Oh man, Kat. Grrr. I'm glad you were honest with your students.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

Boo sucky work stuff for Kat and ND and Suela! Boo. I am telling myself one more work day until I'm on vacation.
Went to a cool bar tonight for a friend's birthday--it has all KINdS of arcade games and it's all free! Plus board games and pinball (pinball is not free, oddly). So we played rock band, and various car racing games and shootIng games and Street Fighter and a weird bowling game...

I am watching a PBS hour-long special about pie shops around the US. And now I need to make some pie.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The incision is way less painful today, which is great. It's balanced out by all of the muscles that are like "what the fuck did you just put us through, why are we suddenly walking differently?"

Yeah, the muscles aren't going to forgive you for a while.
But quick healing -ma!

Dana, how's the actual back pain/sciatica?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Lazy day here. We're going to go to the Gaithersburg Book Festival for a bit, and later we're meeting Gary's dad and stepmom for dinner.

Oh, that's gone. The only challenge walking now is the muscles, and I guess the lingering loopiness from the anesthetic. Even with the surgery drama, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
My husband yesterday said it was nice to have me back, and I said I was only gone for one night, but he meant that I was functional and could actually stand and participate in things.

Though I do still have some numbness on the ball of my foot and around the heel. The doctor said that it may take up to a couple of weeks to go away, and it may not completely go away. I'm hoping it does, because it's super weird being numb on that part of the foot.

I'm glad the original back pain has been resolved, Dana. Healing~ma for the rest of it.
ND, that's some BS. I hope the banks work things out soon.
Do you have to go to areas likely to be flooded, Connie? In my area, there are places that always flood after hurricanes or major remnants thereof come through. I can generally find alternate routes, but it sucks for people who live or work in the low spots.
