They took my morphine and now give me tylenol with codeine and I hurt. Am also full of gas and it hurts. Owie.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

[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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh GC, I'm so sorry. Your painkillers are the reverse of mine, because morphine makes me deathly ill, while Tyco is sweet, sweet pain relief to me.
May you get something that really works well on your pain. (and something for the gas.

Poor GC, hope you feel better soon.

Ahhh, yes, the gas. They do that in surgeries down there. EM had it when she had her tubes tied. Fart for your life! It's your only hope! Fart and fart again!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Poor GC.
Crap. I'm panicking. Way too much stuff going on, and way too many people who are supposed to be helping me who won't respond to my emails. Speaking next week. National conference. Attended by 5500 mathematicians. Of whom I'd be surprised if more than about 25 were at my talk, but that's still more people than I'm used to for talks, and first time I'll be giving a talk in this kind of formal environment.
I do have new clothes. I still need to shorten the pants, though.

Hil, I'm sorry you're panicking. I am too. Taking a three hour nap when I already have too much stuff to do is no good.

Oh, GC, the memories.I had my fibroids removed a few years ago and have not so fond memories of shuffling around the floor with my IV, pausing every few steps to grunt and attempt to pass gas so I could go the hell home.

Huh. Am realizing I have no clear idea of what fibroids even are.

They're basically a benign mass in the uterus. They attach to the side and hang on. No one knows what causes them. Some women have them and never know it. Some women have them and it causes their stomach to bloat. Some women have them and they cause heavy bleeding and blood clots (me!)

So kind of like a uterine remora? Huh. Hope the healing process goes quickly, GC!
