That sucks, askye. If the coworker and wife are staying away from home, maybe you could ask if there were things you could bring over for them? (Deliver their mail or suchlike?)
Trudy, I'm glad things are looking good, recovery-wise.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Oh, askye, how heart-breaking. Fuck cancer, sideways with a rusty chainsaw.
Trudy, I'm glad that the foot surgery will be easier than previously thought.
As I finished up the inspection, he licked my face and relaxed. In that moment, it struck me how fortunate I am to love anything so much. When I was young...the angriest dog in the Universe...just trying to figure out how to be me, I would never have guessed that my heart could be so open.
Repeating this just because it was so lovely.
So I made my supervisor giggle today. One of the individuals that live there came home from work with a garbage bag full of soiled clothing, causing a flurry of scrubbing, laundering, showering, and bleaching the heck out of the areas surrounding where those tasks had been performed out of fear of splashes. After it was all over, I looked at her and deadpanned, "What a crappy day."

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, askye, how devestating.
Yes. I feel like Vet#1 was pushing a ton of (really expensive) tests. I do think he'll probably need more tests to understand what the mass in his lung is, but I really need to talk to someone first so I can understand the situation a bit better.
I actually swapped doctors at my vet for Kittenish at least. Both are very good and very competent. But one is more tests and hard numbers and the other will put more faith in my observations. And because I work from home, I can observe a lot. So that works for me. Where sometimes the numbers aren't showing the whole truth, just a snapshot. Once I made the decision to switch (switch back actually as the "new" doctor is her original doctor but she had her own medical issues and was out for months a few years ago), I felt better. You need to be comfortable.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
askye, I am so sorry. How awful.
WindSparrow, glad you were able to laugh at that. You kind of have to, I think.
Safe travels, Laura. Have fun!
Hope you slept well, Trudy.
Man, I crashed at 9:30 last night and was so sound asleep by ten that B called and it didn't wake me. He didn't leave a message. NOLA drunk dial, I'm thinking.
So much to do today, omg.
