Natter 53: We could just avoid making tortured puns

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The hospital won't allow me to get a DNR for her. Legal or not?

FWIW, the PICU chief here (I was very vague about specifics) called bullshit on this. He said that if the mom judges this to be the best course, her judgment has to be given tremendous weight. Either the hospital should agree, or the neonatology attending should schedule a meeting with her and at least one MD or nurse from every service that's consulting on the baby, to sit down and all talk together about this decision and why they do or don't think it's the right decision at this time. But simply refusing or telling mom she "can't do that" is in his opinion possibly legal but definitely bullshit.

I'm so sorry you and your beloveds are going through this awful wringer.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I don't know about the legality but I hope they took it seriously and provided some real information about why they couldn't do it, instead of brushing off what is a very important request. Call the most important person there that you can get a hold of if they did that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Random question of the day-- does anyone know how to type an Umlaut on LJ?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Same way you would any special character in HTML, I think.

Sorry.

Kat. I am beyond sorry for all the stress and non-cooperativeness you are experiencing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Kat, I'm so sorry all this is happening. I wish the best resolution possible, for all of you, soonest.

My foot-surgery ~ma is strong, so I send some to mac.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have more than those.

It's weird. Work is clicking. It's amazing how much easier it is to remember stuff when you know stuff. Part of me thinks that's counterintuitive, but really I know enough that I can file, with context, and without context I am nothing.

I kinda envy people who file without context. My sister's good for that. She's the sort that noticed Wesley Snipes was in the Michael Jackson video before he'd done anything else. Why would I file that where I could bring it up again? She weird.

Okay, the cold is making me cringe is making me headachey. Must go.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Hospital~ma. I hope it's all just a big adventure.

Give mac a hug from me. And tell him to give you a hug from me. Or get a more cooperative adult. Even with all the prepping, it's gotta be scary for the two of you.

I hope it goes as smoothly as possible and mac is macish soon after.
