Crummiest Anniversary Ever

[shadowravyn]

Today is my "One Year Hospital-Free" anniversary. As anniversaries go, it's kind of lamesauce (which is a fun word, btw). Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to pieces I can celebrate it, but getting excited that I've spent a whole 365 days not in the hospital is really kind of depressing. It's like celebrating Arbor Day and Flag Day; sure, there's a

Congrats on one year.

Just FYI, naturopathic medicine has an excellent track record in reversing UC (yea, mainstream medicine says it cant be done, but they suck at all chronic conditions). If you want, I can find some good ones in your area if you want to talk to any.

You going to be at NEFE or at Philcon?

[shadowravyn]

Nope. I'm conless till Intercon this year.

I've long been a fan of "weaksauce," but I find "lamesauce" to be, well... unimpressive, as a term.

I am not prepared to offer any useful or interesting thoughts on the meat of your post on the internet.

It is the natural opposite of awesomesauce, which also has internet cachet.

I'm just glad I'm still resisting 'totes.'

Bravo for a year! I would say that "not being hospitalized" is a much better anniversary than "getting captured and executed for treason," so you're already way ahead of some people

If you lick a painted snowplow it'll be cold but not otherwise disastrous. If you lick the exposed metal part when it's freezing cold, your tongue will stick to it.

If you lick something that's merely nicknamed 'snowplow,' I don't think anything but your sexual identity is actually in danger.

I think I get it. When I pick up my neighbor's 2-year old and flip her upside down, I pay for it the next day. I'm very independent, and I hate that I need help to do things I used to be able to do. Which reminds me, I need to poke someone to help me carry things down to the basement.

Congrats on the one year of health. I can't wait for another one year span of no back problems.

Everything you have said here is something that speaks to me. We may have different illnesses but a lot of what we deal with is similar.

Again. Happy Lamesaversary (PS I think you should totally blow something up... I mean something that is supposed to be blown up of course, like a firecracker)
