Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

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

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

I'm so sorry, Epic! Much love and best wishes to you and your mom. I hope they'll find an easy answer.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

No easy answer, unfortunately. Not a major heart attack, possibly a minor heart incident. No brain bleed on the CT, they can't do an MRI, but the kind of strokes an MRI would show are unlikely. So they're adjusting meds to try to calm her heart and lower her heart enzymes, and allowing her blood pressure to rise a bit to make sure there's sufficient flow to her brain. They seem to be bewildered about why she's not able to talk. So now I'm just in wait and see mode apparently. We left when she finally got to sleep. Praying for good news tomorrow.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh Epic, I am sorry. So glad you have friends who could come and be physically present with you. I hope for good news tomorrow (today).

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Epic, I hope your mom is doing better today. Please keep us updated.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Epic, I hope today is a good day for you and your mom.

Epic, so much ~ma for you and your mother. I'm so sorry.
