[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.

Best wishes, vw. I hope this difficult time ends soon.

{{{{{{{{{{{vw}}}}}}}}}}} I'm so sorry. I hope you start feeling better much quicker than your doctor predicts.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Nap sounds like an excellent place to begin, vw. Rest and get better.

Ann, that's a ferret.

((((vw))))

A nap certainly won't hurt. Especially as late as you were up last night.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

{{{vw}}} I hope you start feeling better fast. Steroids make you retain water, so I suspect some of that weight will go away soon.

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to listen to them on this one.

I've never been able to rest as much as doctors have recommended. I suspect all those doctors had someone else doing the laundry and buying the groceries.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Ginger - sometimes I don't know what doc's are thinking. My mom started home dialysis a month or so ago. Recently she has been showing me how to set-up the stuff. Those bags of solution are heavy! For someone who is ill and weak, that is quite a job to do each night. But they just ship the supplies weekly and expect her to be able to handle it all by herself. My mom is stubborn (duh) and still doing fairly well most days, but not all dialysis patients are. Just boggle.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

vw, I know it's frustrating as hell, and it sucks, and the universe has dealt you WAY more than your fair share of crappy situations in a short amount of time, but -- your health is *so* much more important than making it to work, or even school. If you have to drop another class, the world won't end. I promise. But if you push and push and push yourself to maintain a regular schedule even though your body is saying "Erm, excuse me....pardon me....HEY!!!! CUT ME SOME SLACK!!!!", you could end up even sicker.

Take care of your health, honey. The rest will work itself out.

What Teppy said.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I'm sure Teppy's right, but I couldn't advise it without being a terrible hypocrite, because I am the poster child for not doing what the doctor said. Of course, I had a double mastectomy in the morning and went home that afternoon, so vw probably should listen to saner people.
