It is probbably better that you wait until tomorrow. 'cause today someone might die.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What is even happening?
beth, when all that adrenaline (can't spell that right now) gets pumping, and then the crisis is over, my righteous anger is mostly spent. I'm so grateful he's okay, I couldn't ream them, today. It's like I crashed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My first drink they brought me after my tonsilectomy was Grapefruit juice. Thank goodness I was a teenager, and knew that much acid was not going to feel good on an open wound. The nurse was all, "Well, you have to drink something," and I said, "Yeah, but not anything acidic." She said I'd get sicker if I got dehydrated.
Did they not have WATER in this hospital? Or hell, apple juice?
I was 8 and drugged to the gills the first time I remember correcting a doctor. A few days after my kidney surgery, one of the tubes was ready to come out, and if I hadn't been stopped them, they would have pulled out the wrong one. I mean, I know surgeons don't get a lot of sleep, but come on. I was eight. (Granted, I started earning my geek stripes early, as my favorite book at that age was The Magic Anatomy Book, but still. Eight.)

Ah, stories of correcting doctors. Such as when I had to tell a doctor that the x-ray he was showing me was not of my husband's kidneys. "But it has his name on it." "But it shows a gall bladder. My husband doesn't have a gall bladder." "Are you sure?" "Note the very large scar on his stomach." Doctor pauses: "Boy, whoever this x-ray is of is having a bad day, too."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Oh, Cindy! I hope it was his staff, so you don't have to find a new doctor. How scary, and how rage-making!

Mostly lurking...
vw, how is Toto doing?
I think he's doing better. We're going to finish this course of antibiotics and see if it seems to stick.

If I only had a brain...
Cindy, I wanna kill your doctor's office staff.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm on my sister's craptastic dial up but I wanted to pop in and say hello. The kid is currently chasing my sister's two cats around the living room.
I'll mostly likely be dark from now till Thursday, at least.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Now I need to see Primer again.I'm still getting past seeing it the first time. I liked it, it was just not what I expected. Queues should have a place for you to take notes when you put movies there, otherwise I end up getting something in the mail and just looking at it with a, "The hell?" expression for a while.
I always put the "who is okay" thing at the beginning, because when I read people's stress stories, my heart is in my throat.It is a good and right thing to do.
I have achieved lunch. It's not quite the progress I was planning to have by now but I have lunch and it's a start.
