That's great news, Kat. Glad she's doing so well.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm glad things are going well! At least as well as can be expected.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The ER saves my life. They have problems, but I couldn't cope without them. And the good people are really good, and I'm just realising maybe I should buy something to take in for them on my last pre-Christmas visit. Maybe something from TJs?
Still on for dinner tomorrow, Kat, or do you need to cancel?

Because books.
I hope both you and Gracie get some decent sleep, Kat, and discharge goes easily. I'm so glad the staff made the day good for you.
I'm sorry about your sister, Cash. That kind of ire is no fun.

ita, I don't know. I'd like to say I'm still on but it's going to be dependent on how tonight goes. Right now I'm being stymied by the chair/bed/thingie in Grace's room that I am supposed to sleep on? WTF? Is there some magic origami move to this that I'm missing?

Is the standard sofa in the rooms a pullout? If I had known that, I'd totally have tried to unfold it when I was admitted. Just for the... you know, something to do when I wasn't in the ICU. Or did they roll in something special?

I don't have a sofa. I have a chair. It has a pullout thing that goes about 2.5 feet but then there is still the chair. Am I missing something? I clearly hope so as I still will be sleeping here.
I just went to the nurse's station to ask for cool mist/aerosole for Grace. But I also need water to mix her food and to tell someone I'm feeding her. And linens for me. And help with the damn bed. If things were more obvious, I wouldn't bother folks. But things are NOT obvious.

Punishingly Intricate
That sounds like the chair beds at Hopkins. It's like it pulls out twice? I dont know how to explain it. But a nurse had to explain it to me first time I used it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm just realising maybe I should buy something to take in for them on my last pre-Christmas visit. Maybe something from TJs?
I decided I wanted to do something like this for the people at the infusion center, so I walked through TJs and got a bunch of stuff that struck my eye, stuck them in two holiday gift bags and handed them over to my nurse of the day to be put the staff lounge. It seemed to go over really well--people were smiley about it.
