I love retail people's faces when they ask my name and I either tell them just my surname, or I start with my surname and then pronounce and spell "ita". There's usually a look of "fuck you, that's not what I ... oh, good point, what the hell did you just say again?"
Time for some thrilling heroics.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.
Ginger and lcat, thank you so much for the link - I emailed it to Daniel. He won't be able to make use of it for a while, but it is worth checking out. I do agree that the same work with reasonable hours and not spending 2 hours on the road every damn day should be considerably less soul-sucking.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
No advice for DCJ at the moment, but lots more loving thoughts.

I'm glad Daniel's improving a bit. Sorry he's stuck in a hospital for another two weeks, but with any luck they'll be able to knock out the infection for good.

If sex with 3 people is a threesome and sex with 2 people is a twosome, now I understand why they call you handsome.

Andi,
I saw your post. My guess would be months, not weeks (but I could be wrong about that). We have a family friend who had a really bad infection after a knee operation and it was months.

Note: I think the meds he took did not have drastic side effects, but it was necessary to tackle that infection.
I am really relieved to hear that he is getting better.
