What a relief, Connie.

Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[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.
Your lips to my uterus'...ears (?) Figured i'll just take a couple of everything with me and call it good. Not like they're going to be re-using any of the drapes or such.
Can I bitch for a second? I STILL DON'T HAVE A CHECK IN TIME FOR MY SURGERY, WHICH IS TOMORROW. Thought they were supposed to call by noon, so at 12:30 I called and was told that the scheduler would call by 6pm but "I'll leave a message for her to call you right away." 6:15 pm I call again and THE OFFICE IS CLOSED so I get voicemail. I am so very unimpressed. 9 pm I call and leave another message restating my deep and sincere apprehension WRT not knowing when I am supposed to show up. I am paying these people to cut into my body, the least they can do is tell me when and where to show up, definitively, more than 2 hours in advance. Seriously, as thought I weren't worried enough!
Wow. So I called the hospital main after hours line (even though it's being done in a clinic, out patient, not in the main hospital) and their scheduling person checked the OR boards and I am indeed "on the boards" for an 8 am check in, which is rather earlier than the noon check in they had tentatively told me in the pre op appts last week. So glad I knew that a whole 12 hours in advance. Oh wait.
Rewatching Community Season 1 while pouring water down my gullet. I doubt I'll be able to sleep at all tonight
Tons of peace~ma, and awesome surgery~ma for you Erin.
Hrm, what's the best episode of Buffy or Firefly for pre-surgery? Maybe some ass-kicking is in order.

Merciful heavens, erin_o. May your body cooperate and your carers be fleet of hand and mind.

Ariel? It does take place in a hospital.
For kick ass, maybe Shindig? Mal in a sword fight?
Or Trash? To see Cap't Tightypants sans pants?
I cosign o_a's recommendations!
erin hope everything goes smoothly.
So I have a UTI. Vindicated by knowing my body. I saw a NP I hdn't before and she asked me some questions and was surprised at how much I knew. I told her I'd been dealing with this since I was a kid. She was impressed by what I could remember about various meds, except I can't remember if I've taken Cipro and had side effects. I remember a discussion either here or in Natter about joint/tendon pain but Idon't know if I ever had that. I'm sure if I did I'd remember.
So three day supply of meds and hopefully I'll feel better. As I was leaving she told me "Drink lots of water and cranberry juice" I told her I couldn't do the juice because of the Intersitial Cystitis and the pain it causes and we chatted for a bit. Then she asked me what I did, I told her I worked in retail. To which she responded "oh that's a waste;" and then corrected herself "there's nothing wrong with retail but you have a sharp scientific mind." I told her I just read a lot.
It was kind of flattering and kind of frustrating.
