Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Man, Calli. Enjoy your stay? Gah.

Shoot, I meant to go to the gym but I didn't. Oops. Tomorrow.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Home from hospital. All went pretty well, though the surgery took a bit longer than planned, because it turns out I had a touch of endometriosis and didn't know it. Which explains certain symptom patterns I'd always just accepted as Normal For Me. And my anesthesiologist thinks I also have a touch of sleep apnea. The recovery team was a bit anxious about my heart rate and blood pressure (both high in the aftermath) and since I could sense their anxiety it made ME have a bit of a panic attack which made things worse, but once we got that sorted out and I made it to my room in recovery I suddenly became this model patient with nice normal to low blood pressure, no nausea, and manageable pain. The hospital had good wifi! And prompt room service with a varied selection of soothingly bland foods! I'm glad I was able to go home right on schedule, but as hospitals go it was really quite pleasant.

I've been home for about six hours, during which time I've eaten a bowl of soup and a salad, watched the first episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, re-read vol 1 of Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, and slept several hours. Tomorrow's goal=more Netflix and reading, plus a shower. Mainly my abs just hurt like hell, and you never realize just how much you use your abs every time you change positions until you have a bunch of little holes in them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good stuff, Susan! Glad all went well.

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

I'm glad that you're home and starting your recovery, Susan.

Great news, Susan, glad to hear it!

Oh yeah. I only had 3 teeny holes, one 3" slice and a small organ removed, but moving from anything resembling prone (defined as not right angle sitting) required complicated weirdass yoga. Walking was fine, but I confess I stood a lot while awake to avoid transitions. Heal well!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Susan, I'm glad you're home and settled in for maximum Netflixing!

Calli, do you need anything home-like from the water-having side of the line? Meanwhile, I'm relieved that you found a Liefur-friendly hotel and a Pokestop. I don't even have one of those within reach.

Art Crawl!!!

Susan - so glad it went well and that you are home, safe and sound.

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

Susan, glad everything went well and you're home safe and sound!

Calli, no water bad! Glad you and Leifur found a cat-friendly hotel for the interim.

I swear, I'm starting to think of stockpiling food and water. My neighbor was talking today about turning a particular hillock into a bunker. I said, uh, who owns that hill? She said, eh, they'll never notice. You know, I appreciate her enthusiasm, and if she does build a bunker, I want a few feet of space in it, so.
