Our wings are not tired.

You guys! We're starting to get in patient reports and it's so incredibly thrilling to hear about people's pain scores going from a "8 or 9" to a "1 or 2" within days of treatment. I am so fucking psyched. My grandfather would be so proud. What kills me is that some of them say their Shingles pain is so bad that they're not even *bothering* with the lidocaine topical anesthetic beforehand - they say that *nothing* could be worse than the pain they've already got! That is an incomprehensible amount of pain (to me).

(I have to be careful about what I divulge in public, but this is all being written about for public use anyway.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

javachik, that's so wonderful. Pain reduction for the win!

So, aim for the head, not the lungs.

It's not like you can really aim an AK. You can only point in a general direction.

I am literally bouncing on my office chair as I type this, I am that excited.

All of the stuff I've worked on in biotechs before this one was more abstract, it was hard to get too excited. But pain? I can relate to pain! And the patients are so thankful. One brought a fruit basket to her doctor the next day!

Once just said, "Another piece of Communist trash, and I say that with the greatest respect." And then, "The thing with pieces of Communist trash, is that they just don't break."

Har. Guess that there's a reason why the A-Team like the AKs.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh, that's fantastic, javachik!

I have turned into Dylan. My oh-so-grown-up reasoning for wanting a second piece of string cheese? "But I waaaaaaaaaaant it." Mom is laughing at me.

That's really exciting, java.

Heh!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I have sorted out the garage sale clothes. There are 3 huge boxes of women's clothes, another of shoes, another of coats and jackets. A box of bedding. And SEVEN boxes of girl clothes. SEVEN. Good lord.

I am reluctant to COMM the following, but it made me laugh and laugh.

On the up side, I did get to come clean about my erstwhile Smurf obsession. That felt kinda good. Wouldn't have done it without a French guy in the room, though, I don't think.

Sister, I feel your pain.
