OOC -- Urgh.

[changehistory]

Beautiful day, winding my way down beautiful mountain looking at the beautiful Lake. It was cold enough the snow was still powder, not slush, but warm enough that I wasn't at all cold. I nailed my turns, my parallels were tight, I even managed a few moguls.

And then an out of control snowboarder hit me from behind on a steep blue slope, knocking me down the mountain and slamming his board into my ribs.

The verdict: 4 broken ribs and a partially collapsed lung.

The treatment: Massive amounts of pain killers, rest, and making sure to not rest so much I don't at least wander a bit to be upright and moving. Nothing much else they can do for the ribs--they have to heal themselves and most important is that I keep taking deep breaths (thus massive painkillers, cause, um, breathing HURTS) to avoid pneumonia. The lung is more worrisome, but it's such a small collapse at the moment that the surgery to reinflate it would be more risky than letting it heal itself. But I have to be on watch for several things that mean the collapse has gotten worse.

So, um. Probably out of commission on plotty thngs for a few days, 'cause Bria + massive pain meds = cracky, scary, loopy girl. Crack, however, always welcome, if I'm not passed out. Which I feel about to do, my head is spinning so much.

Just another one of those "*SIGH*" things where for those threads I'm not tagging, it's not because I've lost interest or don't want to--they probably just require some thought and a response I just can't give right now while on narcotic pain killers. I haven't forgotten anyone. I'm not ignoring anyone.

I'm just having one of those weeks.

Just take care of yourself. I know that is all anyone asks.

*hugs*

I've just been so busy, I know I'm letting things lapse and lag. Now this will knock me even further. *sighs*

[eternityticking.livejournal.com]

Sweetie, take your time. No one is going to rush you. You need to be better, the rp can wait. You're so much more important than rp.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*hugs* I just hate feeling like I'm letting people down.

[eternityticking.livejournal.com]

Sure as hell isn't me. And I mean that. You get well, we'll let rp simmer if we have to.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*hugs tight*

[eternityticking.livejournal.com]

*hugs ever so gently and protects you from people*

*snuggles*

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I'll second that. You're not letting us down. You're in pain and you need to take care of yourself first. Don't worry about us. We'll be here when you feel better.

*loves on you* *gently*

You look after you, first. You know I don't care about rushing things. And if anybody does try to rush you, I'll thump 'em.

The icon is for Adam. I had to promise I'd take it down when you were healed up. LOL

*snuggles*

I'm working on it. kitties snuggling is good, too. *hugs for thumping*

Adam likes the icon. A lot. So do I. *head tilt*

[gotbottle]

Kitties snuggling is always awesome. And maybe the thumping would seem more menacing coming from the Rani's journal rather than Rachel's. LOL But the sentiment is the same.

I happen to like the icon too. She's completely unconvinced. She's somewhere between "If my mom saw that she'd kill me" and "Oh my gosh, is that one of those things you smack a horse with? Why is that sexy?"

*sighs* I blame the bad parenting. Far too trusting of strangers, far too unwilling to allow cheesecake photos... ;)

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*G* I can imagine so. :-)

HEEE. Adam could tell her that in absolute detail....

*giggles, pets her*

[gotbottle]

Oooh. She'd enjoy that, I suspect. Because of course whatever he says, goes. Mostly. LOL

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I'm not sure how much she'd enjoy it, but he can make pain sound amazingly hot.

[gotbottle]

I'm in so much trouble for typing this, but she might surprise him. We've been having those "proclivities" talks. ;)

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Oh really?

[gotbottle]

Oh, really. *solemn nod* :)

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[gotbottle]

*laughs* I'm glad he's so appreciative. ;)

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Very much so.

[gotbottle]

Duly noted.

[itsjustbob.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I remember my stint on anti-inflammatories, they made me loopy the first few days.

Get better, and heal up! Health comes first you know!

The internet will still be here when you come back. :D

[hornrimmed.livejournal.com]

OH SHIT! *hugs gently, around the waist* I hope you feel better soon. Don't worry about any of our stuff. I can definitely wait. *smooch*

[enjoythe_ride]

What everyone else up there said. Take your time, and get better. That's more important.

[teleparkman.livejournal.com]

*hugs tight, but not tight enough to hurt the ribs* Poor baby. Want me to kill someone?
