Happy news!
Nilly gave birth to her baby girl this morning (it's afternoon now in Israel). All are well, and very happy. That's all I have for now.

Request for Emergency ~ma. My BFF's husband just got rushed into surgery for a brain bleed. It was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago, and the Drs were convinced it would just reabsorb on its own, but he's been having worse and worse pain, so I guess they've decided to take action. Please send safe surgery~ma for B, and calm and strength to K while she waits.

SFistas (Lee in particular), I was wrong about the date of my friend's popup restaurant. It's MARCH 27, not February. So, you have time to get a group together.

I need ~ma for an individual I work with. I'll be attending a meeting with him, and I have reason to believe that I will need to advocate for him, as strongly as I can.

I have been prescribed Tramadol. So far it is controlling the pain, so now to find out if it controls the pain well enough to let me type more than ten minutes at a time.
Doctor has ordered MRI. His best guess as to cause: degenerating discs pressing on a nerve, which previously caused problems in my arm and wrist. Confirming evidence. He did the rubber mallet test and says I have the reflexes of a dead man.
