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

May you handle your fraughtness with grace and composure, -t.

And exactly the same adjectives to your vertigo, Consuela. My dad's had to be hospitalised a couple times with repetitive labyrhinthtis, and it was about the first times I'd ever seen him sick so it's always struck me as an epically awful thing I couldn't dream of experiencing?

I think my eye has dried up enough I can drive without being a menace. Which is good, because groceries. I now have an apple craving. Whut?

ita, I admit that I thought of you as I was there, appreciating the kindness of the nurses, who didn't mind coming by to add yet another blanket to my pile. I was so grateful for the option of IV fluids (which wouldn't have happened if my sister hadn't said to my surgeon, "Can't you give her a shot?" because he was otherwise just going to send me home), but it's certainly not something I would want to do every week. On the other hand, if the ER is where they make you feel better, then yeah, you go to the ER. I'm glad you have other options now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man, Consuela, that sounds terrible.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Oh gosh, that sounds awful, Consuela! Glad that the ER and your sister were there for you.

I'm doing some epic decluttering of my bedroom. Two bags worth of recycling, one bag of garbage and two big bags of old clothes too worn for cloth recycling.

Because books.

Jesse, this might interest you: [link]

Poor Consuela! I hope it eases up really soon.

The baby video is wonderful.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Punishingly Intricate

That's horrible, Consuela!! Hooray for medicine that makes you feel better and nice nurses, at least.

We have kittens in the house! They are with Bob in the basement and I'm upstairs with the dog, who whines when we are both in the basement. Still working on names!

Ugh, Consuela, so sorry for vertigo ick. I hope that they've broken the nausea cycle.

The kitten pics from FB are adorable!

I have a headache in the beyond category, but a bunch of stuff today. I'd rather just go sleep.

Ugh, Consuela. I hope you feel better soon. I once had vertigo for about 12 hours and I thought it was hell.

Kittens!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh, Consuela, my sympathies. The worst I've ever had vertigo was a few days of "every time I roll over or try to stand up I get woozy-woobly for a few seconds" at the tail end of a cold, and even that was completely hellish. I can't even start to imagine it going nonstop.
