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

Is that McCain/Hagee thing due to be worse than Obama/Knight?

(firstly get your minds out of the gutter, and secondly--that is the name of his preacher, right?)

Nurse just told me the diagnosis of the loud woman across the hall. Way to HIPAA, lady. Also, kind of what I was guessing, but on the less dramatic side.

For shame. There are a milion reasons I should remember that. Just because I'm not voting, doesn't mean I can't pay a widdle attention.

I'll give you partial credit.

It's not just copays, it is lifetime bennies. Which, in CA, may be equal. More progressive than most often . I know I have a limit (or had, haven't checked lately) on the number of mental health visits I could make under my plan. It was something ridiculously small.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I think I ran out of internet.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I'm not sure, because apparently all of the counselors go on vacation at the same time right when I need them in this bodunk town, but I think my insurance pays for 12 visits a year to a psychologist or psychiatrist or chiropractor.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

meara, maybe I can lunch with you and ita on Weds? My only issue with dinner is that it'd be me, the DH, and the kids, so suddenly a lot of people involved.

ita, do you need a ride later? Please call us if we can help. We're nearby.

Thanks for the `ma, I think I need to hold onto it for a bit. Franny got a very low lottery number, which makes us at 0 for 2 at the moment.

Sure Burrell--email me your number, and I'll call you if it's possible? It'll all depend on how things are going with the woman I'm shadowing. I'm mearagirl at yahoo.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Remember when way back in January I asked questions about broken noses? Well, I've finally actually reached that point in the story, and my protagonist's sidekick is about to set his broken nose, ~24 hours after the injury occurred. Two questions...

1. When Sidekick pushes Hero's nose bones back into more or less proper alignment, is that going to give Hero a nosebleed again?

2. Will Hero notice improvement immediately, like being able to breathe through his nose again, or will that have to wait till the swelling has time to go down?

Actually, make that three questions...

3. How long will it take for Hero to start looking human again (swelling gone down, bruises faded, etc.)? I need to know how many days/chapters he's going to get "What happened to YOU?" remarks...
