The Newly Departed thread: announcements (departures)

[Fireball]

Have I fallen through a time warp and been missing longer than I thought?

Weekend.

Monday and Tuesday in surgery.

Nope, my calendar is correct.

Must be the rest of the world that's screwed up.

Well if it makes you feel better I didn't miss you or notice you were gone. I don't notice things are missing until they come back, i need them, or they are found and then I get all huffy about what I'd lost.

I hope you get well soon, Luckie.

Thank you, i apprecuate that.   however I'm pretty sure my life is in the hands of chimps with clipboards. We don't get nice things like actual doctors here in the states, you see.. all of those are moving to Canada!

Are you the one who has been leaving little cameras hidden in my bathroom?

No but I'm pretty sure your kind made me drink a camera last week!
Which.. is far more invasive than a shower creeper IMO. x)

So your poo was looking up at you! Beats a colonoscopy! I hope you're feeling better.

Just a quick head's up for those who threw a wobbly when I was away for a few days earlier this week.

I'm going to be away for a few days, possibly up to ten days, as next week is a really busy one for me.

Don't panic.

Don't travel to planet freak out.

Don't get depressed and do anything drastic.

I WILL be back (take that as a warning if you wish).

oh no!!!!
What are WE going to do without Beccs for 10 whole days!?!?!?!
I think I'm freaking out....
Freaking out...
Freaking!!!!
GAAHAHAHHHHH

How are we now going to keep the creeps at bay?!


And how am I going to get my daily quota of Valk pics???? You'll have to supply me with some 20 pics after this! Or a video... I hear you have a new phone with a capable camera.

Rocking fetal position.

[Mystical]

Fireball everything beats a colonoscopy, so..

Thanks for the well wishes though.   Honestly the horrors I have faced between my last post and this one is quite substantial and I'm heavily traumatized from it. More so than usual hospitalizations. It'll take me a few days to get out of the fetal position, and more to process and respond in kind.

And to top it off, without Becca around to give a hard time.. I will most likely be scarce for awhile. Of course..  y'all don't ever notice when I leave, so I figure you'll be just fine! ^_*

Be good. Don't drink and drive. Wake up and smell the roses. I hope you dance. Don't worry, be happy, ET phone home, and all those other humaney things one says when they depart! 

Au revoir mes amies

It's the prep for a colonoscopy that is a fucking nightmare.

BTDT.

Steady man, steady.  You'll just have to give thanks for the photos you already have.  But the scalpel like application of wit we've come to know and enjoy .. that we'll have to wait for.

I'm in I'm out I'll be around a bit, then I have another colo-rectal surgery the week after next. Yay. Prep for that is the same as a colonoscopy if I do recall, so, I hit the unlucky surgical procedures lottery again, Vorlon!

I don't know if I should be thankful to medicine in general that I'm still alive or horrified at the lengths at which they end up taking to keep people alive, or peeved at the mistakes that are made during these processes that require a double (triple in my case) of the same surgery?

either way I'm exhausted

Not the best time for surgery, having been septic most of last month, but have no choice. With a constant source of infection now I'll never heal without the surgery. Never been this weak. Never! Still pondering why I was sent home from hospital so anemic that I need a blood transfusion? Glad I fired those people and will be at a competent hospital for surgery. Talking aloud now. Just wanted u guys to know if I don't come back by football season to give Tibs and Chtulhu shit.. that's probably what's up.
I see each and every one of you in my daily life. From Whateverist in the gardens I run across online or out my window-- to thumpers in classical guitar praces to cool science shit that Steel ad Poca and and all the other science fiends might like. I see Ivy in the red sunsets, the ones like margaritas that are the same red color of her lipstick, and i hear her and all the smart ladies on this site whose collective voices yell with me in my imagination when I read about LGBT rights and or international affairs fueled by religion.  When chaplains enter my room and try to hold my hand despite my succinct request that they dont, I definitely hear Min's "blow it out your ass" key phrase.
I guess I'm thankful that even though I come and go, you're still here. The forum. In all its glory, good or bad, getting along or not--we are all tied here as one big community. I'm proud to be part of this community, and I certainly expect to see you all again after surgery. Peace.
