I really might do that if there's ever a next time. I wanted to rent one, but they didn't seem to think it was necessary. I think, for me, for another kind of joint surgery maybe not, but spinal surgery feels like something it's reallyyyy necessary for.

Thank you <3 <3 <3

thank you lovely <3 :)

vesperfairchild said: It seems strange they wont allow you to have even a partial adjustable bed for a bit.

RIGHT. I guess just because they don't consider my surgery a super minor one because ACDF is definitely a big surgery, but my neurosurgeon that dominates that ward does a lot bigger ones, so I think they partially just aren't so worried about me as a high priority patient. '

schway-va-jayjay said: LOTS of pillows. If you can get a body pillow, fold it in half. Or get one of those pillow ‘chairs’ that yo can prop in bed, the one that has a top and arms? I suck at describing things. But they work sO well.

I've got a few, but bleh. My friend who had spinal surgery last summer is coming to bring me a chair (i think?) that helped her, so hopefully that'll help during the day at least!

thank you very much :) 

creepykeyla said: You can buy special wedge pillows that keep you elevated without being super uncomfortable. My dad had to use one when he had major spinal surgery because his neck would swell like crazy if he slept lying flat.

YESS, mine's swelling when i'm flat, but at the same time i get so stiff in one position i have to keep switching from various ways of flat, gah.

hinakoumori said: Oh honey, I wish I could help you out. I’ve been throwing up and bedridden all day myself and have even LESS of an idea how to make you feel better, but I figured I’d send you good wishes!

  thank youu <3 I hope you feel better soon if you aren't already! that sounds awful :( :(

  @blaurascon said: Do you have pillows or blankets or anything you can use to prop yourself up while you sleep? Might help a little. Hope you feel better soon!

I do, they're helping a little but not too much. because i keep getting stiff when i can't totally control the angle. i managed to sleep without too much ice or heat last night though, so thats good.

I think they did, but the older guy (I am so bad with names, last name was Carlton I think?) probably helped them and got them to level out a bit? At least, that’s going to be my headcanon.

Just having head-thoughts of them visiting the campus now and again on their offdays to visit the Oozmas, Sulley and Mike askin them how they're doing and watching them work towards the same dream in the more typical way, and them feeling a bit stuck as mailboys or janitors at that moment and not sure if they picked the right path. And Sulley and Mike, while their parents aren't cruel about it, find themselves in a situation where their parents are uncertain and not-quite-as-supportive about their future as they could be, and the Oozmas pile up to pay Mike and Sulley back for all the support those two gave them in their time of doubt, by being the supportive "parent" figures in those moments, the way that Mike and Sulley were to them in freshman year. 

Hugfests and Mike and Sulley finding letters of support and other weird things sent to them via the Monsters Inc mail chute like they were gettin care packages from their moms in college

schway-va-jayjay replied to your post: I'm actually watching MU because of you and all the fanart you do. Question: Did you feel like "WTF" because of how much of a jerk they made Sulley? I get the point, he thinks he's legacy and just can ride his name...but man. I feel so bad for Mike in this! Also, which sorority would you go with if you HAD to join one?

Yeah, I am glad he learned. I guess for me it was a shock compared to how he was in Monster’s Inc. Which? Kind ais awesome because CHARACTER GROWTH.

what i like is sort of trying to reason and trace out why he'd ended up becoming so much quieter and meeker as he aged, and a lot of it I guess is the trauma of being knocked down like a million pegs. You'd expect him to be more of a cocky butthole as a scarer than he was as a kid, but you realize that he had to face a lot of "nope, not gonna happen" before he got to where he wanted to be. I know he kept a pretty chipper outlook as he worked his way up, probably helped by Mike, but man, imagine how it musta been like, kicked outta the scare program, then dropping out of college, then working menial jobs for god knows how long... 

I wonder if they ever got depressed. I know they never had to go through post-college WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE syndrome, but I remember those days hahaha I wonder if they went through anything similar.

I think feeling bad for Mike was the point haha I didn't WTF at Sulley being a jerk at 18, because I've met so many people who were jerks at that age in sort of similar situations? I guess a part of it was that I grew up in a section of Southern California where there it was seriously just...rich white people everywhere. I've seen the sons and daughters of millionaires come in with cocksure attitudes--I have had to DEAL with these people. You know how I did a couple of comics about Sulley and Crisp in the same University101 class? Those were based on real experiences I had. 

I have had to be project partners in a class teaching about critical thinking, politics, and life skills with people juuuust like James P Sullivan. And I have seen them kind of have to realize that maybe they ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON. Then again, I've also seen a lot of them continue on being jerks. But I have seen people improve when reality hits them hard enough, and I think Sulley is supposed to be one of them. 

I mean, his jerkishness is supposed to be offset by the vulnerability he admits and the changes and friendships he makes at the end of the film so...there ya go I guess. 

AS FOR THE SORORITY... Actually probably HSS, if I absolutely HAD to pledge. I was a really fucking terrible mall goth growing up haha, but also the idea that these were the outcasts and the misfits that just managed to find people like them. Angry and don't give a shit what you think. I'd be a-okay with that. Rosie would be my girlfriend.

He turned to see a sleeping woman with an interesting skin pigmentation. base don his state of undress, something intimate occurred, but he couldn't remember what. He nudged her and she begin to stir, "Um..hello again..."
