//I'm trying to get back into writing after working my way through a kinda dark place. So you can find me over on dancingmoonshadow.tumblr.com

Not much over there yet but I'm trying. And I am vowing here and now that there won't be any ooc stuff or dash commentary. Although honestly I am not quite sure if it's just going to be a place for writing or will turn into an rp blog.

It’s taken me awhile of very careful thought, but I’ve decided to completely leave Tumblr.  I’ve had fantastic memories and made some very dear friends while here, but I don’t believe I’m in a place where I feel like I can write.  So for my own health both mental and physical I’ve decided to leave permanently.  

I hope all of you continue to have happy amazing lives.

He shrugged.  “I guess so.  Despite the… strange things we’ve been through over the last couple years, I wouldn’t say it’s been bad necessarily.”

“Bad parts will come eventually.” She shrugged. “That’s just life, y’know?”

“I’d definitely be game for hiking! Go hang out with some trees for a day… We could bring a picnic or something with us, too.”

“That’s a great idea.” She nodded. “Something that doesn’t need to be refrigerated, I think.” She laughed. “At least anything I carry anyway. Ice isn’t much use with me.”

captain-wrench-wench​: 

“Sure! I’d prefer if we did something where there weren’t a lot of people around, but I’m game for hanging out!”

“Not an easy thing in this city.”  She considered for a moment.  “Oh!  We could go hiking?  I haven’t been out in ages.  Or make a reservation for laser tag at one of the places.  Unless y’had some other idea?”

“Didja wanna go out and do somethin’ sometime? Y’know, when you’re not busy with Dad.”

“Not all scientists are dry borin’ nerds. Sometimes y’get gems such as ‘Wolf-Rayet stars live by the creed of live fast, die young and leave a good lookin’ corpse.”

“Wouldn’t it be cool if we could visit all those stars up there?”

“Are y’excessively busy with orders right now?”

tread-the-bear​: 

His gaze was a steady line into the road, the man still as a statue. Silence was easier for him, if his lack of conversational skills had anything to say about it. Silence made it easier to hear someone coming, and easier to clear his thoughts. 

And he wasn’t used to anyone wanting to visit him. “It’s the vantage point,” he answered blandly. “And the quiet, yeah.”

“If you don’t have any reason to be here, then yeah. Go away.” 

Roxy was used to being told to go away. Her general demeanor tended to get on some people’s nerves and she was self aware enough to recognize it. That didn’t mean she intended to change herself to fit the opnions of those around her. So instead of being offended, she laughed. Of course she had told him he could tell her to leave him alone.

“Yes, sir. I hear and obey.” Had he been not been focused exclusively on the road she might have saluted. As it was he probably wouldn’t notice. “See y’around probably.” And without she simply turned and left without any further argument. What good would it do anyway?

I can't get back to sleep. So I started reading about local anesthetic resistance. Apparently it's a highly disputed topic among physicians over if it exists. I’m glad my surgeon believed me about how lidocaine doesn’t work even if he had never heard about it before.

The few studies pointed initially to being related to Ehlers-Danos syndrome until it cropped up in people without it. One doctor studied one patient and found her mother and sister suffered from the same resistance. Turns out they had a genetic mutation/defect in the sodium channels that the drugs use to block pain signals to the brain.

Some people who have this resistance can overcome it by using a different anesthetic instead of the standard lidocaine, others are resistant to all locals. This could be why my second surgery had the bupivocaine not work as effectively as the first time. Or the surgeon just missed the nerves.

“That’s obvious enough.” It seemed she found the magic button to get a real reaction. “Judgin’ by the dreamy look I found y'with.”

He was not quite obviously pouting.  “…just thinking about when I first brought her here,” he said.  “Great day.  Dancing, about three hours in the library, the floating lanterns that night.”

"It's good t'keep good memories." She agreed. "It helps with the times that are bad.". Which inevitably occurred eventually.
