As you know, my goal is to keep these podcast posts manageable and as simple as possible,
so here we go!


Rectal surgery in 7 days? What’s a girl to do?
Get her shit together- and avoid everyone else’s!

Getting shit together deets:

  • navigate disability denials, talk to lawyers, fill out paper work, fill out more paperwork, write and notarize your will, advance directive, and power of attorney, get lab test, figure out how to communicate with friends and family during surgery and hospital stays, get stuck with some more needles, eat everything I can get my hands on that I won’t be able to eat for awhile, more paperwork, go to the pharmacy, restock the kitchen with low fiber high protein bland food, find an outlet that has good pudding, try to get ahold of nurses who should have already called you to share information with you, fill out some more paperwork, set up Google Calendars, attempt to avoid governmental systemic thinking that is confusing and really wants to reward you not for healing and positivity but negativity and victimhood.

Whew! Was that simple enough for you?

Thank god I’ve spent my life learning how to thrive in chaos.

More to come…love you!
Jenni
