@an-leavy.bsky.social checking on you. Hope all is ok, you’ve been missing from here for a while.

Oh Jo. Hugs for you, Shayne, Abla, and Wally. You are making the kindest decision, but absolutely heartbreaking.

Knowing how hard my gynae, another Epworth endo specialist, fought to keep my ovaries, even the tiniest bits that were left after multiple endometriomas, I'm astonished that they'd be removed at 25. Mine are gone now, thanks to the heightened risk that endo + family history bring of ovarian cancer.

I worry with reporting of cases like this that women in my situation will continue to be dismissed. Endo is a bastard of a disease. I had hope that things had improved from the 90’s & β€˜00 when my first 3 ops were done. I know I was lucky to find someone who listened. A breach in trust is devastating

This has rattled me, after multiple endo surgeries & finally a hysterectomy last year. Trust in your specialist is so critical.
Negative histology on my first 2 surgeries, yet symptoms remained. 3rd found invasive endo buried in my pelvic wall. 10 years to find what was always there. Damage done.

I hope the anaesthesia induced dreams are filled with birds and auroras, and the post op pain management is brilliant. Go well, Sandy.

"Findings suggest that masked and unmasked static faces equally attract newborns' attention and that surgical masks do not disrupt their face configuration processing. It has implications for recommendations to the general public, especially individuals in contact with newborns"

Finished watching it a week ago. I don’t know why it took me so long to discover it. It was brilliant.

Farah escaped turmoil in Iran. Now her work carries Melbourne every day From wear and tear to fresh starts, Melbourne tram seats carry an untold story about work, opportunity and belonging in the city.

This is a great initiative.

Three hours in - hoping your mum is doing ok, and you’ve managed to get some moments of rest.

Snapshot of an X post from @VicEmergency. 

"If you see +61 444 444 444 pop up on your phone, it's important you do not block it.   

This phone number is linked to Emergency Alert which emergency services use to warn people in a defined area about current emergencies."

This message is followed by a visualisation of a phone with an emergency alert pop-up on screen, reading "+61 444 444 444 Just Now. Bushfire Emergency Warning from CFA - People in XXX should EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY." 

The caption of the image has a phone icon and the message "Don't Block +61 444 444 444 It's an Emergency Alert"
