Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I don't know if anyone is good at this loss of independence, but I'm definitely not happy with it. Pretty much the only thing I can do is either lie on the couch or lie on the bed. (Actually, I guess I'm pretty good with that part.)

But needing my husband to get me things, to do all of the chores, to run the errands -- it's getting really old. For him too, I'm sure.

AND the can of Coke I just opened was flat. You have failed me, Cherry Coke Zero.

It could definitely be a growth spurt. She did the similar thing a couple weeks ago too. She'll often go a couple days without eating much and then make up for it. I try not to make a big deal of it either way. Today was just an extreme example.

Laura, that sounds very cool! And how flattering that he was pretty much recruited.

It is! I am really proud of him. When your 22 year old son's GF's parents say he is the son they never had and what that hoped for in a son-in-law, and her boss wants to hire him, he is doing something right. Lots of things. He is quite a good guy.

Zen, I hope you have easy trip home. I'm glad the insurance company is taking good care of you.

Seriously! The last thing you need is battles and it is a relief to hear that the trip home is being as effortless as possible.

I think ltc has inherited her daddy's appetite.

Growth spurts are pretty amazing. It is stunning how much growing children can consume.

I'm sorry it is so frustrating, Dana. Remember that you would do for him if the situation were reversed. I hope this is all behind you soon. Independence is wonderful, but simply not always possible.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Ugh. Just checked to see if the wheelchair battery was delivered yet, and there was a FedEx tag on the door saying that they'd attempted delivery half an hour ago and no one was home. I've been here the whole time, and didn't hear anyone knock. I tried calling FedEx, and ended up getting connected to a line where I could hear background noise, but no one was actually on the line. So I gave up and went to the website and said for it to be delivered to a local FedEx location, and I'll pick it up there. It didn't tell me when it would be delivered there.

I'll be able to pick up the battery on Monday. Argh. I'd wanted to be able to use the chair this weekend.

If anyone needs a laugh today, go look at the picture I posted on Facebook just now. I'm sure I'll find it funny someday.

I'm pretty sure one of the nurses I saw for pre-op testing referred to giving a urine sample as "going tee-tee." However, she was also the one who drew blood, and she found a vein with almost no trouble and caused me almost no pain, so I will forgive her.

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

Home safe. Been up an arduous 28 hours. Sleep now. Sister very glad to see me.

Sleep soundly and may your body spend that time healing. Good to know you are home.
