I now have a retainer to 'replace' my missing front teeth. Feels strange -- and I can't eat with it in, but as far as appearances go, it's a real step up. So it's a small thing in the greater scheme of what's going on, but it's a major improvement for me.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

I just skipped a bunch of posts to say hi and send hugs and ~ma to anyone who needs it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
This week is full of onerosity, but at least it is off to a good start. Fangs have been polished. Bills have been paid. Labs&scans tomorrow, oncology consult Thursday.
Even if all goes well, I'll be leaving the cancer center tomorrow at the height of rush hour, and I have to get completely across the entire metro KC area. I'm stressing more about that than I am all the medical stuff.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Can you chill somewhere relatively nearby for a while and drive after traffic thins out? I know that isn't always an option, but it's nice when it is.

What -t said, dcp. Stop and treat yourself if you can.

Yeah, many options. Doesn't stop me from fretting.
Stupid brain weasels.

Unfortunately, I don't think blasting "you must chill" at brain weasels is very effective, but we can always try

I wonder if I’ll sleep through til morning.
If I tried that I'd be wide awake at 2am and not falling asleep again until 6:45.
