I went to grippy sock jail and there were no grippy socks, 3/10 wouldn't do again. One of the nurses was trans and she was the only person there who didn't make me feel judged or crowded, everything else was god awful.

Doing okay now, things aren't stable yet but I'm working hard on fixing everything.

Congrats on doing okay now :)

Shame about the lack of socks, i hear they sell them elsewhere tho if you want the novelty (and I think some have paw pads instead of just generic rubbery grid!)

Oh haha, I didn't really care that much about the socks but paw pads? Now we're talking!
