I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

[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.

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.

Hil, I am glad you got some rest and feel a bit better.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Drunk i am. Cheers.

Day 5 of diet and it really seems to be helping with my pain and acid reflux, but oh my am I tired. I want to sleep for a month.

Went to see the doctor today. Got a couple of new prescriptions that might help with the pain, and some paperwork for if I want to get a powerchair or scooter for when I'm having bad days but still want to do stuff. I think I'll hold off on the chair for a little while -- see how the meds work for a few months, and see if I think I still need it then. (Though, on the other hand, who knows what insurance will look like a few months from now.)

Hil, if your doctor offered it, it might not be a bad idea. If you get it in the works now, it will be there when you need it. If you wait until you really need it, who knows how long you will have to wait while it goes through the process of paperwork, etc.

Steph, it has been a few days since you wrote this, but would it be ok for me to post this in COMMA?

I cannot begin to re-emphasize how goddamn much I thought therapy was going to be like going to archery at Camp Butterworth but actually turned out to be the fucking Hunger Games. Or, like, you think you're going to rearrange the living room, so you move the couch, and then there's a hellmouth under the couch. And the hellmouth is made out of your goddamn parents.

I'm inclined to agree with WindSparrow, Hil. You can wait to use it until you need it--which I hope will be a long time from now. But it can be in a corner of your home, holding spare towels or something, until that time comes. And then it'll be right there.

Good point. I've got spring break next week, so I'll take a day to go to the medical supply store and see what the prices are, and what insurance will cover.
