FYI: My username is nowmaddythebaddee... But im really a good girl. Im too old to be "bad" anymore... :)

**UPDATE** On 9/17, I collapsed in my apartment at 0315 in the morning. I felt an intolerable pain going up the right side of my body and was having a difficult time breathing. I was immobilized for about 5 minutes but was finally able to pull myself up off of the floor onto the edge of my bed. I considered very seriously calling EMS/ 911.. The symptoms began lessening to a small degree. I googled the symptoms... I believed that I was experiencing appendicitis. So, instead of calling the ambulance, I decided to drive myself...(Im a very stubborn old broad..)

I arrived to Saint Mark's Hospital in Murray Utah, About 5 miles from my residence. The Doctors and Nurses there did not mess around. (Total rock stars) I was admitted almost immediately and tests were began. The test that likely saved my life that night was the CT scan.. It identified a very sizeable blood clot that had gotten lodged in my lungs. This is known as a Pulmonary embolism and is no joking matter. Had this nasty thing made it to my brain: Stroke or death. Had it made it to my heart: Death. Left unchecked in my lungs: Death.

So.. in a nutshell... I am very fortunate to be alive today. A huge THANK YOU to all the staff, Nurses and Doctors at St Mark's Hospital for saving my life. :)

Hello friends! My name is Madeleine. Some folks call me Maddy for short. I'm a pretty easy going person. I am currently transitioning from male to female. Iv'e only been in transition since March of 2022 so I am definitely a work in progress. I feel that transgender women are the most beautiful creatures to ever grace this planet with their brave and determined presence. I wish more than anything that I could find one that accepted me and loved me.... Perhaps some day, right?

Also, my photographs are very amateur but 100% unfiltered. 100% unedited and 100% ME. Just like me IRL... What you see is what you get. So, If you happened upon my humble Flickr collection, I hope that you enjoy my photographs and the odd, quirky sense of humor which they embody.

Enjoy the show!
