It's a little early, but i want to wish everyone a wonderful and Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukah, a Joyous Kwaanza, and a bright and beautiful New Year! You are all my online family and you have given me much joy and purpose over the years. i hope everyone is enjoying the new board and will continue to come here often and have fun together.


i've been putting off this part, but you deserve to know why Blue, who haunts this place at all hours of the day and night, is suddenly not around. i'm going into the hospital tomorrow for surgery (right before Christmas. Niiiiice, right?) so you might not see me for a while after today. i might be high on drugs and not want to turn on the TV let alone the computer, or i might be so bored that i come in here looking for distraction as soon as i can move, lol. i vote for the latter! Just think good thoughts for me, please?


i give control of the board to Roadbuster (even though he's not around for a few days either, lol) and i give control to LightSlayer until Roady comes back, lol. Anyway, i know you'll all pull together and take care of the board, and i thank you for that.


May this holiday season and the coming new year be filled with all things merry and bright for you and yours.

{{{HUGS}}} to LS, Star, Seph, Dread and Holy... thanks for your good wishes, they always help. :)


It went better than i thought, although there was a delay in the actual surgery being done. (my surgeon wasn't happy with that, lol... but neither was i!) i was at Radiology for pre-op marking at 8am, then hung around the hospital (reading magazines cover-to-cover to TRY and not think about it) until 12:30. THEN i sat in a hospital gown (hate those things) for what seemed like forever (and it was!) but the actual operation was maybe 40 minutes and i was awake enough to look at the clock at 3:21pm... And i got pain meds as soon as i was awake enough to ask!

They used what they call 'twilight sleep' for anesthesia, and one of the chattier nurses said they had to use lidocaine as well to numb the area because 'twilight sleep' just puts you under enough so that you don't REMEMBER the operation ...or pain... But she said they'd know if there was any pain because i would move or groan even while asleep, and might even talk to them without remembering later. (LMAO!!! With my sense of humor, i can just imagine what came out of my mouth! "Okay, who's got the cold hands?" "You sure you're in the right spot, right?" "Somebody put on some RockNRoll music! ...or at least a Polish Polka..." )


all in all, it wasn't as horrific as i was expecting, plus the nurses were wonderful and competent and took time to talk with you so i didn't feel like a piece of meat on an assembly line, and recovery is going a lot smoother than when i had the bunion operation (BEFORE BUNION: "whadayamean i can't walk for 8 weeks??" AFTER BUNION: "where's the meds??? where's the TV remote???" ) but due to the holidays i won't be getting the results of testing for a few days yet.

i took a lot of naps the first few days, lol, but i didn't take the pain meds after i came home; the pain wasn't all that bad. ...and i know i'm healing; the itching is driving me mad! :lol

Now i have a huge list of things i NEED to get done, so hopefully i'll be out and about soon.



oh, and i hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

What did everyone get?

HARHARHAR ...i hope you got a better present than THAT!


maybe Blue needs some upgrades for the new year? i'll have to think about that. i once found a pencil/ink drawing on Deviant Art of a race car with the name 'Blue Phoenix' written right on the car. i wish i could find it again! Blue could have an extra altmode!
