I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Wait, Sean...what the WHAT WHAT?!

Surgery for what?! What the fuck?!

HOW OUT OF THE FUCKING LOOP AM I?!!

I've always thought we could take something viral if we put our minds to it.

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

Ginger, we are legion and know legions, I think we could, too.

I'm getting the pig!

Sean - once you know more regarding a date, and if you have decent physicians, I would suggest requesting lorazepam. I don't know if you still smoke or not but typically recovery requires you to quit smoking for increased healing. When I had my surgery the fear of the procedures ON TOP OF the quitting smoking anxiety was enough for them to prescribe it for me. It can be a one time thing with a low dosage but it's worth asking for. That's my .02 anyway.

Oh, and Hi Natter. It's been a while... Long enough that it feels odd to even post.

Up with the sun

I don't have anything intelligent to say, but I got Nilly's email so here I am, heartbroken and so sorry this is what it takes to get me to check in.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of ita's family and close friends. She was a light and will be missed.

Minor stuff.

Actually, asshole surgery. Yep! That's right! I'll be surgery to correct the problem, finally!

No, seriously. Apparently my, um... hemorrhoids are bad enough that they'll require surgery to correct.

I apologize to everyone for the TMI, but I think I have grown to old to give a crap about talking about it anymore. (Also, as I've said many times, the jokes write themselves!)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I've always thought we could take something viral if we put our minds to it.

Fuck yeah. Suit up. Keyboard at the ready.

Thanks, Nicole. I'm trying to quit anyway, because a) I should, b) it's too damned expensive, and c) even without surgery, it exacerbates the problem, or so I'm told.

I was shooting for a New Years quit date. I haven't quite made it, but I've cut way back. I'm trying to do it without some alternate nicotine supplement, although now that I have an actual doctor, I should ask him for something to help quit. I will ask about lorazepam.

Let me know what to help make viral. I know many draft-dodging peace freaks that tweet.

It just feels so futile.

Hubby was a checklist in a meat grinder. Since they accelerated his treatment, so many things had to be done quickly, and never once in my hearing did anyone give him any sympathy. I can't go into everything he went through before the transplant because it makes me break down. But it was all standard procedure, done professionally, and was considered necessary. And they got him out the door and brought in the next subject who had to be prepped.

Efficient. Required. Medically necessary. And so soulless. I don't blame the Huntsman staff for not making a bigger effort to connect to their patients. God knows how many they lose. The coping methods they have to use must be horrific. But it makes me very angry.
