All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I hope they get you somewhere more comfortable soon, JZ.

Compassionately intolerant

Echoing all the good wishes and angry epithets. Mostly just staggered in disbelief. How can this be happening to our precious JZ?

ALL the healing energy and support winging westward.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Some much much less meaningful drama:

I’ve been on vacation for about six hours. There is a blizzard bearing down at basically the exact time we are flying out. My wackadoo Russian SIL has just decided she’s not coming anyway - on a trip that was her suggestion. (My brother IS still coming, so read into that what you will.) There’s a car service picking me up in 4 hours.

I’m rolling with it. What will be will be.

Thinking good thoughts for you, JZ.

Safe travels to all, through the literal storm that's coming through. (and the figurative ones)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Just woke up after about two hours’ sleep. Still in the hallway. Feel very bleak and alone.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

JZ, feeling “bleak and alone” at 3:30 in the morning in a hospital hallway is completely understandable.

It will get better.

What comes to mind is the quote from Inara in “Heart of Gold”: “This is just a moment in time. Step aside and let it happen.”

Our wings are not tired.

Yes, this.

JZ, I hope you were able to get some more sleep. An abundance of love and ~ma.

Punishingly Intricate

Hope you were able to get some more sleep, JZ, and can go home (or at least get a room) soon today. Sending love.

JZ, I wish we could provide you with physical comfort through the interwebs. My heart is with you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Argh, waking up in a hallway feeling bleak and alone should not be happening! I’m sorry.
