Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

The status is NOT quo.

We are at the er. They are concerned it's a collapsed lung.
I don't even.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Must be that kind of night. I woke up a little bit ago because my eczema was burning so bad. I have my cortisone on, waiting for it to dry to put on my prescription cream stuff. I also took a Benadryl.
I wonder if the hand solution I used at the shooting range today to get the gunpowder residue off my hands caused it? Or the giant ball of stress and upheaval in my life right now.
Either way, can I just say, fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck. It itches as bad as my shoulder hurt when I dislocated it.

Oh Nora ... {{{{hugs}}}} I hope the ER is quick to figure it out and efficient and effective care to fix it. So much love to you two. Also, maybe take Tom's bike away until he knows how to handle it?
And Pix - that shit would freak me right the hell out, too. Like, leave all my shit behind and go live elsewhere freak me out. Fucking hate rats and mice.
Scrappy - I wish your mom much pep and livelihood. She has so much love and support from you and your family and that is awesome.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
They are concerned it's a collapsed lung.
I am very glad that you were able to take Tom in for professional care and I hope he's feeling better soon. And you. So much stress.

Chemicals and stress are massive contributors to my eczema. I hope you get relief from the meds.

Our wings are not tired.
Nora, please check-in when you can again. Worried.

Ok, not as dire. The doctor got several xrays done, the lungs are ok. He does have 2 broken ribs though. The theory is that the broken ribs are causing irregular breathing which can lead to infection/pneumonia etc.
They just pumped him full of dilaudid and he's got an abutrol nebulizer breathing treatment going now. I think he'll be discharged in the next hour or so.
Thanks for being here everyone. It helped me keep my shit together, I tell you what.

Good news. Broken ribs, as I understand, are painful and all. But they heal.
And I am glad you had a place to worry aloud and then be strong with some support, Nora. Tonight sounded scary for you and for Tom.

Cass, yes. I am glad and grateful. Tom was super scared and I was able to stay calm thanks to the late shift.

Yikes! I'm glad Tom has something that time and a bit of care will heal.
Aims, I hope you're feeling better.
