Long story short, my otherwise perfectly healthy partner had to go through brain surgery earlier today due to a clot in her brain causing two mini-strokes. She’s fine now and expected to make a full recovery with no lasting damage but man it was so scary :c

We’re barely in our mid-20s this sort of shit isn’t supposed to happen! She has to stay at the hospital until Sunday and we don’t know if there will be rehab and stuff involved. We do know that the docs are going to try their best to find out why it happened.

I feel morbidly vindicated in my impostor syndrome telling me life was going a bit too well in more or less all aspects lately, so this kind of thing feels deserved somehow (for me not for her she’s the most precious thing on earth and deserve only good things)

No real point just wanted to yell into the void a bit. My family and friends are all great for support so I’ll be fine.

    nobody deserves clots in the brains of themselves or their loved ones. there is no such thing. do you think you are such a unique and world historical figure that your badness has rubbed off in a new way, previously unseen? imho that is too self important, get off that horse.

    it sounds like all of humanity’s collective resources have wrapped themselves around you and your partner to save her from the clots like an inside hug. science and compassion are doing their best because youse are valued. it is objective. i can say anything on the internet but you are there and can see the resources.
