So, as of Sunday evening, I found myself bleeding again. If, somehow, you're not aware, I have Ulcertive Colitis, which means that when I start bleeding, it's a very unpleasant thing. You can look up the wheres and hows and whys on your own. Wikipedia exists, dammit ( Read more... )

First of all, I'm feeling much better from yesterday. I greatly appreciated all the words of support and understanding from you guys. Seriously, thank you ( Read more... )

First of all, this in no way changes any of my previous entry about the way the article was framed, especially in regards to the victim-blaming that I still feel was very prevalent in the NY Times article.
