Hugs Strix.
So, I am terse in my keyboard responses, but know in my head, I am all full of feels and sympathy y'all.
We should come up with a code. But not emoticons. Ummmm, ~ma would cover everyone who needs it. Yes, would be a lengthly agreement with whatever is being discussed. Ummmm, ok, I suck at codes.
Thanks, all!
Hee, Suzi! I am a total blabbermouth (via keyboard) so not being able to do more than a hunt'n'peck is KILLING. Plus, TYPOS. ARGHH. AGONY.
What sj said.
Strix, that is so, so much.
My optimism says that having the offending organ vacuumed out will improve a lot of things for you. May it be so.
Oh, I am down with the organ removal! I have high, high pain tolerance (thanks, Former Uterus!) and those attacks left me whimpering, groaning and howling like a dog, and I'm not a pain verbalizer: worst pain ever. Thought I was having a heart attack, maybe, the 2nd time.
It IS a lot, and I am PISSED. When I am not prostrate with depressive ennui.
You're down a couple of organs now!
I know! I wish someone would PAY for the damn things, instead of vice versa.
I mean, dude...I'm sure they could be fixed up and given to someone who WANTS them. Like a secondhand car. Other than all the, uh, health problems, I am...really healthy? My BP is STELLAR, given my love of all things salt lick. And my heart could be a Valentine's Day cover model.
You'd think there would be a blackmarket for these things.
Put in an ad, "tub full of ice water and knock out drugs not required! Organs available to good home!"
They can go to a crap home; show me the money! "One gently used gallbladder; proven excellent reflexes! Prime fixer-upper. 10K OBO."
