Tim's follow-up post-treatment PET scan is tomorrow morning. Fortunately we don't have to wait long for the results, because he has an appointment with the oncologists tomorrow afternoon to go over the results. Please send all the good vibes his way. And all the fuck-you-cancer vibes, too.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Compassionately intolerant
It's been so long, but I think about all of you all the time.
I'm dipping in with a ~ma request for Cagney. He is in hospital and, well...
I will no let him suffer like Bartleby did. While I am hoping for more time, I will not be greedy for one more day that he cannot give me without pain.
Please. Just gentle, right outcomes, whatever our fate.
In two months, it will have been 14 years. A triumph no matter what.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Trudy's mommy, Ruth, passed away surrounded by her family yesterday. Services will be held on Saturday.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Hello all, I know it has been a long time, but this is the first place I thought of. My mother passed away sometime between Saturday night when I spoke to her (more chipper than usual) and Monday morning when my uncle showed up for his weekly help her do stuff day. My poor uncle. He is very stoic, but he shared that when he called 911 he forgot his own phone number She always said that she wanted to die before she knew what was wrong with her, so it is ironic that she had a bunch of diagnostic doctor’s stuff scheduled for Wednesday. What is less great is that since she was completely secretive about everything, everything is a wild goose chase. So anyway, when I am in crisis, ai still think Buffistas, but I am not sharing widely on Facebook yet.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Mr. S is no longer living with us. I would rather not divulge the details of what led to this decision here. I don't know how long this will be, but it is supposed to be temporary.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
I am safely home from the hospital. I am probably scheduled for follow-up vascular surgery to correct a carotid artery blockage the week of BayCon, my home convention; we'll see what that does to my ability to attend. Thinking of all y'all with love and solidarity in any case.
MRI showed what they called a "mini-stroke": left forearm and hand are affected but my right arm and both legs are ok.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Hello all. I have not been feeling well since my mother passed away, but they were vague symptoms I attributed to stress. Wednesday I experience severe leg swelling and went to the ED. While I was there, they discovered a gigantic (probably cancerous) mass in my lower abdomen that was causing the leg swelling and subsequent deep vein thrombosis. No biopsy yet, that will be Monday. I am on heparin to this my blood to break up the clots, but basically the blood is just stuck in my leg until they remove the thing sitting on the veins, but I still have a good pulse in my foot. This is going to be approximately ten million dollars! I will be here for at least seven days, probably more. At least I will reach my deductible. Go probable stage III ovarian cancer!
