Mal ,'War Stories'
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Also Steph realizations like that are important and huge even though it may seem small.
It's actually fairly huge. I 100% believed that of course other people's anxiety lies to them, but MY anxiety is always right. And now I think it's not. I just need to remind myself of that about 100 times a day, but the thing is, at least I remember it.
I missed your second post, askye. Fingers crossed for your dad. Hopefully it's just a little change that can happen with age. There's a "normal" range of abnormal, especially as people age, if that makes sense. Like, it's okay to be outside the range of normal to a certain degree once you're past a certain age.
Health~ma for your dad, askye.
My step-dad needs poop~ma. He came through his bypass surgery incredibly well, and it was super bad blockages in nasty places. Surgeon said it had been some time since he had one that bad. His recovery has been awesome, except he hasn't managed the whole bowel movement part. Since last Monday. I think part of it was his rejecting pain meds because he "doesn't need them", but instead he is avoiding at least sub-consciously doing stuff he knows is going to hurt. They finally moved him out of ICU today, but now he is getting an x-ray to make sure he doesn't have an obstruction causing this, which would not be good. He has been eating regular big meals 3 times a day since the day after surgery, so at this point he is mighty uncomfortable, and full of "it".
~ma for your dad, askye, and your stepdad, Laura.
Well, that was quick! Poop happened! Poor guy was so miserable. He wouldn't even let us visit today.
A proud man with poop issues prefers to be alone.
Hooray for pooping!
That was probably all that was keeping him from being released to rehab. What a relief!
Thank goodness for good poop! And, excellent recovery news!
I can't imagine having that kind of surgery and eating the next day.
Such wonderful news, Steph. Congrats to holding health-steady Tim! I hope your gum is feeling okay too.
Health ~ma to all who can use it.
Can I have some of that health~ma? I'm headed to the ER. I've been running a fever for the last few days and am having pain in my left side. The doctor on call wants me to go to the ER.
