I'm sorry, Pix; back pain is pretty debilitating. I hope it heals quickly.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

[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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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.
Pix, sending vibes for your back to ease up.

Oh man, Pix, I hope you're feeling better now.
I do a variation of this every time I choke on something, it's "am I still breathing? yes, then I'm not gonna die...this time".
One of the weirdest sensations I ever experienced was when I had some dental work done and the spot where they did the novocaine injections also ended up numbing the area around my nose. I couldn't feel myself breathing and every few minutes I'd be all "holy crap, I'm not...oh wait, yes I am." Freak-y.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Vanilla liqueur + blood orange soda
So, basically, a creamsicle with alcohol? sounds good!
And in regard to medical warnings - when I call the internal medicine department I use for my PCP the recording always starts off with "if this is an emergency hang up and call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room" ... which, um, why would you call a doctor if it's an emergency? or am I being too logical?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
why would you call a doctor if it's an emergency? or am I being too logical?
Because you really don't want to be a fuss?
I'd totally do that.

Punishingly Intricate
It can hard to be sure something's an emergency so you'd call your doctor first to check.
