Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

The company I'm working for has equipped a few employees with exoskeletons to enhance their physical abilities. That's kinda cool.

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

Wow!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My 8:30 meeting was moved and my 11 just got cancelled -- everything's coming up Jesse! And in between was my "annual" review, which was just fine.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh! I could use an exoskeleton to enhance my physical abilities.

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

The order in which stuff was supposed to happen: Breakfast (enabling pain pills), visit with PT, x-rays.

The order in which stuff did happen: Two bites of breakfast, hiccups, another two bites of breakfast with hiccups, at which point PT arrived, so then I took the pain pills, then I worked with the PTs to stand up (ow), take two steps with walker, at which point transport to the x-ray arrived, so PT was walking to the elevator and sitting in the wheelchair (sitting much easier than standing), then x-ray, then return to the room, now sitting up in the chair, PTs having forbidden the bed, to finish my breakfast.

Ah, hospitals.

The other thing that was supposed to happen very early in that process and has not is (TMI) removal of my catheter.

That is seriously interesting. I wonder if I could get the same for some of my more spineless coworkers?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

It sounds like a normal hospital stay, Dana! Good luck with your recovery.

Kat, that sounds like a lot of stuff all at once. How stressful!
