Once again I'm using b.org for my venting cause work is not the place to vent and I have to "be strong" for my family.
You vent here all you want. It's more than fine.
Maybe she *shouldn't* be on the pump now, but if she's still in that much pain, the doctors should think of other options. Older patients take longer to recuperate anyway. Poor Suzi's mom.
Also? Crap veins are so hard. My mom has the same problem. So do I, for whatever reason. I mean, I'm young, fairly healthy, and no one can ever get an IV into me without three or four tries. I went into gall bladder surgery stone cold sober because the nurse had to stop at three sticks, and then the anesthesiologist was like, "What's with you? You have no blood!" Before he pumped me full of Valium, of course.
Suzi, if you can't vent here, then neither can we. And damn if I'ma give up a venting space. So you go right ahead and vent all ya want. Plus we care about what is going on in your life, so we want to hear it.
Suzi, PLEASE feel free to vent.
This is hard for you, and having to be the strong one sucks.

(Oh, Phyllis Hyman, why'd your demons have to win? Such a loss.)
Really, just fill him up with Duke Ellington
Thanks, Plei. Those look good. I could recommend old movies with music, but I just couldn't think of what he wanted. I can't believe I didn't think of Duke Ellington.
Hec, if'n you're in the mood to answer a musical question, Nick has been interested in some music with a jazzy sound ala the demon in OMWF. He wants to find something similar to soak his brain in, but has had difficulty finding quite the right sound. The closest thing I can come to it is the soundtrack to Chicago. Any suggestions you'd like to impart?
As Ple notes, Duke Ellington is a great place to start with that. I think Ella is the best with the uptempo stuff, so probably try her Duke Ellington Songbook. (Though any of her records in the songbook series are pretty fuckin' fab. See also Johnny Mercer.)
I also love Anita O'Day with the uptempo stuff. So something like Anita O'Day Sings the Winners is great.
Also, if he likes the free music, give him the key to Buffistarawk and he can grab all the jazz vocals I posted there for Fay. Under Jazzy Fay.
Great links, Ple!
Great links, Ple!

As Hec notes, you can't go wrong with Ella.
Alrighty. Bassinet is up.
Now the carseat with Extra Special Floppy Headed Teeny Baby Insert.
Emmett just got promoted to riding in the front passenger seat, I think.
{{{Suzi}}} Many good thoughts to your mom (and to you, sweetie).
David's brain, you'll be sorry. That's all I'm saying.
Oh, Chi, I wish your mom strength and peace on this, and that your dad will be accepting. It's a horrible situation for all of you to be in, and I hope your mom knows that she is not doing wrong.
