Been very tired and on/off feverish for the last few days. It’s rather annoying, not knowing whether it’s some bug I’m fighting or the #EHE sprinkled all over my lungs. And, y’know, wherever else it’s hiding out, given we’ve not yet found the primary. #Stage4 #CancerSucks #EHEAwareness #FightEHE

For #Caturday, here’s a super stealthy #HamishTheOrangeDoofus. I know it’s impossible to see where he is. How could anyone possibly guess? 😉 #cats #CatsOfBluesky #CatSky

Republicans halting mRNA research grants cost so many lives, and it breaks my heart.

For #BlackCatAppreciationDay, here’s my sassy little girl, #PandoraTheBabyPanther. She keeps me in line and shouts at me every day…and she’s wonderful.

#HamishTheOrangeDoofus is…doing…something? Who knows? I certainly don’t. Either way, a late #Caturday post from the orangest boy to ever orange.

And as he’d hate to miss out on our belated #Caturday, here’s #HamishTheOrangeDoofus. He’s trying to watch me and stay awake, but he’s tooooo sleeeeeeepy. #cats #CatSky #CatsOfBluesky #OrangeCats

This is what cowardice looks like. Hundreds of masked extremists marched through our nation's capital on America's 250th birthday, hiding their faces while claiming to "reclaim America." But the image everyone will remember isn't them. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

A bit late for #Caturday, but #PandoraTheBabyPanther has obviously found the noise of the last few days’ fireworks all too much…so she’s stretched out on my beloved @gordonchristie.bsky.social and in deeeeep sleep. #Cats #CatsOfBluesky #CatSky #BlackCat #ILoveMyHusband

Just putting this out there in the hope it’ll spread a little awareness and knowledge. Before I was diagnosed with #EpithelioidHemangioendothelioma, I hadn’t heard of it and it’s easy to feel unseen and alone when you have such a rare, incurable disease. #RareCancer #Sarcoma #Cancer #EHEAwareness

Never wanted to have to walk into one of these again! Saw surgeon: definitely stage 4 #EHE, definitely all over my lungs, definitely a pain in the neck. She’s seen 3 cases in her entire career. Need more scans to up the excitement! Sigh. #CancerSucks #RareCancer #EHEawareness #sarcoma #fightEHE

Are hospital machines created to give patients beep-symphony nightmares? Because I swear this one is driving me crazy. YES, machine. I know I’m tachycardic right now. My medical team knows I’m tachycardic right now. Machine, do you honestly think your incessant PING sounds will SLOW my heart?! 🫪🤷‍♀️

I rarely ever repost a post I made but PLEASE get traction with a swift reposting for this on all your media sites. Imagine how angry Fat Donnie will be if everywhere he goes he hears 'OBAMA! OH. BA. MA '!! Then call the coroner, because this should finally do his fat ass in.

So…lungs. Do I *really* need them? At the moment, having had a couple of pieces taken out of one of them, I’m about to be done with the entire idea. Lungs are PAINFUL. Halp.

I am unreasonably excited at this arrival. Do I love quinacridone paints? Yes. Do I need more paints? No. Do I now have too many #watercolour paints? Arguably, but I’ll poke you with the pointy end of a size 8 round if you try to take them from me. 😆 Off to swatch these beauties… #DanielSmith

Existential dread even worse after medical chats, so I’m doing the only reasonable thing by having bingsu (Korean shaved ice dessert) to temper both the sense of impending doom and the effects of the BURNING BALL OF FIERY DEATH in the sky. #Cupertino #California

I swear that being curled up in the dark in my big, comfortable bed with the love of my life, both cats snuggled up to me…is one of my happiest times. There’s something beautiful about the day being done and the rest of the world being locked out. Yes, I’m a soppy old girl. No, I’m not sorry. 😁

Reading test results from my recent hospital stay, and it says that on my abdo CT, all my organs looked normal. Great. It says specifically that my appendix is clear and healthy. Um… The doctor who removed it around 2015 would love a word with you about my amazing regenerative powers! 😳 #WTF

I’m attempting to convince Pandora that she doesn’t REALLY want to be on my side of the bed. She has (very squeaky) opinions. I’m currently still sitting on the bed. She hasn’t moved. Next move suggestions?! #PandoraTheBabyPanther #cats #CatSky #CatsOfBluesky #help

Why no, lady, I do not wish to take one of your religious booklets to “bring me comfort” while I’m stuck in hospital. I don’t think you should be taking advantage of a captive audience of vulnerable people in pain. 😠 I was very polite to the woman concerned, but seriously?!? 😳@sccgov.bsky.social
