Dark for the next week while a new machine's put together for me; profile address is good if needed.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Your name is being called by sacred things that are not addressed, nor listened to. Sometimes they blow trumpets.
After four and a half months of rather depressing job hunting, I have a gig! A real paying job! It's just a cafe position at the local Borders books, but it will pay the impending bills, and while exahusting, it's a lot of fun.
Then again, I may just be so tired because it was my first day today...
Yay for employment!

I know I haven't been around much, work has been crazy. But I thought you should know that I am having surgery today. I have a VERY LARGE (8.5 cm) ovarian cyst, and my doctor is very anxious for it to be taken out. I'm ok with that, as it has been causing me a great deal of pain. I won't know until my consult with the surgeon this morning whether it will be taken out the easy way or the hard way. The easy way is with laproscopy, which involves only a small incision and is an outpatient procedure. The hard way involves slicing my whole abdomen open and rooting around in there by hand. There is, obviously, a large difference in recovery time. Think healing thoughts for me- I've never had surgery before and I'm nervous. Buffistas wishing to check up on me should speak with Sumiko, as I am forwarding her my contact information. Hopefully I'll be back online very soon!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
For CV -- I had one done the hard way when I was 15. Mine was 10.5cm. Email me if you have any questions.

Didn't your mom sell you to that carnival?
I just got off the phone with CV. She says that the surgery went okay, they were able to save one of her ovaries, which she is happy about. She had an allergic reaction to the morphine, but that's been straightened out since. She's recovering at home and should be back on her feet (and keyboard) soon.

Question for Darth on Cv (stompy foot - please delete if I am misusing this thread)... When can she expect biopsy results? Does she know if the cyst was benign?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
just spoke with my MIL -- she is feeling stronger today because they have changed how they are feeding her. She is grumpy impatient , yet very determined. She sounds a lot like herself. She has plans. so while things are pretty much awful for her, I feel hope.

Art Crawl!!!
I just got off the phone w/CV. She's at home - - (she actually went back to the er last night) - - resting -- being waited on hand and foot.
The biopsy is more because it is regular procedure. The doctor told her that he doesn't expect to find anything.
Also - - she did not lose an ovary. (I was a bit confused yesterday - - and thought that she had).
So, whew!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
There was a campus wide power outtage last night. We were evacuated from our dorm for about an hour, but then let back in the door, despite the freakishly loud exhaust-spewing generator that freaked some people out.
The whole thing lasted about three hours, and everyone's okay. Just in case you were wondering where I went so abruptly last night.
