Thanks for all your kind thoughts and wishes

Everything went well this morning and I'm back home. The procedure ranked as more obnoxious than a gastroscopy/colonoscopy, but much less than a manometry. I'm pretty awake because the doctor used as little anesthesia as possible, although I foresee a long nap in the near future.

My throat is raw and I'm coughing (not a big surprise) and will likely be sore and feverish for a day or two. No instant findings beyond bronchitis/bronchial irritation from the persistent cough - the biopsy may come back with something, but the doctor doesn't hold out much hope. Next up, a potential referral to a cough center in Massachusetts.

I'm going to make a separate post on an upsetting little thing that just popped up in a comm I frequent and then I shall indulge myself by reading the longer stories I've been saving.

If you feel like you need to use language that you might not want to use even under flock, let me know. I definitely have been thinking of you and your reactions to that particular news.

Thanks for the offer. I actually went to that comm before reading my flist to see if there were any fic searches waiting and couldn't believe someone would actually think that would be a fun thing to do.

At this point, I don't care if anyone thinks my post was overreacting. I don't think I'll be feeling any different tomorrow or the day after.
