So tired of seeing “must be height/weight proportionate” on bear sites (you know which one). I have been tempted to put in my profile “must be personality/cock size/attitude proportionate”.

CHECKING IN

Fri, 22 Jun 2012 12:54:44 -0400

First, I would like to thank everyone for their messages, texts, emails and posts regarding my birthday last month. I am sorry that I have not been able to respond sooner. It has definitely been one to remember!

As, some of you know, back in February I began having issues with kidney srones. This led to a much bigger problem with my kidneys petty much shutting down and my body retaining massive amounts of fluid. On my birthday I was admitted to the ER with much of this fluid collected around my heart. A procedure called a pericardial window was performed . Thw surgeon removed 13 litres of fluid from around my heart. Also, while under anesthesia I suffered a stroke. I spent 26 days in ICU and was finally released home on May 30 to recover. I am slowly recovering with the help of my devoted partner of almost 15 years, Anthony as well as physical and occupational therapy. I am able to walk again already with the aid of a walker and I am getting stronger every day. In the beginning I was also unable to read, speak (some of you will find that to be a blessing!) or use my left hand, but those are coming back as well everyone expects a full recovery but it takes timeI will still not be on FB as often for awhile, but I will be back, so continue your messages, they’re motivational to me and Anthony helps me go through them when I’m able, so I do get them.

Love to you all!

So, i have been lightheaded and fainted a couple of times recently and wanted to put it down to this kidney issue i have been having. Today (my birhday!) I was at a routine doctor visit and was admitted to hospital when i became weak and started vomiting, etc. Seems I am pretty anemic. My hemoglobin count should be 14 and mine was 6.5. So, i am in hospital and got a blood transfusion for my birthday. Please, don’t be jelly.

sorry I haven't posted much

lately. Everything has been an ordeal. Normally, I am not one to complain online because it is somewhere most people come to escape mundane shit like health issues. In all fairness though, it is my blog and I wanted to (sort of) explain my absences.

I have been pretty ill since February. Constant kidney issues that basically came out of the blue. I keep thinking I am getting better only to get ill again. Yesterday was a prime example- just supposed to drop off a urine sample at the doctor to prepare for surgery on May 16th.

Throwing up and unable to walk more than 20 feet at a time after the visit- check.

Severe dehydration, painful urination and sediment in my urine - check.

Passing out and losing consciousness (luckily at home and not alone) - check.

Wonderful day, right?

I am sure you can see why posting has taken a backseat- not to mention my work. I have had to completely rethink everything that is upcoming because I don’t know if I can meet deadlines, so I am pretty non-committal at the moment.

*sigh*

That’s all for now.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott Slashes Rape Counseling During Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 03:45:00 -0400

With a flick of his pen, Florida’s tea party Republican governor, Rick Scott, used a line-item veto to cut funding to the state’s rape crisis centers last week—in the middle of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

The centers in all of Florida’s 67 counties, coordinated by the Florida Council Against Sexual Violence, are supported by a trust fund made up of fines levied on sexual offenders. But the fund, established in 2003, isn’t yet large enough. “Fewer than 10% of sexual violence programs are able with current resources to provide the standard services identified as those most needed by rape victims,” the group’s site states. “As a result, many programs have waiting lists.”

The state legislature had approved $1.5 million to help close the gap so the centers could keep serving the approximately 700,000 women in Florida who’ve been victims of rape. But in reviewing the state’s $70 billion budget, Scott decided last Tuesday that the .002 percent slated for the crisis centers was just too much. He used his line-item power to veto the funds, alongside $141 million in other cuts targeting a wide range of projects, including an indigent psychiatric medicine program, Girls Incorporated of Sarasota County, the Alzheimer’s Family Care Center of Broward County, and a state settlement for child welfare case managers who were owed overtime.

But the cuts to rape crisis centers—first reported by the nonprofit investigative Florida Independent—especially hurt, coming as they did in the middle of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Jennifer Dritt, director of the Florida Council Against Sexual Violence, told theIndependent she was “disappointed” by the veto, since the council’s money had been included in the budget passed by the mostly Republican legislature. “There must be some kind of disconnect,” she said. “We are really surprised and frankly stunned—[and] are trying to figure out what the heck happened.”

Scott’s explanation, offered by spokesman Lane Wright, was that this “new funding of $1.5 million would have been duplicative, since, as a state, we already fund sexual violence programs…The state already provides about $6.5 million for rape prevention and sexual assault services.”

Dritt said the governor needs to check his numbers. “He’s probably including rape prevention and education money,” she said. “You think they would have asked us about that, and we could explain to them very clearly what money is available for our programs. It looks like $1.5 million is a lot of money to ask for, but frankly, when you spread it across 67 counties, it’s not.”

It’s not a lot of money, but it could have a lot of impact—and not just on rape victims, but on politics in the state. In his defense of the governor, spokesman Wright quickly added: “[A]nyone who’s trying to say this veto is evidence of a war on women is deliberately trying to mislead the public for political ends.”

Who would say that?
