I'm not scared/upset, but what a stupid thing to tell someone.
I don't understand the Jackass Impulse to tell someone the Worst! Possible! Story! that you know about someone who had the same condition as their loved one. I'd bet every woman here who's been pregnant got horror stories about Pregnancy Gone Wrong. And I got more horror stories prior to my back surgery about someone's neighbor's second-cousin's babysitter's uncle who had back surgery and then Never! Walked! Again!, etc.
What the fuck are people thinking?
I suggest you think about my 65-year-old dad, who has blithely survived 5 heart attacks and raked leaves yesterday.
horror stories about [anything to do with hospitals]
oh sweet & fluffy lord yes - I think it's sort of like the laugh-reaction when someone is stressed? But I want some sort of spray or adhesive or at least a card that I can hand That Person, which says something along the lines of:

{{Stephanie and Joe}} Much ~ma to you both!
Shit, Stephanie! Vibing for Joe over here.
Maleficent is my favorite villian, and Aimee does a mean Maleficent! Which is only right.
Thanks, Zen and everyone!
I'm really proud of my costume. I made it all by myself. Even the hood/horns!!
really?!?! I was wondering where you'd bought it!
Sending out the ma~~~ Stephanie. Being a wife that also gets irritated at her DH when he is sick or in pain, I understand. It is part worry, part annoyance because I am not sure he is going to do anything about it. anyway, my best to you and joe
really?!?! I was wondering where you'd bought it!
Nope! Made it all by myself.
On Saturday.
t preens, just a little cause really really proud.
Maleficent is great and so's your costume, Aimee! I bought little white and pink kitty ears on barrettes at D'land that I'm going to wear. I'm not much for dressing up, but I like to do a little something. I have devil horns on bobby pins that I've worn for years so changing it up a bit this year.
My co. has been cutting down on expenses lately and I've been hoping it would cause a certain 3-day event to get cancelled. I came in this morning to an email that says, "...there are some changes regarding the XXX meeting...we'll discuss later..." Please let it be cancelled!!!
