Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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

Karl, oh no!

"safely home from the hospital" is good. "Probably scheduled" is less good. Make the effort to get clear communication and scheduling from the medical teams.

My uncle had a vascular dissection in a carotid artery back in the early '90s. It was severe, and affected him greatly, but he made significant recovery and is still with us thirty+ years later, so have hope.

My advice to you is to encourage you to to be diligent with all the follow-ups, especially any physical therapy. In my uncle's case, early effort did pay off later.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Health~ma, Karl.

We actually managed to get Nikto to the vet this morning. It took over 30 minutes of chasing her around before we got her in the carrier, but it was done.
