It truly sucks that you only find out that opioids don't work until you are in pain. Hope you have no recurrence and the tummy drugs work well. (I can't do opioids at all)

Woot! No braces! Heed dcp's warnings!

meara, maybe consider a wireless fence to keep Rory where he belongs?

When I was a teenager, I wore retainers (top and bottom) for twelve months. That summer, on the flight back to the U.S. for vacation, I took my retainers out to eat dinner, failed to put them back in afterwards, and fell asleep. When I woke up, my tray-table had been cleared, and the retainers were gone. I had to go back to the galley and search through all the trolleys of meal trays to find them.

Agh!

I put my Invisaligns in my bra. This only works if one has a bra, but it works particularly well.

Yikes, Atropa -- I'm glad you're okay, but those are freaky symptoms! I definitely would have gone to the ER, too.

More onerosity finished and/or under way:

Zepbound ordered
Sent message to OB/GYN to ask if I need to be tested/vaccinated for HPV because of Tim's exciting new cancer
Still need to reschedule colonoscopy b/c I accidentally scheduled it the same day as PT (and while I know how important a colonoscopy is, PT appointments are hard to come by—they're seriously overbooked—and my right hip/quad/knee pain is pretty bad)
And, you know, gotta keep working

I'm about to start an hour-long team agreement review meeting. Weep for me.

Weeping for you, Gud, and kermit waving!!!
