Oh, Beej! How scary. I hope he's okay. A good dose of calm to you, too.
vw, you sound so cozy. I'm glad you talked to your dad, too. Also? Hil is wise.
Hil, what's EDS?
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[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.

Hmm. OK. So seems like the scarred knees are a bit weird, then. Both knees have red, raised, bumpy scars from skinned knees 10-20 years ago. (I've been reading an EDS message board, where they're talking about that Primetime Live program that focused on EDS. Seems like a lot of people are upset that they made it seem more like "circus freak syndrome" rather than focusing on more of the medical issues. I can kind of see both sides -- it's good that it's getting some media attention, but maybe not so good that people will now associate it with that guy with clothespins on his face.)

Oh, beej! That's terrifying. Toto and I are sending lots of good thoughts and ~ma.
Also? Hil is wise.
Hil is very wise, and I'm taking her advice. I'm curled up on the couch embroidering the label for the Quilt Pink! quilt. It's turning out great. I should have it done in a couple hours and will share pictures. I'm really pleased with how it's coming together.

ION, VM fans, was this week's episode worth downloading from iTunes?

vw, I think you can get it free somewhere. Maybe on the CW website. Supper is home, so I can't check now, but maybe P-C will wander by and fill you in.
I think it was worth buying if you can't get it free.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am totally resisting that game, Lee. I just don't have time to recruit, so I'd just time out anyway.

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. The cause of my shoulder and knee problems and mitral valve prolapse. [link]

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
So I have a hair appointment tomorrow, and have decisions to make.
Question a) Keep the hair long, or chop it all off?
Question b) keep it dark brown with some red, or go back to red/auburn?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I could self-diagnose myself into that hypermobility category, but unless it comes with a cure for the bruising and joint aching, I'm not going to. I've made peace with the scars, and I love the preternaturally soft skin anyway.
Is the stretching in the first picture here abnormal?
