I got a chance to take my favorite human to my favorite place after seeing my favorite band this weekend π thanks for one of the greatest 48 hours I've had in a while. (And thanks for humoring me with selfies) π₯°ππ
Happy Halloween // Samhain!!!! πππππ

Drains. Are. Out. I'm crying the happiest tears i have ever cried. I never thought I'd have the guts to be myself. I have lived my whole life afraid of hurting the ones that I love // the ones that love me by being my true self in front of them. Turns out the only one that I was hurting was myself. This is just the beginning of the rest of my life, and holy crap is it going to be amazing! I can feel it in my bones!! (And yes, obviously, I put on an shirt for my first time wearing normal shirts again.)
When you and your friend have similar experiences with your top surgery drains π€£π
My drain removal apt was supposed to be at 7:30am tomorrow, meaning I'd have to be in the car at 5:30am so I called the doctor's office told them how much I'm still draining and we pushed it back to Friday at a normal functioning hour π₯΄
Teet yeet success! Now on to the recovery! Big shout out to Dr. Nigriny and his team, and the anesthesia team over at Dartmouth-Hitchcock in NH for the fantastic job of getting me in and out! I can't wait to see what my new chest looks like! And big big shout out to the best girlfriend a person could ask for and the best mother too ππππππ thanks for taking care of me today (and every day lol) I love you both so much π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°

Not me screaming of excitement when pops up on screen in the current show my partner and I are binging rn tehehehehehe oh man π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°
It's been 18 years since we celebrated this day with you here. And even though I feel you with me every day, it'll never be the same as having you here with us. Today, we celebrate another birthday down here without you. Val and I are going to make your favorite cake with the kiddos and sing to having had those 12 and a half years with you here. We'll sing to all those memories we have with you. Happy 30th Birthday, Ali! I hope you're celebrating too, wherever you are. Love you & I'll keep missing you until I can see you again. π
Heyyyy everyone..... guess what??? Surgery is postponed without a date until my appeal with my health insurance goes through. Or I raise $8,000.00 to pay the hospital upfront. So that is currently where we stand on my surgery.
This has really taken a mental toll on me... but yesterday I FINALLY was able to muster up the courage to send the well researched and documented letter that my amazing partner Sylvie did, and my own letter to my insurance yesterday. I also emailed the hospital last week with what we assume is the correct insurance code. Haven't heard s**t from the doctor yet. But my insurance just got back to me to tell me they are opening the appeal case! Which takes around a month...
Sylvie also managed to do most of the work for Plans A & B, but she also has Plans C, D, and maybe even E in place ready for ex*****on just in case this all goes horribly wrong.
In the meantime I guess this is good news for me, more time to work & save money, and more time to raise the funds I'd still need. Sooo guess I should really start posting this around again since there is a chance I'll need to raise 8k...
Thank you all again for the continued support and love through all this bull s**t I've been going through.
Hopefully the next update is a good one.....

Latest Top Surgery Update:
Hey everyone. It's been a minute. I've been fighting off the depression demons.... today should have been my top surgery. But instead it's the day that I have begun the appeal process for my health insurance. My new date is around Memorial Day Weekend... so here's to hoping.... again, any help is appreciated! Whether it be donating or sharing everything helps and means the world to me! https://gofund.me/b17086d4

Top Surgery Update: Health Insurance Companies Suck! I've been MIA more than I wanted to because of all of this crap..... I should have had top surgery today but my health insurance denied me. So now I have to ...
Hey all,
Sooooo....... there's been a bit of a change of plans... Last week I got a notification from endocrinology that they wanted to schedule an appointment for when I'd be in for my follow up appointment with my plastic surgeon on February 8th. After several phone calls and voicemails later, it seems that somehow my surgery got cancelled and a follow up appointment was scheduled in it's place.
I have no idea when this happened because I never got a notification that it was changed. I'm glad that my endo wanted to see me and reached out otherwise I'd have looked at my patient portal a few days out and have been confused AF.
So I guess I'll figure out when I will ACTUALLY have my top surgery on the 8th.... It probably won't be until the end of spring/beginning of summer now.... but that's okay... I've already waited this many years. What's a few more months..? ugh.
Anyway once I have more info I'll keep ya'll updated. the good news is this gives me a few more months to save & raise money!
Best,
Vik (They/Them)

Hey all - in less than a month I'll be getting top surgery. My girlfriend helped me set up this gofundme for my birthday to help raise money to cover the daily and medical expenses that I'll have during my recovery time for several weeks... if you could please help, that would be wonderful! π

Full Harvest Moon, night 1. Gods bless this phone.
It's been a while... things seem to be settling again. Things are gonna be happening again soon. I can't wait. π
Two 5 leaf and two 4 leaf! (10, 11, 12, & 13 for the year!) Gave them to the nibblings ππππ
#9 πππππππππ
The last super moon for the year, with a bonus rainbow cloud. π things are going to settle down soon. It's going to be alright π
Number 8. Two of the leaves started off as one and split soon after! This is probably the coolest clover I've ever found. πππππππππ
Lucky Number 7 for the year! Found on an impromptu walk to the park ππππ
#6 π hi Nonna & Nonno π I wish I could have grown up knowing you. But you always know when to reach out and remind me you're always with me.
Last week my sister & her family went on a family vacation to Legoland and I got to hang out with their pet dragon and cats for a few days. This lovely Lady was my repayment for that! Shout out to the kiddos who helped pick out a great morning activity!! ππππ

Just as I finished writing in my journal how there's been so many signs and blessings in my life lately. I looked out into the grass I'm sitting in thinking "yeah but Nonna Alice hasn't shown me any in a while..." convinced she's given up on me for some reason or another.... and the second I look into the grass BAM there's a 4 leaf clover waiting for me.
Things are going to start changing soon and this is only reassurance that I'm on the correct path. The path might look like I'm back at zero, but I think it's just maybe because I'm starting the next chapter. Heck, maybe even book! Either way someone(s) is/are looking out for me when I feel like I've lost all reason to keep going. Things literally just fall on my lap or slap me in the face. Even when I've given up hope on things.... they come back with great surprises sometimes.
I can't wait to see what these changes will bring. But I can feel that it's closer to my dream of getting myself and make it shatter studios out there. Even if the glass has to take a back seat again, just as it thought it was up next..... its okay. It'll be okay. .... I hope....
These 2 I swear..... midnight bug hunting.

New hair who dis??? Thank you Sue for knowing what I wanted even with all my crazy photos πππ
"Well I guess I'm giving up again. I guess it's fair. I guess it's fair... I just don't care....."
I give up. I'm done trying. Every time I get a shred of hope I get knocked down farther than I was before. There's no point to continue the insanity. This just wasn't meant to be.
There's been so much going on lately. My mind has been everywhere. But today my sister and I have a morning // afternoon set aside to go over my goals. What I want to do. And how exactly I can achieve it.
The current of life has held me under the riptides for too long. I need to stop fighting it. Let Go. Breathe. Reset. And trust the current will lead me to where I belong.
I hope this Postcard from Spirit pull for the day touches you too. Remember to breathe and take a step back. Your spirit guides are there. They're trying to help. We got this! The universe is on our side if we trust.
Happy Father's Day!!!!! Happy Juneteeth!!!
Reposting my photo from Monday that I took down when I was down.... thats all.
