Unrelated to your post, I watched the Misfit ep with the milk guy. D: What a great show! I went from "Wow, most worthless power ever" to "...okay, wow, what an outstanding use of a power!".
I LOVE the whole time travel element of the show. If it were some kind of "And it was all just a dream!" thing it would be annoying, but with time travel it totally works. SO BASICALLY THE WHOLE EP JUST NEVER HAPPENED! All the stuff in it! Simon finding out about future Simon! Arg!
YES. That's what I love about the show. The powers are bizarre, and in a lot of cases you sit there and think, "Man, that's... stupid." But they come up with really clever ways of making things interesting, or even terrifying. Seriously, wasn't that guy just creepy as all hell? You have the obvious "cool" powers of, like, teleportation or healing or whatever. But milk-kinesis? How retarded, right? OR IS IT?!
Simon is adorable. In a creepy, but lovable sort of way. I still love Nathan as my favorite, he's such a fantastic twat. As I said though, he leaves, with bummed me out so bad for awhile. I can't stand Rudy. Which... I like. The fact that you can actually not like characters means they have personality and character. Rudy annoys the everliving fuck out of me, but he's nonetheless interesting. And since Nathan left Kelly is totally my favorite.
But yessssss... it's such a weird/awesome show! As generic as it sounds (random group of people who mysteriously obtain superpowers!) it's probably one of the most creative things I've
*laughs* Exactly that! And I'd be happy for a power like that, even so little/stupid! I wouldn't kill people with it! Arg!
We're kind of opposites. I really, really didn't like Nathan. At all. He annoyed the heck out of me, and seemed to have no redeeming qualities. Rudy is like Nathan with a kinder side. I didn't like him in the beginning of the first ep of season three, but by the end of the ep I really liked him a lot. I loved seeing his "softer" side. And it was really interesting to see how he acted towards that side of him.
Kelly made me grin. She picked Rocket Scientist as her power and got LITERALLY that! Ha!
I hope season three picks up. The first ep (as far as I've watched so far) was the first one that felt slow. Took forever to get through it (I had to check and make sure it wasn't a special two hour one or something).
I've got to say, after three(?) unsuccessful surgeries at this point, the adrenalectomy is what I lean towards with my minimum of knowledge as well. Get it done so that you're not facing this yet again in another two or three years. It's pretty clear you're going to be on medication for life one way or another, so why not pick the option that will at least get rid of the Cushing's for good? Obviously your mom's input should be more important than me or Thistle's, but given how relieved I would be to have this taken care of for good, I can only imagine the joy it would be for you who is actually going through it. And let me tell you, it will be so much better from a parenting perspective if you can not be fatigued and in chronic pain as you go into the toddler phase and beyond. What you're doing now is in many ways the easy part. You're going to want to be able to run around and play with Kassie!
Yeah, that's pretty much my thinking exactly. While I understand the medical risks of the adrenalectomy (from what I've read it's not uncommon to end up in the ER once or twice a year, especially while you're getting the hang of adjusting medication to sickness/stress/whatever) I still think it sounds better to be able to live a relatively normal life where I know what to expect from day to day and year to year. One way or another I'm going to have something to deal with for the rest of my life. Better to have something I can control than to be at the mercy of whatever happens.
And, yeah, that's the other big reason I want to do this. I already feel like I've missed a bunch of Kassie's stuff because I don't feel good. I don't want to miss more. I'm 25, I should be able to take her places and do things with her. I don't want to lose whole years of my life because I have to deal with this crap recurring every few years.

Definitely this. Sometimes I wonder if I should have skipped on the whole kids thing, not because I don't love them and enjoy having them in my life, but because I'm able to do so little with and for them. If you can reclaim some semblance of health, you need to do it so you don't have to tell your four year old she can't climb on you or sit in your lap because it hurts too much.

Seriously, it seems like the least annoying of all the issues, and then at least you'd know it's gone for good.
*hugs!*
