Poor Drew. And poor Pix, waiting all those weeks for him to come home and now he's stuck in hospital.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

Jeez, Pix and ND. That's a long hospital stay. I hope this all gets figured out. Best wishes to both of you.
Connie, ~ma to you and your husband, too.
Just heard from my SiL. Oldest Brother came out of the surgery fine, and hopefully will go home tomorrow. She hasn't been allowed to see him yet, but the doctor told her that he's okay. The results of the biopsy won't be in for five days, but radiation and chemo are definitely in the future. She wasn't in the mood to talk much, but she said that she hoped that my brother would be able to call me himself tomorrow.
Thanks, all of you, for the ~ma! This is just beginning, of course, but a major hurdle is out of the way.

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
We went out for a nice lunch, to a place R loves - she had 90th birthday party there.
I told R it was because we're going to celebrate today, today is the day the doctors help B get better.
It's 3:30. She should be out of surgery now or soon-ish. We have not gotten a phone call and I presume we would have had she not survived surgery. We're not expecting to hear from them until some time tomorrow when she is out of recovery.
I'll probably wait around here an hour or so in case of a Heaven Forbid call and then do some very needed grocery shopping.
And I'm ordering myself Hello Kitty Docs for my birthday present to me. I'm ordering two sizes and returning the one that doesn't fit because they're limited edition. Crazy.
I decided on these: [link] Aren't they simply redic?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Glad the surgery went well, amyth!
Fingers crossed for B, Trudy.

I'm glad they found a cause for your husband's problems, Connie. I hope the proposed solution clears everything right up.
And I'm glad your brother came through surgery all right, amyth!

Seriously, Universe, could you give the PixDesigns a break? I think they've more than earned it at this point.

I'm glad they found the source of your husband's pain, Connie. I hope they get it treated well post haste.
