I also found that if I used a whitening mouthwash it bleaches out the night guard a little (not every day, but it had gotten badly discolored ... seemingly, I'm setting something of a record for its longevity).

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

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm sick of taking time to go to the doctor only to get a response of, "that sucks for you" and no real useful advice. I have a couple of tests scheduled, but I'm not terribly hopefully that anything is going to get better anytime soon.

Shit I didn't say: Why are you having a meeting that could have been an email on a Friday afternoon 2 weeks ahead of the thing we're meeting about????????
Making friends.

In case Jilli pops in, I saw this and thought she might be interested ... maybe as an overskirt to something.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Follow-up with ankle surgeon today. He said the leg looks good, he had expected a lot more swelling. There were incisions on both sides of the ankle, which I didn't realize, and currently my leg looks like a fresh Frankenstein creation, with the long rows of staples and discolored skin. These are gonna become some interesting scars. Might need two Viking tattoos to camouflage them.
Y'all, the doctor said it was one of the worst breaks he'd ever worked on. He couldn't believe I'd flown home with the leg like that and dealt with it for a week. He said he'd been taking crushed shards of bone out of the leg, and part of the fibula, he couldn't even get back into place; we just have to watch it and hope it heals itself. (He was not impressed with the Icelandic surgery. At all. His partner looked at the x-rays of the pins they put in there in Iceland and said What the hell is that??)
But the good news is, I do have an ankle again, and it will be okay with some physical therapy. I may develop arthritis in the ankle, but... eh, you know, arthritis happens to people who didn't fall down an Icelandic volcano too.
The doctor thanked me for having the best story he'd heard so far behind breaking an ankle. Most people just break themselves at home.

Oooooh. That is a great skirt, and would make a good layering piece ...

Our wings are not tired.
Are you able to be at home and get up stairs? Is PT somewhere reasonably convenient or do they come to you?

My house is not laid out well for handicapped access, unfortunately. I'm staying with my sister for a while. We get along well and I like her house a lot, but I miss my kitties.
No plans have yet been made for PT. But I anticipate it'll be prescribed once the leg has healed and the cast is off.

Ideally, when the cast comes off there will be some ancient mystic rune from the spirit of the volcano marking you for some mysterious destiny.
I probably read deplorable fiction.

I'll admit, Connie's sounds much more interesting.
