Where do I go from here?

I had a clean endoscopy and colonoscopy (so much relief knowing that)

But I only poop weekly. And now I am in a flare. Gut rot, gas, horrible pain under my left rib cage, trapped gas, nausea. And I just started getting muscle spasms in this flare. Just annoying.

I've been having these symptoms for 12 years. Over the course of a week, I developed an absolutely WRETCHED pain under my left rib cage. And its been hell ever since.

My symptoms are absolutely triggered by my endometriosis, as when I had my first excision surgery, I had almost 5 years without the pain. My symptoms are not made better or worse with anything. Especially during a flare. Eat, dont eat, i feel miserable anyways.

My gut is just a mess. I constantly have my fist in my side because of the pain. Its stuck gas. I have to sleep on my stomach. I can't pass gas. Either way.

Ive tried raglan and loathed it. Ive tried other gut stimulants and I hated them.

I had shots in my side to relax the muscles (?) They never worked

I go to the doctor tomorrow and I just don't know what to do.

I'm weight restored in that SOLID way. Ive been couchbound for 3 years and haven't gained or lost weight. Im most amazed by that. Still odd. But man am I stable.

If you don't like it, you can set it on fire and throw it off the balcony

I'm in the beginning of my pet urn business. I couldn't pass on the opportunity to make this iconic chair.

I had to wing it with the colors. I had to create my own fabric too.

Based on hourly wage, this absolutely would be the most expensive furniture in the house 🤣🤣

How are we managing our anxiety over our poodle's skin "things"

I have this obsession with checking through his hair. I'm afraid to keep him longer because then I miss things like this.

I have absolutely no idea what they are. I found a dead tick near the bottom one. He wears a Seresto collar for flea/tick

Now I want to shave him bald to see what else is going on. I dont like these wounds. They've been cleaned and wrapped. Can't get him in to the vet this week.

Im so nervous about missing a melanoma or something. Finding a skin thing on a smooth dog is so much easier.

I sculpt. But I came here for you and your expertise

I'm losing my mind.

Under my clay is a wire armature. I'm trying to standardize my process a bit because I'm just trying to make a box with a lid (i make urns)

I've finally started measuring my wire which is great. But ONE 3"x4" rectangle took me over AN HOUR.

It seems like it should be easy to make an armature for a box. Two rectangles joined at 4 corners.

I'm now working with an 18 gauge wire. But if I work it too much, it snaps. Turns out. But I take two lengths of wire and work my butt off twisting them together. Then I am wrapping it around my makeshift..."jig". Then I just bend the corners to make them sharp 90*. But I have to join ends together at some point and thats the point where my soul leaves my body

I've tried making an armature out of one piece of twisted wire but..the urn is all sorts of measurements. I also try not to put the joining points right on the corner. Because I can't get that angle right.

I am here before I even try to join my rectangles together. Its going to take me all night 😭
