With the introduction of flexible raiding a certain conversation is cropping up again. It's a conversation about raid lockouts. Back when LFR was first introduced during Dragon Soul, quite a few players began to argue that they felt forced to run LFR in addition to the raid itself. Then, as we moved into Mists of Pandaria raiding, this discussion intensified. I had my own opinion on the issue, which was basically that no, raid finder should not share a lockout with normal mode raiding. Luckily, Blizzard didn't do that, coming up with other ways to reduce LFR's desirability for people who run normal/heroic raids.
Now, with flexible raiding, the argument that it should share a lockout with normal/heroic raids is being resurrected because again players are afraid they will be forced to run it. I'm opposed to this idea for a variety of reasons.
- Sharing the lockout between flexible raiding and normal/heroic raiding means that if you choose to step down to flex for a night because you were short people, you'll either be locked into flex or you'll need to be able to switch back and forth between them. Either players will be punished for going flex, or they'll be using it to bypass encounters that are 'too hard' on normal. This isn't meant to be a means to game raid difficulty.
- Sharing the lockout between 10 and 25 man raiding nearly killed 25 man raiding. A shared lockout between flexible raiding and normal raids would probably be enough to finish the job, because as 25 man guilds lost members and made use of the flexible raid to keep running, there would be very little incentive to recruit and less incentive for new players to join.
- Flex raiding is being rolled out to test the waters - we have no idea how the final implementation will shake out. Burdening it with a shared lockout adds a further complication which isn't needed at this time. For all we know, flexible raiding will be how all raids work in the next expansion. Even if it isn't, we need to give it time before we make it jump through more hoops.
- People need to stop begging Blizzard to keep them from playing the game.
It's not flexible if you won't bend
If there's one thing Blizzard has proved with Mists of Pandaria it's that they were serious about making raid finder optional for normal raiders. I barely ever run the thing. Sometimes I say to myself "Hey, me (I call myself me because I know who I am) let's go run LFR for some valor, maybe a tank offset piece, and giggles." And then I go do exactly that. Usually, though, I don't bother - with drops for the various legendary quests shared between normal/heroic and LFR, I don't need to run LFR for anything. I can, if I want - if I'm bored, if some friends are going, if I want to flex my DPS or do some tanking to keep my hand in. I have the option.
With the track record Blizzard has demonstrated this expansion with LFR vs. normal, when they say you won't need to run flexible raiding I believe them. At this point, if you are in a raid group that's forcing you to run LFR in order to progress in normal raids, they're probably just wrong. Again, in some edge cases (if you intend to try and kill the entire new raid as soon as it comes out so you can do heroic fights as soon as they open) you might actually benefit from LFR. But considering that LFR is staggered release, that it opens in stages and that usually guilds like that are already clearing normal by the time LFR finishes opening, it truly isn't necessary to run LFR for gear to clear normal raids.
Blizzard's statements on flexible raiding indicate that all the mechanisms that keep LFR optional will be used in the new feature.
Nethaera - A Raid For All Seasons: Flexible Raid Preview
We plan to unlock the Flexible Raid difficulty in wings, similar to Raid Finder, but on an accelerated timetable. This new difficulty also has a separate Raid lockout from Raid Finder and Normal difficulty, allowing you to take part in all three if you so desire. You'll also be able to complete portions of your "Glory of the Orgrimmar Raider" raid meta- achievement in Flexible mode as well as in Normal or Heroic to earn cosmetic rewards such as an epic mount. This will allow Raid groups the opportunity to switch off nights between raids to complete achievements. Finally, taking part in Flexible, Normal, or Heroic difficulty will provide access to additional rewards that won't be available in Raid Finder.
The mere fact that the flexible raid will unlock in wings means it won't be necessary. By the time the entire raid is unlocked, guilds that need the gear to progress in the new raid (guilds that push progression) will already have better gear options, and at most will be running flexible raids to fill one or two slots that haven't gotten lucky yet with a piece of gear that's 'good enough' until the normal mode drop happens. And let me be clear - not only don't I have a problem with that being possible, I think it's good for everyone. Letting players get something is in fact better than forcing them to raid with a trinket from normal MSV for months because they just can't get lucky.
If a player who raids currently runs LFR because he's stuck with a bad or outdated trinket, or weapon, I'm fine with that. If a current raider runs LFR because she wants to get her tank set fleshed out and hasn't gotten all the pieces from the normal raid yet because she's a DPS and the tanks still need pieces, that's good. Forcing players to pick one or the other takes a means for them to improve out of their hands, gives them less chances to customize themselves they way they want to, and creates stratification among players that isn't necessary or useful. And it's not fun.
That last part is the most important part, by the way.
At what point do you want someone else to come play for you too?
Flex raiding isn't intended (in this implementation, at least) to replace normal raids. Whether you raid 10 or 25, this doesn't exist to take the place of that. The gear won't be as good (better than LFR, admittedly) and it won't open all at once. If you're looking to become a fifteen man raiding guild, flex raiding won't stop you from doing that, but it won't replace the raids either - it means you'll have made the choice to raid at a size that gets you rewards that are less powerful. But you can do that, if you want to.
And that's wonderful in my eyes because it's the definition of optional. You can do it, if you want to. There are incentives built into the game that make normal raiding at the 10 or 25 man size the optimal gear progression, but if you're less concerned about gear than just raiding with the 12 or so people in your guild and not having to bench any of them, you can bring all 12 and run a flex raid. It's not ideal, but it's tenable. And what's more, by allowing guilds that have a steady roster to explore flexible raids and still keep their progression raiding, you allow players to make choices.
Do you want to gear up some alts? Bring six or seven geared mains (a couple of tanks, some healers maybe) and then flex the rest. Those mains may get a shot at some nice offspec gear, the alts get geared up. It's exactly what 25 man raiders did in Wrath of the Lich King with 10 man raids and while I understand why 10 man only groups didn't like it, it was a spar that kept 25 mans afloat in the face of their logistical and raid difficulty hurdles. With this change, struggling normal raid groups of either size get another bite of the apple, a chance to get something in a week, and frankly that's a good thing overall. As long as Blizzard keeps the gear rewards of lower quality and makes it so you don't have a chance for stuff like legendary quest drops from both, then flexible raiding will remain something you can do, rather than becoming something you should do.
Those of us who raided in Wrath remember Trial of the Crusader and the problem of having to run it four times a week in some cases. I understand why people think that was too much, because I thought that was too much. But that problem was probably solved twice. It was solved when heroic mode was switched from a separate instance to a toggle (Trial of the Crusader had a whole separate heroic version of the raid, whereas future raids would have a toggle you could flip on a boss by boss basis - you couldn't run the same boss on normal and on heroic) and then it was solved again when 10 and 25 man raids were given a shared lockout. One of those two solutions would have worked fine to curb the problem of running ToTC 4 times in a week, both of them was overkill.
So too with flexible raiding. If the gear isn't as good, if you can't get legendary rewards, and the flexible raid opens in stages rather than all at once, normal mode raiders will never need to run it to progress. It will be a nice benefit, a chance at some extra gear to fill a few errant spots or gear up an offspec, a way to have fun with friends. If a guild forces its members to run it for progression, that will be the fault of that guild and its myopic mentality that gear trumps skill, especially when the gear isn't even as good as what you'd get just clearing what you could in normal. And if you feel personally that a flexible raid is too much raiding in a week, don't do it. As I said, I almost never run LFR, and I don't feel like Blizzard could have done any more to give me that freedom not to than they have. They appear as committed to flexible raiding being optional.
That leaves the decision in our hands. How committed are we to controlling our own play? We're seeing a remarkable commitment to flexibility from Blizzard - how flexible are we?

A few gems on a lackluster schedule
While this college football weekend doesn't have as many marquee matchups as last week, a win or a loss on Sept. 23 goes in the same column as one on Sept. 16.
A few conferences have schedules that are heavy with league games. The Pac-10 features four conference matchups - Oregon is off and Oregon State takes on former coach Dennis Erickson and his Idaho Vandals.
It's a big weekend in the Big Ten. Ohio State-Penn State and Michigan State-Notre Dame are two of the bigger games nationally. Inside the conference, Wisconsin finds out how good it is when the Badgers face Michigan.
In the SEC, there are only two conference games. Florida takes on Kentucky after winning at Tennessee, and Alabama and Arkansas face off in a Western Division tilt. Other SEC schools take on nonconference foes like Marshall, Buffalo, Tulane, Florida Atlantic and UAB.
Syracuse vs. Miami (Ohio) - the Orange against the RedHawks - might be the most colorful contest featuring a Big East team this week. We're all waiting for the West Virginia-Louisville showdown on Nov. 2.
The lone Big 12 matchup could be a preview of the conference championship game. The defending national champion Texas Longhorns play host to Iowa State. While UT is the favorite to win the South, the Cyclones are one of the teams hoping to win the wide-open North.
In a lineup of less-than-stellar games featuring ACC teams, Boston College-N.C. State gets the spotlight. Will the Wolfpack continue to struggle? Will B.C. work overtime again? Those questions and more are analyzed in our weekly conference previews.

H. 2 1/16 in. (5.2 cm)
Rogers Fund, 1918 (18.145.20)
Small votive figurines of Harpokrates (the infant Horus) are common, especially in Egypt, where he was an important deity in popular religion. He wears the pschent (the double crown of the Two Lands of Egypt) and carries a cornucopia in his left arm. He is shown with his forefinger to his lips, a pose that dates back to the New Kingdom in the Late Bronze Age. It was interpreted by Roman writers as signifying secrecy with regard to the mysteries of the Isis cult.

So John Key has decided hat there will be a loyalty bonus for Kiwis who hold their privatised SoE shares for a period of time.
I've been around politics for a while and capital markets for even longer. And I know a subsidy when I see one.
The loyalty bonus will be paid for through a discounting of the market value of the shares. So the people with the wealth to buy shares (not a high percentage) get them cheaper than they would otherwise be worth. So who pays for that. Either power users if it is an internal company arrangement or more likely taxpayers who end up getting less for the shares than they would otherwise be worth.
Bit like Keys tax cuts really. Wealth transfer from most kiwis to the rich. But then that is why Key is in politics.

A Brooklyn eatery that has benefited from the city's tourism efforts took center stage as Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the success of the city's tourism efforts in 2009, as well as kicking off two upcoming promotions designed to encourage travelers to choose New York for a winter getaway.
The mayor told a throng of journalists – gathered at the Greenhouse Café, 77th Street and Third Avenue, in Bay Ridge – that in 2009, for the first time since 1990, New York was the "most popular" travel destination in the United States, topping both Orlando, Florida, and Las Vegas, Nevada, to claim the tourism crown.
"The next thing you know, maybe Mickey Mouse is going to be moving to the Big Apple," Bloomberg quipped as he recounted the statistics compiled by NYC & Company.
But, major league mouse or no, the city continues to devise ways to attract tourists.
This winter, for example, there are two promotions that the administration hopes will draw visitors from far and near: NYC: The Real Deal, running through February 28th, in which upwards of 200 attractions, restaurants and shops citywide will be offering special discounts; and New York City's Restaurant Week, January 25th through February 7th,during which participating eateries will be offering $24.07 three-course lunches and $35 three-course dinners.
While Brooklyn traditionally holds its own Restaurant Week in the spring, three borough chowhouses will be participating in the Real Deal: The Greenhouse Café, La Piazzetta at 442 Graham Avenue; and Pete's Downtown Restaurant, at 2 Water Street.
Participants for Restaurant Week had not been announced as this paper went to press.
In all, said the mayor, the city welcomed 45.25 million tourists last year, including 8.6 international visitors, "Outdrawing our nearest rival, Los Angeles, by a ratio of two to one." That number of tourists added significantly to the city's bottom line; the visitors accounted for "an incredible $28 billion" in revenue, Bloomberg said.
The good news, he stressed, was that the city claimed the largest market share in the entire country, adding tourism sector jobs and hotel rooms.
Nonetheless, in so doing, New York still remained down 3.9 percent from 2008 in terms of the number of travelers who visited the city, but that, said Bloomberg, was far less than the 10 percent reduction that had been forecast at the end of 2008.
This, he contended, is "a sign that our city's economy as a whole is poised for a comeback."
Indeed, Bloomberg noted, the city now boasts some 311,000 tourism and hospitality industry jobs, "slightly higher" than before the recession started, while other cities that are tourist destinations such as Orlando, Las Vegas and Los Angeles shed jobs. Will 1,100 new jobs created in the hotel industry, the employment figures, he added, are "a direct reflection of how many people came and how much they spent."
"The bottom line," added Bloomberg, is that, "over the past eight years, we really laid the groundwork for more visitors, and I think we will continue to see even more tourists on our streets as the economy improves."
A total of 46.7 million visitors is predicted for 2010, Bloomberg added, noting that it would be another milestone on the way to his administration's goal of hosting 50 million visitors each year by 2012.
Why was Brooklyn chosen as the site of the announcement? Explained George Fertitta, the CEO of NYC & Company, there has been "a greater awareness" of all the borough has to offer in recent years, in particular its "Pockets of culture and pockets of cool."
In addition, in terms of attracting visitors, "Brooklyn is doing second best of all the boroughs," he said.
The Greenhouse Café has had its share of visitors from outside the neighborhood, said co-owner John Keegan, who noted that hits on the eatery's website have "quadrupled" since the restaurant "joined NYC & Company, four years ago. This includes not only people from other parts of the city, but from other areas of the United States as well as around the world.

Why Contributing to Community Matters
Posted On: January 12th, 2015 by Jane Hiscock
This week Farland Group employees will spend some time at The Women's Lunch Place in Boston; a wonderful safe place for women to get a warm meal, learn new skills to help workforce re-entry, and be part of a social community that brings much needed support. Since we started Farland Group, it was important to us that we extend what we do for our clients – helping them to connect more deeply with their client communities – to our own community.
There is plenty of research showing that socially responsible businesses not only connect more effectively to their employees and customers, but are also more productive businesses. While we have certainly experienced these outcomes as a business, the most important outcome is that as a team we have time to connect with each other around something that is bigger than our business.
So as you embark on 2015 and begin thinking about your business goals, spend some time thinking about your community and what you can give back. You don't need to be a huge corporation to make a difference in the lives of those around you.

When life hands you old technology you can either throw it away, store it, or try and make it work again. Thanks to the invention of powerful and easily adapted micro computers like Raspberry Pi it's now easier than make your own Frankenstein machine.
YouTube user Lon Seidman figured out how to check his email on a 1986 Apple IIe modified with just such a Raspberry Pi device. With the help of a serial to USB connector the IIe thinks sees the Pi device as a modem. Using the modified IIe Seidman is able to check his email from his laptop even when he's away from home. Here's his fascinating video showing exactly how he was able to rig up the computer to his Raspberry Pi.

|Levels of Neonatal Care.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22926177 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Provision of risk-appropriate care for newborn infants and mothers was first proposed in 1976. This updated policy statement provides a review of data supporting evidence for a tiered provision of care and reaffirms the need for uniform, nationally applicable definitions and consistent standards of service for public health to improve neonatal outcomes. Facilities that provide hospital care for newborn infants should be classified on the basis of functional capabilities, and these facilities should be organized within a regionalized system of perinatal care.

|Effect of physiological overload on pregnancy in women with mitral regurgitation.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21437435 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVES: to evaluate the structural and functional heart abnormalities in women with mitral regurgitation during pregnancy.
INTRODUCTION: Women with mitral regurgitation progress well during pregnancy. However, the effects on the heart of the association between pregnancy and mitral regurgitation are not well established.
METHODS: This is a case-control, longitudinal prospective study. Echocardiograms were performed in 18 women with mitral regurgitation at the 12th and 36th week of pregnancy and on the 45th day of the puerperium. Twelve age-matched healthy and pregnant women were included as controls and underwent the same evaluation as the study group.
RESULTS: Compared with controls, women with mitral regurgitation presented increased left cardiac chambers in all evaluations. Increasing left atrium during pregnancy occurred only in the mitral regurgitation group. At the end of the puerperium, women with mitral regurgitation showed persistent enlargement of the left atrium compared with the beginning of pregnancy (5.0 ± 1.1 cm vs 4.6 ± 0.9 cm; p < 0.05). Reduced left ventricular relative wall thickness (0.13 ± 0.02 vs 0.16 ± 0.02; p < 0.05) and an increased peak of afterload (278 ± 55 g/cm² vs 207 ± 28 g/cm²; p < 0.05) was still observed on the 45th day after delivery in the mitral regurgitation group compared with controls.
CONCLUSIONS: Pregnancy causes unfavorable structural alterations in women with mitral regurgitation that are associated with an aggravation of the hemodynamic overload.

Ottawa Area Intermediate School District and Hope College will host its annual Midwest Brain and Learning Institute, June 24-26.
Ottawa Area Intermediate School District and Hope College will host its annual Midwest Brain and Learning Institute at Haworth Inn and Conference Center, 225 College Ave., June 24-26. A post-institute wrap-up will take place on June 27.
More than 1200 educators are estimated to have attended the program since it began in 2001. It is intended for educators who work with students of all age levels, including pre-school teachers, K-12 educators and college professors. This year's institute is focusing on "The Creative Brain: Moving Beyond Recall to Extended Thinking."
The speaker for Monday will be Charles Fadel, founder and chairman of the Center for Curriculum Redesign. He will discuss system change in education. Fadel is co-author of the best-selling book "21st Century Skills-Learning for Life in Our Times," and he has worked on education projects with more than 30 nations and states.
The keynote speaker for Tuesday will be Dr. G. Christian Jernstedt. Jernstedt is a professor of psychological and brain sciences at Dartmouth College, adjunct professor of community and family medicine at Dartmouth Medical School, and co-director of the Center of Educational Outcomes at Dartmouth. He will be examining current neuroscience developments regarding the foundations for learning. Jernstedt has written more than 100 articles, reports and papers, and is also a consultant who has advised many different organizations.
Exploring neuroscience implications for classroom practice will be the topic of discussion on Wednesday. The speaker will be Dr. Mariale Hardiman, assistant dean for urban school partnerships and clinical professor of education at the John Hopkins University School of Education, where she co-founded and directs the Neuro-Education Initiative. Before joining John Hopkins, she served in the Baltimore City Public Schools for more than 30 years.
The post-institute session on Thursday will emphasize "Taking the Institute Home." In the morning, Philip Schlemmer of Holland Public Schools will lead K-8 teachers in exploring project-based learning, while Jason Pasatta of Ottawa Area ISD will share insights with high school teachers regarding the Ottawa Area ISD program that creates external partnerships that get students engaged in real-time business processes, challenges and solutions.

Some people think you have to be funny to take an improv class, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, people that are not funny generally have an easier time grasping improv principles because improv is more about funny "happening" and less about "being" funny. So whether you consider yourself funny or not, an improv class is the right choice for you!
The Jester'Z Training Center offers Drop-In style classes for adults that start at a beginning level and also for those with hopes of becoming a Jester or a professional improv performer there is a development track to move onto advanced and performance prep. The performance prep level is basically a 12 week audition where students are performing and training weekly with the Owner and Producer of Jester'Z, Jef Rawls. While we do have auditions twice a year, almost all of our Main Stage Performers have come up through the Jester'Z Training Center!
We also offer teen classes each semester during the school year and several summer camp sessions for kids and teens 8-17 years old.

George Korda: Rogero turnover results in first down, Padgett
Whoever advised Madeline Rogero to respond as she did to Mark Padgett's endorsements announcement isn't doing her any favors.
If Rogero made the call it would be in her interest in the future to listen to cooler heads.
Let's first set the stage. In the Sept. 27 mayoral primary Rogero received 49.91 percent of the vote to Padgett's 22.64. The remaining votes were split between three other candidates, Ivan Harmon, Joe Hultquist and Bo Bennett. As no candidate received more than 50 percent, Rogero and Padgett advanced to a Nov. 8 runoff.
With Rogero coming so close to the margin she needed for outright victory, Padgett was in a difficult spot. With Rogero's showing, some of the money, political support and votes Padgett desperately needed would sit on the sidelines to try to first figure out if a Rogero general election victory was inevitable.
The pressure was, and is, on Padgett to prove that isn't true, that he can overcome what looked to be an overwhelming Rogero advantage.
On Wednesday, Oct. 5, Padgett got a break. It wasn't just capturing the endorsements of Harmon, Hultquist, Bennett and Knox County Sheriff J.J. Jones. To receive the endorsements of every other candidate in the race isn't inconsiderable, but it's not striking gold, either. Rather, it was a gift that came in the form of Rogero's response. Here it is, as it appeared in the News Sentinel:
"Earlier today, standing next to many of those same 'Black Wednesday' insiders, my opponent put on a show that perfectly illustrates the contrast between us," Rogero said in a released statement this afternoon. "He lined up a group of politicians and job-seekers on the steps of the county courthouse. Their appearance with him has almost nothing to do with who is the best choice for city mayor, and everything to do with the old-style insider politics of the county courthouse.
"Sadly, my opponent's stunt today has shown us that he is, in the end, a child of those same courthouse politics. But, Mark, let's be clear: Though today is a Wednesday, there will never be a 'Black Wednesday' here in our city."
That's the kind of statement that typically comes out of a campaign when the race is close or the candidate is behind. But that wouldn't seem to be true for Rogero, given the primary results. Thus, Padgett campaign workers had to be dancing on their desks the moment Rogero's statement hit their hands. Here's why:
1. It gives the Padgett campaign the opening to claim that there's movement that alarms her.
2. She slapped the 33-year-old Padgett (a 'child' of those courthouse politics), which doesn't make her appear more mayoral.
3. She risked angering and alienating her former opponents' voters and contributors, and the sheriff as well. To what end? Those are voters and contributors she needs.
4. She's motivated Jones, Harmon, Hultquist and Bennett to do more than just stand with Padgett for a photo op. Endorsements usually fade. The people making the endorsements leave the press conference, don't do much and aren't heard from again. However, with this broadside Rogero has given each of them a reason to work like dogs every day to try to beat her.
5. Black Wednesday was a county government-related issue that occurred almost five years ago. Asking voters to make this connection in the 2011 city mayor's race is a stretch.
6. Padgett can now go to contributors and political players and say, "If I weren't scaring her to death do you think she'd have said this?"
Rogero's intent was clear and justified, to diminish the endorsements' effect and squash Padgett's try for attention. Getting into the other guy's story is a good thing for a candidate to do. In the best of all possible worlds Rogero gets voters to associate Padgett with county government controversies. But to make sure voters hear you, you have to make that case over and over again. You have to connect dots, give explanations, be clear.
Is the statement telegraphing an attack campaign Rogero is planning on Padgett, or was it simply a short-fused reaction to the discomfort of having all her former opponents back him.
The immediate gratification of whacking Padgett would not seem to be a reason to go after him with such vigor. Therefore, several possibilities:
* She really, really, really doesn't like Padgett
* There's something in the campaign dynamic that's causing her concern
* She got bad advice
* It was a momentary lack of judgment
Rogero would have been better off referencing the endorsement she received from more than 49 percent of the voters (thus reminding everyone of her showing); encouraging her former opponents' supporters to join her winning campaign, and coming up with a new list of endorsements of her own to promote.
Rogero has, in NFL parlance, committed a turnover. At least for the moment. It doesn't mean she's going to lose the game. She's still the one who got the most primary votes. But now she has people asking each other questions they wouldn't have otherwise asked. She has people thinking things they wouldn't have otherwise thought.
First down, Padgett, but conventional wisdom would say still well on his side of the field. Now we'll see what he does with the ball as well as Rogero's strategy to stop him and get it back.
The mayor's race is now a more interesting game.

Well it's Friday, only 1 more day in pain; and one more day with a fucked up ring finger. Of course it wasn't always that way, fucked up that is; but I made the mistake of using my hands to keep our dachshund's head from being cracked like a pecan in the jaws of another dog.
Was it a good thing?
I think so. I saved Justin's life.
Was it a bad thing?
Most people would probably say so.
My ring finger was bitten off at the first joint; well not actually bitten completely off. It was still attached by a thin shred of skin. I never looked at it after it happened; but I could feel it just swinging free. Doug looked at it and almost threw up. I just squeezed it as hard as I could til we got to the ER where the nurse said "Really, Mrs. Eigler I could just send you home with a band aid".
He was a peach.
About 4 hrs later I finally went to the OR where, during a 2.5 hr. surgery, the plastic surgeon (who obviously got his MD from a correspondence school in Guadalajara) kinda sorta fixed my finger. More on that later.
The day after the incident in a drug induced haze I kissed the kids goodbye and with my hand in a half-cast I was on plane and heading to San Fransisco with Doug for a 10 day trip for our 10th anniversary. The plane tickets and the B&B in Pacific Heights had been paid for months earlier and were non-refundable. We'd also paid for Brett and Amanda to go to camp for 2 weeks while we were gone.
Short of death there way no way I was gonna miss that trip.
So we went, with me popping Vicodin like Pez.
From what I remember the trip was fun; and people on the trolleys were most gracious giving me their seat when they saw the ginormous wrap on my right hand.
Upon my return when my hand was unwrapped I saw my finger permanently bent at about a 75 degree angle. And when I asked the Dr. you know what that idiot MD said?
"I did that so you can carry luggage."
Seriously, he said exactly that, with a straight face.
WTF! Did I look like a bellhop to him or what?
Needless to say I was pissed; but later when I went to the top two hand surgeons in Houston for a second opinion neither one said they'd put anything in writing saying Dr. Incompetent had actually done anything wrong. (Apparently the whole thing about Dr.'s sticking together is true.) I shoulda sued that incompetent twit's testicles smooth off; but we were really busy with our mortgage company then and before I knew it the 2 year window for litigation had expired.
And since the finger was "functional" insurance wouldn't cover getting it fixed; so I lived with it like that lo these many (22) years.
For the most part it hasn't been too awful; although continuing my career as a professional beach volleyball player/hand model was completely outta the question after the incident. Most people have never even noticed my finger. Unconsciously I developed a Bob Dole kinda thing with my right hand; but I've noticed; and it's bugged me. So on Saturday I'm finally getting it fixed.
So in addition to my carpal tunnel surgery they're breaking my finger and repinning it during the same surgery.
It's a BOGO! And you know how I love those.
I was thinking of staying awake for the procedure. The anesthesiologist said he could just give my arm an epidural (so to speak); but I'm not sure I want to hear the word "Hammer.", then actually hear it when they break my finger. I was awake for a C-section. I even saw in the incision reflected in my OB's glasses, and didn't freak ; but then my OB was about to reach inside and pull out a great prize. I just realized I was a like a super-sized box of Cracker Jack.
Anyway I don't know why this should be a bigger deal; but it seems to be. So instead I guess I'll just go ahead and wuss out and take the Versed/Fentanyl they've offered.
Guess I'm not as tough as I used to be.
Evelyn is taking me tomorrow. Doug is heading out to a home and garden show with a big group of new flowers–our best group yet. We'll see how he does without me being there. If you're up north stay warm kiddos. You wouldn't want you noo-noo's to freeze off. I'll be shorts and Crocs all weekend.
See ya next week.

I could never really understand the medical sense of humor–& after reading your post, I STILL DON'T!! Good luck on your surgery!!!

I not sure that giant ass was trying to be funny. I think he was just a very, very, very bad surgeon.
Michele recently posted..Max Productivity
I figure that everyone ends up with one really bad surgeon in their lifetime and you already had yours. I, too have one I should of sued. (took out the wrong part..then was pissy when they had to admit it so I could go back to have the right part removed)
Good luck on your BOGO surgeries. Hopefully you will have a quick recovery and all goes well.
Take care!!!

Sweet Jesus, just what did they take out by mistake? I think I'll be scribbling a note on my hand in the morning.
I'm exhausted from reading this. It also brought back memories of when I was 2 years old and my older brother chopped off my finger accidentally by slamming a door on it. It was sewed back on…. obviously since I'm typing this comment! Good luck with your surgery. Come back to us sooooooon!
For the last 20 years I haven't been able to use that finger to type. It'll be interesting to see what happens after manana.
I'm like a bad penny. I'll be popping up again before you even know I'm gone.
I'm hoping everything turns out alright, dear lady. You need those hands to work at full capacity, right? Sending out good vibes from here…
Liz C. recently posted..The Magic Of Itzhak Perlman & His Sweet Violin
Doctors are weird sometimes. When I had my tumor removed I was back in my room and waiting for a "official cancer" diagnoses from the biopsy he came into my room and said. Well I guess I was wrong. You do not have cancer but I do have a picture of your tumor you can use as a Christmas Card." Glad he was wrong about the cancer but seriously…a Christmas? Hang in there my friend!
Jenn recently posted..Six Degress of Dr. Sheldon Cooper
Yikes! I can't imagine being awake for anything where I am intentionally cut open! Best of luck on both surgeries and I hope recovery is great (and you get some really good drugs!).
