OTOH, my Chili's waiter can call me any time. Getting into a competition with your roommate over who can make the best sandwiches to donate to homeless people? Way more up my alley.

Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
How did things go at the doctor's today, Trudy?

Our wings are not tired.
Thanks for the ~ma. Just got back to my sister's house. Mom has fluid in both of her lungs and her legs are all puffy, and there is the a-fib thing going on. They gave her a bunch of tests and a bunch of drugs. The cardiologist reports that her echo shows her heart is in great shape and says that the a-fib is not at all unusual considering her age and the lung issues, and best yet, totally controllable.
So heparin, and coumadin, digoxin, and anti-biotics have been administered and she should get better.

Ugh. You are playing my song. The Benadryl has helped with the wanna-be migraine -- it makes it retreat, but hasn't managed to make it stay away once the drugs wear off. I am SO hopped up on migraine goofballs right now I fully expect the purple-spotted elephant floating next to me to start talking ANY TIME NOW.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Pretty well, thank you! The stitches are out and tomorrow I bathe! The swelling is down nicely. I'm in the surgical gladiator-style shoes for one more week and then I get to start wearing sneakers.
The doc agrees with using a cane for a while as much for keeping people from getting too close to my feet and getting seats on the subway as for the support. They will tire easily for a while yet and sitting is something I'll want to do frequently.

Laura, I am SO relieved to hear about your mother!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm glad you are recouperating well, Trudy.
And Laura, I am so glad that the word on your mom is all treatable.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Laura, good to hear the positive news for your mom.

Be prepared to weaponize it. A few weeks with my dad showed me that some people are not exactly aware of mobility challenges. Or they are horrible people. I try to give the benefit of the doubt.
