That's so cool, Seska and Shir! Aww. Still wishing the lot of us could be with ginger. So unfair, all this physical space nonsense n

[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.

Met Seska and Wife. It was good. Now back at work.
Yay. Hearing about buffistas spending time together irl always makes me smile.
I wish, so much, that there was anything that I could do other than sitting here, refreshing the board, and reading.
For me, there is some comfort in knowing this is what we're all doing in times like this.

Oh, it is. I just wish there was something I could physically/mentally do to help. To cope better with the waiting.

Our wings are not tired.
smonster, I posted a picture on the Buffistas FB page and the full size picture shows that Ginger's huge grin is a result of watching your beautiful dance at the Atlanta F2F. Of course the memory also brought a big smile to mine.
It feels like the past few months Ginger has been more open in her discussions of her struggles with her health and the horrors of our medical system. To me it seems like she was trying to prepare us, or maybe herself and us. Just a feeling I had a couple weeks ago.

Always Anti-fascist!
In some ways, we haven't talked a lot recently, but we shared a hatred for being treated like a patient and for sentimental bull of all descriptions. I will think of her always when I read a science article, or when the anti-southern prejudice I grew up with flares up.She was funny and sharp, and when you "fuck" cancer next, spare a few for how this society treats people who are trying to get treated.(In some ways, that may almost be the bigger travesty.)

Off work, at home. Could hardly focus there. Lots of things to do here, though. Had to explain some people who wanted attention/empathy/my ear and shoulder what's going on. That sucked.

Yes, me too

Oh hells yes, it really is. Such a fucked up system.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Much as with ita, half her energy has been spent fighting the disease and half fighting inertia and bureaucracy and absolutely stupid fuck-ups of what should have been routine standing orders for this test or that infusion or the other check-up. It's like Brazil with all of the nightmares and none of the visual whimsey.

brillig
Doctors order tests but no one confirms that the testing facility is aware of the order. HiPAA laws are important, but so many times we were unable to get clear information on what is going on. They had no problem handing me refilled prescriptions, but they wouldn't tell me what prescriptions Hubby had.
So very very hard.
