+## The Scene
+{{< back_to_top >}}
+
+Two disabled humans discussing surgery and medical test preparation procedures that can cause great harm. They have been comparing notes and cross referencing useful tricks for improving pre and post procedure outcomes.

+
+## An Anecdote
+{{< back_to_top >}}
+
+...
+
+Like, when I had my tubes tied 10yra ago that "minor" surgery wrecked me.
+
+In hindsight I would have said, I can't do no eating/drinking 12hrs before because my body doesn't hold water well. I went into the surgery already dehydrated, and afterwards couldn't stop barfing because morphine, and they wouldn't let me go until I peed, but of course I couldn't pee because I was dehydrated af.
+
+So next time: I will fast but not stop fluida until 1hr before (or whatever is actually necessary for me not to risk puking and choking). I would tell them, no opiates so come up with a different pain plan, and I would say leave the IV running until I feel ok to eat/drink (they turn it of in recovery so they know you are taking in enough fluids).
+
+...
+
+{{< end_section >}}
+
+## Reflection(s)
+{{< back_to_top >}}
+
+Anyway big meander to say, it might be worthwhile to talk about what you "really" need to do for this, and what else might be done to make it less grueling.
+
+It would make the whole procedure less ruinous for your already stressed body, it would make you feel more in control and safe, and thus would hopefully dial down the triggery nature of another medical procedure.

Consider `Pull Requests` a convenience that could go away in the future due to their inherent complexity.

-{{< back_to_top >}}
+## Anecdotes
 
-#### FAQ
+You **must** only apply the `anecdote` tag and category to anecdote pages. These pages are personal accounts of living with disability and can be very triggering for readers.
+
+We have setup the site to include a warning at the top of all anecdote pages and it *requires* the `anecdote` category be applied to these pages.
+
+Submissions not tagging or categorizing anecdotes properly will *not* be approved for inclusion on this site.
+
+### FAQ
 
 For the `FAQ` section of the site we ask that you *only tag* entries with the `faq` tag. This allows the FAQ pages to be related to each other but still remain independent of the main site content. Adding additional tags will tie the FAQ pages into other content which is exactly what we want to avoid.
 
-#### News 
+### News
 
 For the `News` section of the site we ask that you do **NOT** tag entries. The news pages are meant to be minimal and kept independent of the main site information. Adding a tag will tie the news pages into other content which is exactly what we want to avoid.
