I look more rad than Lutheranism

can't miss the fact that four days ago, I had 4 holes cut in me,stuff puffed full of gas and a piece distorted to the size of a small sweet potato removed.

My friend who had hers removed yesterday is still in the hospital because she's still getting morphine for pain management. And she still thinks she can make it to the party tomorrow night. I think her optimism might be colored by the morphine.

22 here. But little wind. Yesterday was 28, but the wind was brutal.

Hence cookies.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Had a PT session at 10, decided to take the rest of the day off. Mr. S's temp was back to normal last night, so he's at daycare.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Cookies may be the answer to everything.

Steph, was hers a lapro? Or did they have to open?

Definitely a case of ymmv. Even at the worst, I think the oxy was probably overkill for me, but it made me sleep hard, which was probably wise.

Fun fact: my brother has an actually tested & IDed genetic anomaly/feature that means his opiod receptors don't. So opioids have no pain or pleasure effect on him. They ultimately still depress respiratory in massive amounts. We think my mom probably is the same because the times she's taken them (after a c-section, blearg) she described it as a horrid, painful experience....probably because it wasn't doing anything for her pain!

Connie, I don't know about shifting. Everything is just way sensitive to movement. Feels too jiggly.

I think it was laparoscopic, because it was a fairly quick procedure, based on the timing of her FB posts.

I think this may not be the Neko Atsume thread, but I finally saw Peaches! Still need Bengal Jack and 5 mystery cats.

I have not played Neko Atsume since Pokemon go came out.

It's around -17C here with colder windchills. Working downtown means the winds are brutal. Of course, I've had to leave the office for meetings twice today.

Ha! And now someone is commenting on my friend's post that she (the other person) ran a 10-mile Army race 1 week after getting her gallbladder out, and my friend shouldn't even still be in the hospital. I think it's about to turn into a competition in those comments.

OTOH, someone else emphatically said that my friend should never have had her gallbladder out but should have done a cleanse. I think what those 2 comments prove is that my friend knows CRAZY people.

I think you are right.

I think if someone had suggested a cleanse, I would have suggested they shove a shot glass up their urethra and out their belly button.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How is your mother's ankle, Jesse?

Foot/knee, but OK, I guess? There's nothing wrong with the knee, per the doctor, but she wrenched it pretty good, so it's been hurting. Mostly I think she's bored. So I feel bad that I'm going out tonight, but not bad enough not to go!

Holy crap, seriously.
