Shana Tova, Nilly. Never seen you have anything to atone for with me - but if it makes you check in once a year I'm all for it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I guess a partially collapsed lung is better than totally collapsed?

Yikes, Teppy. I x-posted with you. I hope they can get it fixed quickly, and help with the pain. They don't think it's related to his RA?

Managing the brothers Beckmeyer seems like it could have sitcom potential. Lung -ma to Tim!
I’m in Toronto trying to get passport photos taken, to finally stop putting off getting my Canadian passport. Not for any specific reason, but you know, not ^not* for no reason.
Tonight I get to go have dinner with all the “aunts” aka my mom’s childhood and college friends. Best part of business travel is when it takes me closer to people I love. (Many of y’all included at one time or another!)

Yes, although since this is his second collapsed lung, he might need a surgical procedure to prevent it from happening again.

I’ve read that it can be related to RA, but the doctor here hasn’t mentioned it.
I’m impressed with the hospital cafeteria food — baked tilapia, broccoli, and rice. I was expecting something deep fried or just a bag of chips.
Also, I am so smart for always having migraine meds and Ativan in my purse, because I have a hell of a migraine starting and I’m about 30 seconds away from a total panic attack. Hooray drugs.

Looks like we are getting it.
That's great, Gud! Congrats.
So nice to see Nilly pixels.
I hope that Tim recovers quickly, Steph.

Tim is getting a chest tube jabbed into his side as we speak, to remove the air between the lung and the pleura that’s squishing the lung. I wanted to watch, but they said there’s barely enough room for a gurney and 2 clinicians. Dang.

That's a great-looking house, Gud.
Lovely to see your pixels, Nilly. You have definitely not done anything to offend me.
Fingers crossed all goes smoothly for Tim, Steph. I know those drainage tubes can hurt like the devil, but hopefully they'll be able to stitch him right back up.

I’ve just been waiting in Tim’s empty ER room for an hour, and the migraine isn’t going away, and I would pay someone a million dollars if I could go home.

Well the last thing you want now is a hug but you’ve definitely got my empathy and general fist shaking at the timing of the world and all.
