@Thomas_Tracey Thanks for your friendship with her. She was a witty, kind and loving person. We will truly miss her.

@txgowan Megan passed away today from cancer. Thanks to you all for being there for her when she needed it. We’re all going to miss her

[Vixoen 🦋 @Vixoen]

Sorry to take so long to report back everything’s okay. More tomorrow!

[Vixoen 🦋 @Vixoen]

@txgowan Thank you all for your friendship with Megan thru the years.

[Vixoen 🦋 @Vixoen]

@txgowan FYI. This is Megan’s mom. She’s nearing the end of her life. She’s on sedation now and in the hospital getting good care. She’s in no pain

Spent the last two days at one of my favorite cousins’ houses watching Workin’ Moms eating barbecue, tacos, and Vietnamese. Ultimate party weekend, fortysomething style

I’m finally back at the lake after two weeks away. It’s like I can breathe again. —twirls merrily with new walker—

The radiation team loved me so much that they gave me a certificate of completion with gold star stickers on it. Because you are never EVER too old for stickers.

Don't forget Mother's Day is coming up soon! Shop at @Etsy instead of the grocery store and support independent artists. Their cards are funnier anyway.

[Vixoen 🦋 @Vixoen]

Want a reality check? My father just wiped my ass for me because I can’t do it myself. How do you find a Father’s Day card for THAT?

[Vixoen 🦋 @Vixoen]

Home from the hospital! Mom and Dad sprung me Ocean’s Eleven style. No one ever suspects old people.

[Vixoen 🦋 @Vixoen]

My oncologist pointed out that now is the time when many patients turn to hospice because their body can’t keep up with treatment anymore. Great positive attitude, #debbiedownertothemax

[Vixoen 🦋 @Vixoen]

I can walk!! I’m not fully mobile but I can get my ass to the shower and back. The nurses high fived and hugged me 💕 Cheers for radiation, voodoo, meds, who the fuck knows.

[Vixoen 🦋 @Vixoen]

The people at the radiation clinic let me pick the music and they all cheered when I said “early 2000s R&B.” There may have been singing along and dancing involved.

[Vixoen 🦋 @Vixoen]

Today was day two of radiation to try to reverse paralysis in my legs. Currently I can stand but not walk, which means I’m using a catheter and bedside commode. Things are getting serious, my lovelies.

[Vixoen 🦋 @Vixoen]

They had to take out my clitoral hood piercing for an MRI. My nurse and I were giggling as she played with the fancy pliers to take out my 20 year old favorite piercing. Sigh, #goodtimes

[Vixoen 🦋 @Vixoen]

I’m at the hospital for the fourth time because my legs hurt and I can’t stand up on my own. I’m terrified to find out what this means for me.

[Vixoen 🦋 @Vixoen]

It’s nice to know that in the span of ten minutes I can still go from hunky dory to bitchy, a la 1985. I even stomped off to my room in a huff. —eyeroll—

[Vixoen 🦋 @Vixoen]

I’ll give you this for being on oxygen: I do a lot more twirling every day now that I often get caught up in the oxygen tubing.
