"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
6 September 2004Good for what ails meVery seldom in life are the words "Oh, look, a rupture!" an indication of good news. But if there's one thing I've learned, it's that "very seldom" hardly ever means "never," and well, that infamous Second Infection I mentioned yesterday has opened up on its own and is draining its contents. (More than that, you don't want to know.) Assuming this pattern holds for the next few days, I won't have to sweat the possibility of surgery. On the other hand, this will force the rescheduling of my knee operation, but that's no surprise; stuff like that gets cancelled even if all you have is a case of the sniffles.

(On that ruptures well, no less) So pray for Charles's quick recovery. In his convalescence, he has written us a very clever parody.......[read more] Well, that needed a Not Safe For Those Who Just Ate warning. Disgusting or not, I hope you're feeling better soon. Posted by: michele at 5:31 PM on 6 September 2004I agonized over the wording for a whole ten minutes, trying to convey the sheer splendiferousness of it all without using too many Extremely Specific terms. It would appear I was not entirely successful. Posted by: CGHill at 5:42 PM on 6 September 2004Hey, at least you didn't put up a picture. I'll give you that much. Posted by: michele at 5:57 PM on 6 September 2004A handful of folks to whom I sent links to a page describing the situation are no doubt, even as I type, estimating what the price of their silence will be. As one who has gone through: two tooth extractions due to abscesses I not only sympathize, I empathize. Posted by: Andrea Harris at 6:56 PM on 6 September 2004I really want to know! But I do realize that it's none of my business. So don't tell me - but I do care, in that morbidly curious way of mine. Posted by: Dan & Angi at 12:15 AM on 7 September 2004As for knee surgery and infections, my wee wifey is rapidly completing her intended list of piercings and tattoos so that all are healed in time for the replacement scheduled for next February. Posted by: triticale at 7:40 AM on 7 September 2004There is a bit of idiom out here that describes the act of reproaching someone forcefully: "He tore me a new one." Let us say merely that this is not entirely metaphor, and leave it at that. "Tore me a new one" To coin a phrase, "Ouch." Posted by: McGehee at 11:08 AM on 7 September 2004OmG.
