Prayer request

My husband has a tumor in his face. About 10 years ago it was discovered that he had a cyst in the roof of his mouth. He had oral surgery and a biopsy then and was told it was benign and shouldn't come back.

It's back, and it's bigger this time and now he's going to be sent to a facial surgeon. It's pressing against all 6 of his front top teeth. Furthermore, he's known about it for 7 months but didn't want to deal with it because it 'wasn't hurting him". He's a type 1 juvenile diabetic and a cancer survivor (2017, testicular) who has to inject himself multiple times daily and been through chemo and I think he's just tired of doctors.

Please pray that it's not cancer, and that it can be removed and the nearby teeth can be saved.

Thank you for the prayers!! Update: The surgeon is very confident it's something called a duct cyst, which is always benign. He shouldn't lose any teeth, may have to have a root canal (or 2), though if any of the roots are damaged. Didn't seem too worried about that, which made us feel a lot better. Surgery is in about 2 weeks, but he'll have to be fasting, which is tough on a diabetic. Please pray that he is able to fast for the 6 hours previous and for the surgery to go smoothly.

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)

oh, Sisyphus! i got you

Tumblr will really take an established concept like “exercise is good for your health” and make it into some dumb shit called body maintenance.

i hate to say it but. the healthy eating people are kinda onto something. if you can figure out a way to get all your greens and proteins and fiber in ways that taste good to you you start to prefer the healthy option over junk food 7/10 times

to be clear rice-heavy stirfry with a lot of soy sauce and whatever freezer veggies you can toss in count as healthy. bread with butter and jam, with eggs, is healthy. frying your veggies in butter and oil is healthy. eating until you are full is wayyyy healthier than counting calories. dieting is a fucking scam, the true way to eat better is to just balance the kinds of food you eat and try not to eat a bag of chips and one (1) mandarin orange for dinner too many nights in a row

My friend sometimes brings her six-year-old to our DnD sessions and my husband (the DM) lets her roll for all enemy attacks and sometimes he will show her a few figures and let her secretly pick what creature we meet next. Who needs encounter tables when you have a first-grader around

She cheers when the monster is winning.

DM: *places an ugly, slavering, repugnant, spine-tingling creature on the battle map*
