Note from me: I was initially suspicious about this, since the notice below doesn't say how much of one's V-gift donation actually goes to Planned Parenthood. But I found the answer in the original post's comments: 100%. All the money you spend to shower your friends with Planned Parenthood v-gifts will go to Planned Parenthood.

For those of you who don't approve of Planned Parenthood, your response is easy: Don't buy one of these. None of your LJ subscription money goes to PP. If you'd rather donate an equivalent amount to an adoption charity, or another organization providing inexpensive or free medical assistance, please do; all charity organizations are hurting for funds in this economy.

Join us in standing up for reproductive health and education. Planned Parenthood, the organization that delivers reproductive health care, sex education and information to millions of people worldwide, has come under fire in the U.S. lately, with many politicians on both state and federal level seeking to end funding (and in a few cases succeeding).

During the month of May, you can send a specially designed Planned Parenthood vgift to your friends to help support this cause. (And if you need someone to send it to, [info]frank is always happy to receive gifts!) There are three variations ($1, $5 and $10) for you to choose from, but they'd all look good on your profile when your friends know that you stand by something so important.

Well, the bandages came off two weeks ago, but a week of compression socks abraded the new skin into more sores, so they put the bandages back on. Two steps forward, one step back - but a baby step, when all is said and done, and much dried dead skin was taken off.

...although some days, it would no doubt be less painful...

On "aggressive" medication for getting rid of my liquid retention.

On medication to lower my cholestoral

On medication to lower my blood pressure.

I see the docs at least once a week, and each time they draw blood.

next - some of the edema wounds on my legs are becoming infected, so they're sending me to the Wound Clinic for that, so that down the road I don't lose the legs...

To all of you who've been waiting on me for various and sundry fan-oriented things; been really sick with a bad cold and congested lungs, which wouldn't go away. Apparently its being caused by a serious heart condition, just now revealed by tests.

So... medication, working from home, and lifestyle changes are kind of consuming my time at the moment. Hopefully a little order will return from Chaos in a few weeks.

This little vid - by a brilliant fellow - reminded me soooo much of my friend's myriad gnome characters...
