Dispatch from the front

[t_verano]

I remain present, for now, mostly by my absence -- does that even make sense? Probably not. Much of the time I feel like I'm trying to dance with two left feet while being unable to hear the music, so my available level of sense at any given moment is rarely a thing of beauty or a joy forever

No need to answer if you don't have the oomph, but I just wanted to send you Blair-energy and big ol' Jim-hugs. *smish* Good to see you, toots, and glad the radiation is behind you. <3

[t_verano]

It's so very delightful to see you! Sending you back hugs and smishes and good energy all over the place. :-))

xoxoxoxoxo!!!

ETA: you got me all nostalgic and I've been reading J/S all week! re-read New <3 <3 <3 "Blair being, in theory, the higher primate." heh. And I just finished Brooke Henson's The Eighth Day. omg, epic.

[t_verano]

Yay for nostalgia! :-) (I still freak out a bit that New seems to have such staying power, but it makes me happy that you enjoy it :-)). I love that TS has so much unfading treasure, covering absolutely every point of the writing compass, whatever you might be in the mood for. Several points of that compass of which you've covered so perfectly yourself - most especially all the real and adult and thinky and REAL angst. And the crack. *pets all that richness joyfully*

Consider yourself hugged right back, sweetie. I think of you often, wondering how you're doing, so I really appreciate the update.

[t_verano]

I keep thinking about emailing you and then I get derailed, bad me. It was absolutely lovely to see you in Chat last weekend - I hope you were able to fend off that migraine before it got too solid a hold on you!

[caarianna]

Yeah, I staved off the migraine (was air pressure related; it's been a terrible summer for bouncing air pressure, heat and humidity). Fell a few weeks ago, might have compression fracture of lower spine. Docs are all afraid to order good pain meds now because of opiod crisis so it's not good. Whole left leg, especially hip, knee, tibia, ankle and foot are in constant state of deep relentless aching broken only by sudden shafts of stark agony. Lol, I'm already fed up and it may be weeks before it heals. However, I'm cognizant that as problems go, this one is relatively minor in the great scheme of things.

Seriously, how are you? Where are you? When do you begin the next phase of treatment? I think about you all the time and send the best healing thoughts I can. ::hugs::

[t_verano]

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry about your fall and all the pain you're in! Pain is *not* a relatively minor problem, IMHO. I wish (what's a more powerful word than wish?) that you could get useful pain meds to see you through this

[jadebear07]

Oh, T. I've thought about you often, especially when I see the Canadian geese swimming in a submerged field. So glad to see your update. Just take your time and be good to you. A million plus infinity hugs and love your way.

[t_verano]

JB, hearing from you is just pure joy! (And I love so much that you think of me when you see Canada geese :-)) Hope you can feel me sending you a million hugs and happy thoughts!

[bluewolf458]

Just you be careful, don't try to do too much (though I think you have too much sense to try doing too much) and know that we're all thinking of you. We miss you.

[t_verano]

Dear Sheila! I love thinking of you in your happy Scottish solitude and your beautiful country, and love reading the posts you make about the world around you, whenever the stars align properly and I achieve some LJ reading. (And nope, I don't push myself too hard these days. :-))

[unbelievable2]

Hey, baybee! Lovely to see you back here however briefly! The thought of your pain and those pain meds is a tough one - I am so sorry that you are having such hard times, but hooray that the radiation is behind you. And yay for the zen zone, may you drift through this tough time on a cloud of gentleness, with hugs all round from me and everyone.

*squashes you with so much love*

(which, okay, sounds a bit violent, but is meant in the absolutely mostest and bestest nonviolent way :-))
