    Queen Of The Cranky Arses
    Jun 26 2024
    A snapshot of the difficulties of disability bias disease bias gender bias in a day-to-day out in the world kind of a way. Plus a little about the ombudsman. I'll do a whole episode about that at some point I'm not sure if you really be able to see it but it took a screenshot of a thank you letter I sent out to donators. It really sums up that prospective I talk about in the podcast, the counterweight of gratitude and purpose. I'm not sure if you'll be able to see it well so maybe in the next GoFundMe update I'll post it there as well Gfm https://gofund.me/cff39173 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/i-am-madeline/message

    Infection Red Alert + my eyes are full of blossoms
    Apr 29 2024
    Quickie update about the very dangerous cellulitis infection that's making my bad situation worse. Doing my best to keep my head up and keep my sense of humor afloat. Not sure if I should post a picture of it cuz it's really yucky so I don't know... Blech. Instead I'll post a picture of the blossoms that are helping me navigate the panic that's curling around the edges of my thoughts. I know exactly how bad infections can get in my broken immune system --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/i-am-madeline/message

  • New Year; Renewed Battle!

    New Year; Renewed Battle!
    Jan 4 2024
    In which I talk about how I navigated the holiday season and the advocacy and healthcare battles I'm facing in the next couple of months. I do also finally talk about the nightmare suite inspection and of course that they are coming back in March even though I did everything they asked me to do. Let's just say I have thoughts and feelings about that🤨🫤. I also talk about how that inspection has participated mass hair loss to the tune of half of my hair and counting. That's got my nurse practitioner worried, and me too! It's an indicator that my body is struggling so much that it's deprioritized energy to hair all over my body. This happened once before and precipitated my avalanche deterioration so I'm scared For anyone looking for the link to share here once again is the GoFundMe https://gofund.me/cff39173 and the ricochet article https://ricochet.media/en/3991/Canada-MAID-policy-death-by-poverty along with the tweet thread that the journalist did so you can share it on Canadian social media https://twitter.com/SpichakSimon/status/1707785829433618864?t=RowAITYe-W17QLiZRGTNMQ&s=19 plus the YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@IamMadelinePod?feature=shared as I do now have some episodes recently created The photo is of a Christmas present, a 3D printed miniature of the Moon that lights up. It makes me nerd girl happy🤓👩‍🏫. It was hard to take a picture of so I cradled it in my lap that's why it looks like a new moon --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/i-am-madeline/message
