so happy to hear that, amyth. Are you getting sufficient time off to recouperate?
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

Isn't scopolamine the "Zombie" Drug? You'll let us know if you start craving brains, right? (And give us a head start?)
Glad you're feeling better. {{ amyth }} (Gentle, non-squishing hug, plenty of breathing room).

Because books.
amyth, I found that heavy dairy (cheese, ice cream) and grease (like french fries, etc.) were the thing I had to be careful with after I had my gall bladder removed. Ylack-of-GBMV. I'm glad you're feeling better!
Yay, SA! There's nothing like being done with finals.

Yes, definitely. I'm not scheduled to go back to work until the 21st, which is probably more time than I'll need. I answered an email that my student intern wrote yesterday, which my boss was cc'ed on, and my boss wrote me back, "I'm glad that you're feeling better. Stop working." So nobody is expecting anything from me, which is nice. Plus, this is the quietest time of year in our office. AND I covered the whole office this past summer when my boss was very sick, my co-worker N. stopped coming to work for a while, and all of my temps quit in a three-week period. So I feel really okay about relaxing.

Re: scopolamine. Yes. It is apparently the zombie drug AND routinely used as a transdermal patch for motion sickness and for nausea from anesthesia. Go figure! But if you read some people's accounts of their withdrawal from it (admittedly, many of those people were on it for longer, like a ten-day cruise or something, but STILL) it makes you wonder how doctors can be so cavalier and just slap one behind your ear. But it was also the only thing that stopped my barfing. But yeah, you can also Google some terrifying stories of scopolamine being used as the "zombie drug" which are truly scary.

That sounds like excellent progress in your recovery, a myth. Yay! And nice job on timing your medical emergency to a quiet time at work. That isn't easy to pull off.

Good news, amyth!
The coasters are from the NatGeo catalog. Shopng.org, search coasters. Promised to deliver by Xmas if you order by the 14th. Just FYI, if you're all desperate like me. Got my dad thinkgeek's planet glasses since they weren't sold out this year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Glad you're feeling better, amyth!
Ah, fuck, Maria, I hate that there's only so much we have control over.
