Just finished a Bing energy drink. Yummy cherry juice (all 5% of it), day's supply of various B vitamins, lots of caffeine and other stuff, but I don't feel particularly energized. I may be immune to caffeine by now, except to stave off the headaches.
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

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.

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.
DCJ, I'm so glad they've diagnosed you. I imagine this will be life-changing in a really good way.
Also, life-extending. The doc said, left untreated this would lead to seriously being dead within a relatively short time - didn't want to make predictions, but said at a guess, 2-5 years before the toll on Daniel's heart would explode.
I've been trying not to think about that much.

All is well that ends in pizza.
but said at a guess, 2-5 years before the toll on Daniel's heart would explode.
I thought he said 5-10 years.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Well, Daniel, even that is not even close to how long we want to keep you around!
The new prognosis is much better.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, Andi, how scary! Yeah, life-extending is good.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What Tep said! DCJ, your heart is too grand and loving a thing to hear numbers stuck on it -- I'm so glad that you're getting the solutions you need.

Sorry, poor spelling. PICC line, not pict. Anyway, it's in. The benefit of being on massive pain meds, apparently, is that you don't even feel something being inserted through a vein into your heart.
ETA: Oh D&A, how scary! So glad you got this diagnosed. And yay for good news, Trudy!

Yeah, that was NOT something you needed to be in the room to see :(

Trudy, what wonderful news!!!
Pix, don't worry about spellings. I used to do Medical Transcription, and I still have to look things up half the time. Give yourself a break right now, love.
