw up or both since I haven't eaten and the needle fucking stays IN MY BODY for so long. And then the anaesthesia... I've never been under before, and I hope everything goes smoothly. My grandma, who is a retired nurse, is going to take me back to her house and look after me afterwards, which greatly eases my nervousness. She knows what she's doing.
I get the results from the endoscopy in 5-6 business days. If I have Celiac's, then that's an easy answer to the bowel problems I've been dealing with my whole life (and possibly an answer to some of the stomach and bowel problems my family has), but I have to stop eating gluten for the most part, which is rough because gluten-heavy foods are a STAPLE of my diet. I eat SO MUCH wheat. And I love it. On the other hand, if I don't have Celiac's, then I can eat as much bread as I want but have to keep trying to figure out what's wrong with me and how to make it stop. So, like. Both sides have big pros and cons. But either way, I'm going to celebrate the results by eating just a fuckload of bread 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And then tomorrow morning, if everything goes according to plan, I drive up to have gay brunch and see a play out of town with my friends! I'm so excited!

something that i really like about blue eye samurai, now that im thinking about it, is that it discusses violence against women without becoming torture porn. like, in a lot of media that portrays women's issues, they show you that scene. like they give you this extended visual of a woman experiencing something traumatic and then laud themselves as feminist for doing so.
blue eye samurai doesn't do that. the whole show is set in a world that is extremely antagonistic toward women, and it makes a point to tell you that being a woman right now sucks, because they are property and are used sexually. but even though it doesn't shy away from this, it doesn't show you the violence itself, which you would almost expect it to because of how graphic the rest of the show is.
im thinking specifically of kinuyo. they very well could have shown us a scene of her being abused, but they didn't. they didn't show the abuse itself, but they did show how it affected her. they showed her seeing a doctor for her sores. they could have made this incredibly traumatic and grotesque scene a spectacle, showing us exactly how powerless she is and how powerful he is. they could have shown us this incredibly triggering event in full detail for our entertainment, but they didn't. they chose not to. and i think that's how it should be.
it is not necessary to have an extended visual and auditory reenactment of violence against women. we the audience understood the gravity of the situation and were able to empathize without needing that scene. having that scene would have completely detracted from the point they are trying to make. it would have turned something completely reprehensible that women everywhere fear because it's a very real issue into entertainment.

Procedure went well! Most difficult part was the IV, which was expected, but I did a good job being brave and staying calm! I kept my vision the WHOLE TIME even though I hadn't eaten today (bc I can't eat for a number of hours before the procedure)! I'm so proud of myself!
After waking up from anaesthesia, for the first time in my entire life, I had no fear of needles and was able to look at the IV in my hand and fucking TOUCH IT with no fear, creepy feeling, chills, or nausea. It was fucking WILD. And then after I started gaining my senses and waking up fully the fear came back 😅 By the time the nurse came to remove it, I was back to looking intently at the ceiling and taking deep breaths. And this evening while talking about the IV (just talking. I wasn't even in the hospital anymore. We were just TALKING), I felt the chills and creeps come up my spine and the backs of my arms again. It was SO WEIRD to have that brief moment of no fear or discomfort followed by my regular creeps I get about needles. Was absolutely NOT expecting that to be part of the drug.
Doc said everything looks normal in there, and I get the results of my biopsies back next week, probably, to see if I have Celiac's or not.
