You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Christ, Kat. That's way too much and a STUDENT teacher? Those fuckwads.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Good news: some chunks of sleep have happened despite the torture devices on my legs.

Someone just came by with a mobile x-ray machine. Didn't know they had those.

I don't use the FB app on my phone often, but Jesus, it's terrible.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Kat, I hope the new job works out. I'm sorry about all the stressors.

Dana, I'm glad you were able to get some sleep despite it all. And you're right about the FB app. I've resentfully refused to download the secondary FB messenger app that they keep pushing at me, because if it's all together on their main site, they should figure out a way to put it all together on the app, darn it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesus christ, Kat. I hope everything shakes out well for you and as quickly as possible.

Our wings are not tired.

Kat, that is an overwhelming list. New school looks like something to look forward to. I hope that things fall into place for the kids and K quickly. May you find a way to de-stress while waiting for all the awful to be behind you.

Quick healing wishes, Dana. Hope they spring you soon.

Maybe I should not be googling info about low blood pressure after surgery.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wow, Kat, that is a lot. I hope the new school is as good as it seems and you all can get through this turbulent time with a minimum of trouble. I especially hope that Noah will decide to talk to you. That is some serious bullshit with current school. Argh, trying to compose a post on my phone is not going great, maybe I should get out of bed before trying to communicate.

Recovery~ma, Dana! Nifty about the mobile x-ray.

Surgeon's NP came by, and they're not worried about the blood pressure at all. It's from the anesthesia (which I knew), and as long as you're in good health otherwise, it's no biggie.

Still on track for getting released today, which is reassuring. The nurses...were not reassuring.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

How do you feel, Dana? Other than not getting a great night's sleep.

Read the news, that'll get the BP up. Hope the release is not too annoying. Much hurry up and wait involved IME.
