lb_leeI was able to recline and take a nap today! And I haven't needed nearly as many pills. So we wanted to say thank you to all the wonderful people who've been helping us through all this:
minoanmiss for making me chicken soup and bringing it to my door, even though it is cold out there and I know she has a lot on her plate. My stomach is starting to accept proper food again!
grahamlore , runeroot , and their household for the care package of food they gave me on the first day. As stressful and tumorous as this business has been, it's been a relief to know that food will not be a problem.
storyheight for watching Atlantic Rim 2 with me, despite being in a different state and me being too doped to be any technological help at all. Bad movies with good friends: what more could I ask for?
Genius Cat Owner, for surprising me with a gift of books so even though screens are giving me trouble, I have not been bored! I finished the Disabled God, now for Matrix or Even Though I Knew the End!
sinistmer , for the lovely surprise card.
marzicastella for medical advice.
Double thanks to my roommates for taking me to the ER, filling my Rxs, taking me home from surgery, helping me get up and down, and just being generally kind and firmly helpful, even when pain was taking out my sanity.
And thanks to all of you who've sent well-wishes and congratulations. If I deserve the kind, caring friends I've got, I must be a helluva guy. Growing up, being incapacitated this way was terrifying, and it's been a moving experience to realize that it doesn't have to be a nightmare, to realize that no, I have great people in my corner that I can rely on. This experience had the potential to be absolutely traumatizing, and that it wasn't is because of all of you. I have not been alone in this at all; on the contrary, this surgery has made me more aware of the web of relationships I am tied into, and it's a wonderful feeling.
You guys are the best. Thank you. <3
