Kes is recovering

[alexxkay]

We're in postop. Doc says she did well and can come home after a bit of rest. She is snoring gently now while I hold her hand. Expect her to be completely out of it for at least a few days, and low on spoons for a few weeks.

Hurrah! Send her our best wishes!

On an unrelated note, do you know from whence the "out of spoons" concept originated? I said something about being low on spoons to Rick the other day, and he stared at me blankly.

Phew! Glad to hear that she's okay!

Fingers crossed. I hope this helps her headaches.

My household appliance is on drugs. Horrible.

I was confused for a few seconds before the old, "Oh wait is that an icon reply" kicked in.
