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

What devilish witchery am I playing with if I went 18 on, or maybe 6 off?
Not Steph, but I believe they're only worried about skin irritation. If leaving it on longer doesn't bother your skin, you're golden.
The idea of any kind of patch worries me, because for my skin, there are only two kinds of adhesive: ones that don't stick and ones that cause welts.
Two dead cars in one week is a bit much.

We also had to get a new water heater this week. And a new toaster oven!
That's sad about Paris Jackson. Poor kid.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I can't put my head down to my knee, but I can still touch my toes.

That's what I was going to say, or that the lidocaine might not last 18 hours.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Long, long ago I could do the splits - one leg forward, not both straight out - but only with the left leg forward, and only after a solid year of daily dance classes. Right leg, never even close.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
7 years of synchro and I could hyperextend splits (either leg forwards) with front leg on a chair and back leg on a stair but never could do side split. Now 17 years out of practice i can still do right leg forward split but not left. And that only due to yoga.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Can't do the splits, never could, but I keep working on it in stretch class and now I can lift my legs a good 10-15% higher than I could before.
OK, what about stretching your legs out while sitting on the floor and putting your head down to your knee? I never could do that, either.
Oo! I know the trick to that one: relax your knees (ie bend them a little) so you don't overstretch your hamstrings. You'll get your torso down a good bit further than you ever thought you could, and in time your knees will straigten out while you relax.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
There is something wrong with my hips (they are apparently attached at the wrong angle) that means I canno sit up straight with them stretched out in front of me and also sraighten my legs.
