Buffy ,'End of Days'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I can't wait to go home this Christmas. I wish I was leaving on the 17th instead of the 24th, but I figure I should be local, jobhunting, for as long as possible. Not to mention I'm freaked out by the idea of being away from my medical infrastructure.
I'm going in for two more procedures on my neck when I get back in--the diagnosis from the first one was positive for cervical facet disease, so they're going to kill the nerves, which will hopefully give me more long term relief.
Where did meara's sister find her husband? I'm pretty sure he's a much-older black Muslim, which works pretty well...
Hah! In Indiana! Shocking! (And yes, he's 9 years older, black and Muslim! Well, about as Muslim as she is Catholic, which is to say, his parents are moreso, but...um....he doesn't eat pork or drink alcohol?)
Also: WHY can't I find any darn red hots?? I want to make those cornflake wreaths with marshmallows and green food coloring and redhots on them, but my stupid grocery store doesn't sell any!! WTF, store!?!
That's good news, ita. And they think neck relief might also mitigate the migraines somewhat, right?

It's lovely to have something concrete to throw at people when they say, "Oh, just get over it."

I always get confused, just for a second, at the pronunciation of "facet." (Fuh-sett, not like facets of a diamond.)

That sounds like good news.

I just like to tell the story. "My friend was nervous about her Catholic parents because she's a lesbian, but then her sister went and married an old black Muslim!!" Good times.

It feels weird to be all, "yay, disease!" but I'm glad this gives them something they can try.

It's a hope. But, honestly, the neck and shoulder pain is constant, so it going away will be worth it all by its lonesome.
It feels weird to be all, "yay, disease!"Yes, indeed. Especially becuase it's a disease or disease process which there is a clear and effective treatment path for.
(When I had 'frozen shoulder' it was an incredible relief to be told that even if we didn't do anything, it would most likely clear up on its own within a year. That didn't make it hurt any less at the moment, but sure made it more bearable and less scarey.)

Hah! I love that someone is telling this story. That cracks me up.

This! So...yay! And fingers further crossed!!!
