smonster,
that is so GROSS! I am glad it seemed easily treated though. Hope it didn't cost $500.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

smonster, I'm glad to hear that Bella will be okay. Poor Bella - that does sound remarkably unpleasant.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Glad Bella is fixed up and has appropriate meds.
Flu shot makes me miserable for at least a day. So much better than flu though.

Had car trouble Thursday, eye surgery yesterday. Has not been the easiest of weeks. Two amusing things:
When the doctor was about to work she asked me if I was "comfortable".
My reply: "Doctor, you are about to stick a sharp object into my eye. My survival instincts tell me that it is *much* more important that you are "comfortable".
Later, I had to wait for a ride home, so I decided to do some mild exercise. I chose a spot out of the way of traffic flow and walked back and forth. To make the exercise sightly more intense (though still very mild) I walked backwards half the time. A did with his mother saw me doing this, and asked "Why are walking like that?"
I replied: "Kiddo, I'm doing wimpercize."

My reply: "Doctor, you are about to stick a sharp object into my eye. My survival instincts tell me that it is *much* more important that you are "comfortable".
Ooh, snap! Good one.
I replied: "Kiddo, I'm doing wimpercize."
Also, good!

I always tell phlebotanists the same. You have the needle, let's work on you being calm focused and on task. I'll work on not passing out.

Hah. When I had eye surgery they asked me for my anxiety level, adn I was like, "well, at the MOMENT it's a 2. But you're not doing anything yet. It'll ratchet up quite a lot...." (and then they gave me valium, and so on, and ended up having to give me fentanyl, because I was like "yeah, not feeling like that valium did shit for me...the anxiety is getting higher and burning it right off as you get closer to THINGS IN MY EYE")

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.

I love that the blood-draw cubicle farm at the local clinic has bulletin boards with comics posted on them. I'm fine as long as I don't actually see the needle, and it's nice to have something fun to focus on.

Oh boy. Considering how panicky I get over eye exams now (thanks, allergic reactions to eye drops, the gift that keeps on giving!) I don't want to contemplate eye surgery.

Hah--the "phlebotanists" typo has me giggling, imagining very serious people in scrubs trying to get blood from a plant.
