Dawn ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh meara, you poor thing. I'm so sorry! And what everyone has said about an easy trip home and quick healing.
Just FYI for Buffistas in the Greater Philadelphia area, I am on call for emergencies here. :-)
flea, I'm so glad you went! And plus, you get to say told you so to Caspar about your internet friend.
There's been a fire about 5 miles east of me most of today. The wind seems to be mostly to the South, so not particularly worrying, but seeing the smoke continue to pile up is not pleasant.
I'm not seeing so much smoke, yay! And my lawn is mown. It still looks terrible and unkempt, but at least it isn't all tall weeds
Oh, meara. That's so miserable.
I can't offer much practical help from here, but if you like I can come up with some alternate stories for when you are asked what happened. For instance... Jeff Gillooly.
Mostly right now I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to like, live, for the next several weeks. When I can't live at home with all my stairs. :( going to stay with a friend for a few days but hate to feel so dependent on them and I won't be able to go do shit...
I'm sorry, meara. It's gonna suck, but those that reach out to help, they want to. I get the chafing (panic) about being so limited. It's scary & vulnerable making. Just take small bites of the future for now.
Yeah, that sounds like it will be hard. I'm sorry. Also super glad you have someone to stay with!
Ugh now I'm super paranoid and can't tell if I have further fucked up the leg, or it's just the normal pain expected and the feeling of having a strong splint, or if my leg is secretly swollen and about to explode and I should already be in the ER again...(pretty sure it's 2, with a possible side of 1, but the fact that a couple times now as I fall asleep I try to jerk my leg/ankle/foot and wake myself up in a lot of pain is not good. But I am so so tired)
meara, I'm available all day (with bonus Peanut), if you need anything (including caffeine and/or a ride to the airport).
Oh meara, I can only imagine the added complexity of being away from home. Yes, remember that people who offer help mean it. I have a nice no stairs house, but a bit geographically inconvenient.
~ma for good drugs and quick resolution to all the logistics.
