[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Teppy, tons of ~ma your way. I hope the hospital does good by you and right quick. I wonder, since you are the poster child for them, does this count as warranty coverage or something? Maybe give you the executive suite at the hospital? Seriously, get better soon.

Teppy, if it's just an inflamed muscle group that's pushed nerves around or a pissed-off disc, a cortisone shot may do the job. Hubby's had lots of those--before the insurance company accepted that the X-rays did indeed show fractured vertebra--and they're miraculous.

the executive suite at the hospital
I don't know if they have those, but the corner rooms in our hospital are nice. They have couches they fold out to twin beds. The last time Hubby was in, an elderly woman occupied the nearest corner, and she had bodyguards. The staff didn't realize they were bodyguards--I guess they figured she had lots of large male relatives who didn't say much--until Hubby told a nurse that they were packing guns.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Get relief quick, Teppy and Erin and Askye, and everyone else who is hurting. ~ma for you.
Much easy passing~ma for your grandfather, juliana, as well as plenty of peace~ma for the whole family, and decision~ma for you. I'm sorry that your family is facing this loss at this time of year.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Erin and askye, feel better soon.
Tep, I am so sorry you're going through this again. ITA with everyone else--this is not karmic payback and you are not responsible for bringing the pain on. It just is, and it happens to suck. I hope the back get fixed soon, and you get some pain relief.
juliana, much love and strength to you. May your grandfather's passing be pain-free and peaceful. I know you'll make the decision that's right for you. Baci, bella.
