I'm skipping over 400 posts. Hec, I read comments about Emmett in Natter, and then threadsucked, here. Oh my word, the poor guy. Have you had any luck scheduling something for tomorrow? Are they giving him any pain meds (or a tranquilizer that acts on nerve endings)?
Angel's lame. His hair goes straight up, and he's bloody stupid!

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.

He's with JZ and EM at the doctor. He just got an ultrasound and the doctor will be reviewing it and talking to them within the half hour.
I don't know yet what they'll find, if anything. But I hope it's nothing.
He came home last night and was so sore and wincing when he moved in certain directions. Poor kid.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Poor Emmett. Much ~ma to him.

I'm kind of wondering if he's got something like a hernia.

Poor baby. It kind of sounds like it, but it seems to me like they would have checked him for that manually when they tested his testicular reflex. Maybe a pinched nerve?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
What's a way to say "socially liberal" without using the word "liberal"?
Compassionate? Humble? A believer in "let he who is without sin cast the first stone"?
Or you could just say "socially speaking, I'm Canadian".

That's the original theory. But I think it would've responded to the anti-inflammatories by now. But I don't really know.

Heh.
I ended up taking amych's advice and used Megan's terminology to rephrase the sentence. Hopefully that will be clear and religiously correct.

I have a pinched nerve in my neck. Sometimes anti-inflammatories help. Sometimes they don't.
It acted up within the past month (or so) and the anti-inflammatories weren't doing anything. I took an Ativan, because I remembered that when my mother had Shingles, the doctor told her to take Ativan, because it acts on the nerve endings. Long story short, I woke up a new woman. That's why I wondered if they could give him some mild sedative or something. That's got to be a traumatic pain for any guy, but particularly a young guy like Emmett.

Well, he was crying from school this morning, but last night he was mostly discomfited. He deals with pain pretty well. At least that's what I recall from him breaking his nose. He doesn't deal with anticipating pain though. I have a hard time even ripping an old band-aid off him.
