Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

He wants sons he can transfer his consciousness into, and I want an army of daughters that look like me but taller to pillage and plunder the world in their mama's name.
Sounds like with the right lab you could both be satisfied.
It's possible I read too much science fiction.

Punishingly Intricate
Breaking my finger wasn't really painful (until after, as it recovered...but even then it wasn't bad) but seeing the weird way it was bent made me woozy.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Pain. O ya. Been there, done that. Still get it. Ick. Worst pain, by far, was the back surgeries. And the 1st one somehow gave me gas pains that the morphine couldn't cut. Didn't feel the back after the morphine shots, but the pain in the adomen. O ya. Go figure. Tho, I do love the morphine! Thankfully didn't get hooked, but if, lord forbid, I got something that makes life not worth living anymore. Hit me up with morphine baby! Let me ride into the afterlife.
That said. Installed a bunch of new plugins for the work studio (what a PITA, and a total waste of packaging, if the first thing they say is "download the latest update...". Also got a FREE update to Vectorworks. (I updated it a month before the BIG update...so I just have to over-pay the shipping for the new disks).
OK, back to work... I'm not here... really. working.
(ps: vw! OMG what a morning. You did more before your shower than I do all day sometimes! :: swoon :: )

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Morphine doesn't work for me. It makes me louder, and the pain smaller, but not enough. And I always turn down more.
Dilaudid is the best bet for me. I've had up to 10mg, but the goal is to give me 6, but all at once. Turns out some doctors think this'll stop me breathing so they hook me up to monitors, and others are willing to leave me alone in the room on all that narcotics with my ride. Still, I'm safe in his hands.
I've been told a number of times that I can't possibly ever have been given more than 2mg in one visit, so my specialist had to put it in my file--doctors were arguing with me over dosage, and that's so not my job. They can argue amongst themselves. Leave the crying lady out of it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I broke my wrist (and after the initial pain had gone), it only hurt if I was doing something to it - like trying to take my winter coat off. Otherwise it was fine, but it was bent at a bizarre angle. Although that didn't freak me out the list bit, it did freak the cab driver when I showed it to him. He got it in his head that this was a real emergency, requiring him to go racing down city streets at 60 mph. I was afraid he'd get stopped for speeding, but if that happened I figured I could hold up my wrist to the cop and say, "Lookie!"

Oh, bummer, I need to do that. I'll pretend it is not true until I experience it for myself.

move out and draw fire
I think I'm going to have to say I've had 2 UTIs that were worse pain than labor, or breaking my leg by twisting my foot around backwards and then walking on it for two days, or having 2nd degree burns in my crotch. I fear the UTI.
I have a friend who was in the embassy in Kenya when al-Qaeda blew it up, and his face melted. He's alive, and with skin grafts he has a face, but I can't even imagine what that was like.

not your mom's socks.
I think that hurt worse than the migraines do, but it was easier to bear.
because it didn't sneak up on you to give you a brain wedgie, but do it so that you could see it coming? Migraines = evil.
I'm allergic to codeine. Says so on my chart. The one that the drug gods didn't read after Iris was delivered. Granted, the guy who did the epidural was awesome - and an accupuncturist on the side (REALLY good combo) - so the pain didn't really take over until just before they could switch me out to a really interesting and pleasant Demerol/Advil combo. The nurse who told me I had to get up and walk the next morning after surgery - she would have liked Ita's shocky-sticks.
Jilli - can you slip a zero-divide into something, just as, I don't know - proof of concept? Then they'll need more people...
