My elbow is pretty much back to normal now. It still stings when I bump it against stuff, so it's not 100% recovered, but there hasn't been any further swelling or anything. I'm going to call it good

I hope that when I start getting those somewhat unrecoverable things that I can approach them with the humor and good grace that my Grandmother does.

She is 77 years old and she's had surgeries on her back, ankle, knees and feet plus a full mastectomy of both breasts and removal of all the lymph nodes in the upper chest area. She's had some things replaced in those surgeries, and has the special fake-boob bra thing made for women who've had mastectomies that she wears when she dresses up.

She's fond of saying "Getting old is no problem. If anything stops working, I just have it removed or replaced" and then she laughs.

And she's doubly fond of saying "Well, I have the breasts of an 18 year old. I just take them off at night and keep them in my nightstand."

I like your grandmother. :)

And there was no double entendre in that last bit at all. Nope. ;>

[gentleman_lech]

Nope, not from me. ;)

I'm glad you said so; perhaps I'm just too sleep-deprived to be doing complicated things like reading people's LiveJournals, but I totally failed to see it that way. It's better, though, that I do; it nicely cancels out the goth mortality-contemplation bit.

Still I have to say, GL, that you're slacking a bit on the second half of your name there.

Would it make you feel better if I asked for naked pictures to make me feel better about my mortality?
