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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Congratulations, Kristin!
When H was hospitalized with second degree burns, I spent all but four hours a day in his room. He was in iso, but the nurses on his floor had dozens of other patients and couldn't check on him more than once an hour, if that. He was immobile, and couldn't reach the call button, couldn't shift himself even a couple of inches in bed, couldn't reach the button to raise and lower his mattress, couldn't reach or hold a cup of water.
It was either hire a private nurse or stay with him, so I stayed. His surgeon and the nurses all loved us--him because he wasn't a problem patient, no matter how badly injured, and me because I did a lot of the work other families expected them to do--and which they didn't have time to do, with the rest of their patient load.
That was not a week I'd want to repeat, ever, and I was only an observer. Miraculously, they discharged him in eight days, and he was walking, mobile, and functioning nearly normally within two weeks, back to normal except for some new-skin sensitivity within a month. But those first days I wasn't sure that would ever happen.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Great news, Kristin!

Steph, did it work? Is your headache alleviated?
Well, yesterday's headache was mostly gone by bedtime, though by lunch today I had what I would call a very minor tension headache (very light throbbing in a band across the front and back of my head, which is VERY different from how my migraines present). t edit And that headache is, in fact, more or less gone without ibuprofen. So, maybe the voodoo worked.
All I can say right now is that I feel endorphin-stupid and chill. Since I've been getting migraines pretty frequently, I think I'll know within a week or 2 if it worked. She wants me to come in next week, too (when I told her about my insomnia and my anxiety, she told me I had a classic grouping of symptoms, including migraines), but it might take more than 1 treatment to untangle stuff. I'm cool with that.
