So, I have to have an MRI because something went wonky in my fucking neck when I was at the dentist — for real, the dentist leaned the chair back, and when the chair got to a certain angle, electric hot knife-y pain shot down both arms, and now I have ongoing electric burning nerve pain from my elbows to my hands, including the pinky, ring finger, and middle finger. I didn’t even do anything to cause this, damn it. I just leaned back in the dentist chair.
But it’s been several weeks and isn’t improving, so I saw Awesome Doctor today, and he was like, yep, that’s your neck, and you need an MRI so we know how to treat it. In the interim I have oral steroids, and I hope they help, because this burning nerve pain sucks. And long-term, I hope this can be fixed with PT and/or a steroid injection, because I really don’t want surgery on my cervical spine. (According to Google, 90% of cases are improve with non-surgical treatments. So the odds are good.)
That sounds bad, Tep. I’m glad you have awesome doctor
I don’t know what to say, Sheryl. I’m sorry it’s so hard. I think about you guys a lot.

More annoying than bad, I guess (unless it really does require surgery). Nerve pain is just so...zappy, like electricity, which is weird as hell.
That sounds bothersome, Steph. Anytime I have issues with back or neck pain my body reminds me how much moving anything else affects them. I get the interconnectedness of all things, but does that have to start with our spinal columns?
Almond butter granola: Here’s a question I saw two lawyers debating on Instagram. If a vampire policeman has a signed warrant, could he enter your house without you giving him permission? (The lawyers disagreed with each other on this.) [link]
What do we think? And would it vary with jurisdiction? The above was US-centric, but what about other countries that have warrants (and, presumably, vampires)?
I say nay. The prohibition is outside the judge's scope.
Agreed, although if a non-vampire cop can enter with the warrant and invite the vampire in I guess that might work?
Hmm... I say no. A warrant is definitely not an invite from the resident.
(One reason I’m selfishly glad women’s sports aren’t more popular…I couldn’t easily afford things like the World Cup if it was men’s pricing!)
All of our tickets are for women's events!
Grace and I went with a friend to see Eileen Harris Norton's collection of art a gallery downtown. I'm sort of obsessed with Harris Norton. I love that she started collecting when she was still a teacher (she talks about going to May Company and how they had a museum on the third floor. She bought a print from Ruth Waddy. I'm blown away with how many beautiful pieces she owns.
Surely they must have answered that question at some point on Forever Knight?
I don't think they had the invitation trope on Forever Knight. The weekly murderous vampire usually wasn't killing people out on the streets.
