Jesus christ, Kat. I hope everything shakes out well for you and as quickly as possible.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

This too shall pass.
Kat, that is an overwhelming list. New school looks like something to look forward to. I hope that things fall into place for the kids and K quickly. May you find a way to de-stress while waiting for all the awful to be behind you.
Quick healing wishes, Dana. Hope they spring you soon.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Maybe I should not be googling info about low blood pressure after surgery.

Wow, Kat, that is a lot. I hope the new school is as good as it seems and you all can get through this turbulent time with a minimum of trouble. I especially hope that Noah will decide to talk to you. That is some serious bullshit with current school. Argh, trying to compose a post on my phone is not going great, maybe I should get out of bed before trying to communicate.
Recovery~ma, Dana! Nifty about the mobile x-ray.

Surgeon's NP came by, and they're not worried about the blood pressure at all. It's from the anesthesia (which I knew), and as long as you're in good health otherwise, it's no biggie.
Still on track for getting released today, which is reassuring. The nurses...were not reassuring.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
How do you feel, Dana? Other than not getting a great night's sleep.

Read the news, that'll get the BP up. Hope the release is not too annoying. Much hurry up and wait involved IME.

The company I'm working for has equipped a few employees with exoskeletons to enhance their physical abilities. That's kinda cool.

My 8:30 meeting was moved and my 11 just got cancelled -- everything's coming up Jesse! And in between was my "annual" review, which was just fine.
