"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

So I have a new med to take for my throat. It's a paste which has to be applied to the very top of my throat/back of my mouth. Suffice it to say getting it there is not pleasant. And yet, it surprisingly works. I'm oddly pleased. That + vicodin + cough suppressant = a good night's sleep, right? Please?

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

Ow. What's wrong with your throat? I hope it all works for you.

I'm going to try and delay sleep tonight because my procedure is at 1:30pm and I can't eat after 12am. Not that I'm remotely hungry now, but I don't want to risk the morning.

Vicodin and cough meds alone would put me out for a good few hours, Kat. I'm sorry your throat is so sore.

Oh ita, that doesn't sound fun at all. I can handle the not eating, it's the not drinking that gets to me. What is the procedure, if I may ask?

Viral infection. The ulcers/sores are a special treat.

They're going to be injecting/killing something between my C1/C2 vertebrae. My discs are bulging all the way down to my shoulders. I don't know if I can conscientiously ever return to the martial arts, as if I didn't have enough reasons to want to cry today.

I get to drink enough to take my pills, but she said sip. I don't think she gets how much pillage is in my morning. I'd just rather not be awake for most of it.

The ulcers/sores are a special treat.

Ow! I hope you get knocked out.

Oh ick, Kat! That sounds incredibly painful.

I'm currently watching a guy I knew on Travel Channel do Muay Thai, and damn, do I ever miss krav. For Kat knocked out is good, for him, NSM.

At least my instincts seem to still be reasonable--the faults I find with Dhani's form are corrected in the gold medal winner that they show.

I still miss it, though.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yeah, I bet. It's depressing me just to think about it for you, frankly, and it must be about a hundred times harder to be facing it. Mom went on a crying jag last night, because she's in kind of the same boat -- at least you're trying to fix it. I can't get her to take Pepto Bismol when she's nauseous, or Tylenol for the considerable pain she's in. I can't even get her to explain why she won't take them.

Oh Kat, I had that once. Yeesh!

They're going to be injecting/killing something between my C1/C2 vertebrae. My discs are bulging all the way down to my shoulders.

I really hope this helps.
