"MY MONSTER. LET ME SHOW YOU IT."

Ok, this made me laugh so hard my eyeballs about fell. OUT.

Hee. Anyone else read Smart Bitches, and flash on the romance cover LOL snark: a giant shirtless, Fabio with a masterfully crooked finger with "MY HERPES: LET ME SHOW YOU IT."

Cause that's what I saw.

Thanks for all the words, My internet went wonky last night right as I was posting, and I couldn't get back on.

I know I'll want to be in my apartment soon after I get better, but I really don't think my folks would LET me stay by myself. (yes, I'm 35.) And I...kinda don't want to be alone. My mom and dad have a room for me, my sister works at Borders and will bring me tons of books, thr puppy will lay on my feet and lick my hand, and mom and dad will bring me hot tea with lemon to wash down the Percocet, and get all my scripts and bring in a TV and my sister has all the Buffy, Angel and Firefly DVDs.

I got two cats (who I WILL miss), a lumpy futon, and echoing solitude. I'ma goin' home. My friends will come and hang with the cats.

RE: postponing it if the test comes back ok...when my doc initially said surgery, I was all "Sure...anytime after June 3rd?" and she looked at me like I was crazy. She said she wanted to get it out ASAP, because of its size. If I was her sister, she would be counseling her to get it out ASAP even if it wasn't cancerous, cause if it bursts, it would be really not good.

Sorry to be all me, me, me -- I went into work today and started sobbing, I don't know why, I"m really quite okay with this, except for the time and money. But my awesome boss sent me home.

Sorry to be all me, me, me

Because this is such an unimportant, first-world problem, except for how IT TOTALLY ISN'T. Honestly, leave the apologizing for those of us who really complain about stupid stuff. Feh. Apology-hogger.

Erin, I wish I were closer. I'd bring you soup and amusing dolls.

I'm sorry that I'm sorry, Em! Don't thwap me with the amusing dolls!

(thanks, btw. I like hot and sour!)

Erin, when is this all happening?

I'm actually going to be in the area next weekend. I have no idea if I'll have time to get away (big family gathering for the nephew's baptism), but I'd love to try!

May 6th is my surgery, vw.

Ok. Well, what's the possibility of stealing you away for lunch next Friday?

And completely unrelated, I haven't done the I-hate-group-work rant for a few days, so I think it's time for a new version.

PEOPLE, you were to get me your annotated bibliography entries by Tuesday so I could have the compiled AB by Thursday. NOW is not a good time to be asking *how* to create an annotated bibliography entry. Grrrrrr!

So, what I really want to probe the hivemind for it: anyone ever had one of these things, how long does it take to recover from a chick slice and dice?

I didn’t have a cyst, but I did have fibroid surgery. It was basically a mini c section (smaller incision). I was fine after two weeks, but I attribute that to doing NOTHING the first week. I mean, it was a big day when I moved from the bed to the chair.

I know I'll want to be in my apartment soon after I get better, but I really don't think my folks would LET me stay by myself. (yes, I'm 35.)

I said that I was going to stay with my parents because it wasn’t fair to my mother to make her sleep on the couch, because I know that she wouldn’t go home. I had to wait until she was out of the house to sneak and have a shower after three days. She made my dad stay with me, and I was able to convince him that I could take a shower by myself.

Sorry to be all me, me, me -- I went into work today and started sobbing, I don't know why, I"m really quite okay with this, except for the time and money.

It’s still stressful, sweetie.

{{Erin}} I like your recovery plan a lot.

Happy birthday and Bartleby-day, bonny!

OMG - really? Is there anything better than cold, leftover Chinese food? Specifically sweet and soup chicken and veggie lomein?

Erin! Dude, that's ... really sort of fascinating. I'm so sorry about the money and time stress, though. ::hugs Erin:: I should write you some porn for your recuperation!
