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.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Compassionately intolerant
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.

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
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.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
The really shocking thing about the kitty was how OK it seemed aside from, ya know, visible spinal column. He really seemed to not be in pain or suffering which was a total mindfuck for me. I felt extra bad because I was afraid to pet him...like, I wasn't sure if maybe he had something contagious that I didn't want to bring home to my kitties. I talked to him a little while he twined around my legs...and as soon as I got home the pants he had rubbed up against went straight into the laundry. Likely paranoid but, ya know, if that happened to one of my kitties I don't even know what I'd do. Aside from take out a second mortgage on my house to pay for the vet bills.
Speaking of insane vet bills, Nico thinks nyquil capsules are of the nom. The darned things are so hard to open that I've been opening an extra dose and leaving it in the bathroom so I can redose in mid sleep when i get up to pee. I actually made it through the night on a single dose last night so both capsules were still in the open blister pack...and after breakfast Nico apparently decided that the green capsules must be delicious. I kinda get it, they look a lot like fish oil capsuled and he's caught a few of those when i dropped them and enjoyed them immensely. I found one capsule still intact but oozing from tooth marks. The other was missing. I freaked out. Dumb cat, that stuff tastes AWFUL why would you continue nomming it after realizing that it is NOT delicious fish oil??? Found Nico foaming at the mouth and licking his mouth like there was peanut butter in there. Freaked out some more, called the vet, went to get his carrier. Called animal poison control, while on hold with them FINALLY found the second nyquil capsule still intact, having rolled under a cabinet. *Phew* He's insane, but clearly not self-destructive enough to finish eating something so nastilly bitter. Good kitty, no vet today.
especially good because i resheduled monday's date for tonight and have primping to do that would be severely impeded by spending all day at the vet clinic.
