My appointment with the hand surgeon went well. Got a cortisone injection in my hand. He said that it takes a couple days to really feel the effects of it. For some people, it helps, and then that's it. For others, it helps for a few weeks, but then it gets worse again, so I've got a follow-up appointment in a month to see how I'm doing. At that point, I might need a second shot. He said that about 70% of patients get better with the shots, but if I'm part of the other 30%, then I'll need surgery, but it's a pretty minor surgery.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

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

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

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

I just got a visit from a Quality Assurance person. That's never happened to me in a hospital in the USA.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Surgery~ma, Zen!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Surgery-ma, Zen. Even if you can't get upstairs in your house, I'm sure it will be comforting just to be there.
