Done.

Best of luck to you all, I am sure this is a bit nerve-wracking. I hope everything is resolved and you can move on soon.

My grandfather did that once. I'd never that man cry before.

According to that website, it is all done under anesthesia and shouldn't be too painful if you become a donor. Maybe the procedure has improved since your grandfather donated?

Stark,

My sincere thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Stay strong my friend and keep every thought positive when possible. Like it or not, you are on my prayer list.

Credence Fudge Foot Junior,

Count your blessings duder. Usually "money" issues take years (and court) to sort out. I know that me saying that is less than a pat on the back from a stranger, but you being able to wash your hands of financial "junk" so quickly is something rare. Please keep remaining close to friends and family during this shit storm that rained on you.


Frown:

Dinner plans were set with friends for 7:30pm. Received a call around ten minutes ago that no one was ready to leave their house. I've already eaten, so fine by me (I'm just going for conversation, company, and a corona), but I hate when my friends are not prompt.

He didn't do it under anesthesia. It wasn't for donation. It for some tests but still the same procedure. For me it's the concept of someone sticking a needle in my bone that scares me. :P

Smile: Last night was something else. This morning should be fun as well.

Smile: No hang over!

Frown: While sitting in a crowded room I inadvertently received an elbow to my right eye. I've taken plenty of elbows to the face, but man, eyeballs are super sensitive and it's still sore.

Not sure if smile or frown.

This morning I had this dream where I was Superman, or a Superman-like person. And I was still coming in to my powers. I thought I had stopped the initial alien invasion, but then when I'm riding a bus with my sister (which was not my RL sister) suddenly I see a few metal slivers strike her in the arm. Then I turn around and see a larger number of them flying at her, and I put out my hand to stop them from hitting her. So now my hand is full of these metal spike things, and it hurts. Then another volley comes, and I block them with my back, and my body is pretty much completely riddled. I black out. I wake up a bit later screaming on a gurney, and it progresses between blackouts while they're being removed.

Then I wake up and my legs still hurt, but I realize it's because one of my kitties has been sleeping on the back of my legs and must have cut off some circulation.
