Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That takes away the sensation--does it take away mobility? I'm thinking they can't do that to me, although they won't allow me to drive myself home.

Mine did take away mobility. Although, I have heard of a "walking epdural" (I think Plei had one). But I remember once they stopped the flow of medicine into my spine, the mobility came back pretty quickly.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

When the Maoris arrived in New Zealand, there was an eagle living there (Haast's eagle) which was big enough to hunt children, and quite possibly adults too.
I get asked for ID all the time. In fact, there are certain stores here, Hustler, for example, where the store policy is ID must be shown with every credit card purchase.
My visit to the Hustler superstore with ND and DebetEsse is my favourite LA story.
