The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsFriday Night Buzz Thread is postponed this week.
Im still recovering from surgery, and dont feel well enough for my usual weekend blastoff.
I had a small glass of wine with my lunch, like a civilized person. But thats going to be it for now.
One thing that will never change, though:
I love you all

Aristus, may you pee with great pleasure very, very soon.
Take care!

(70,880 posts)Right now, Im peeing with great amounts of blood. Its taking longer to go away than last time.

(24,422 posts)must be a bit challenging psychologically. I've never been there. I hope to never be there. And I sincerely hope it's something you don't have to worry about anymore in a very short time.

(70,880 posts)I know its the battle cry of alcohol use disorder, but I need a drink.

(21,834 posts)I worked afternoons from home, pretty intense job. Some days, when I was done, I'd have a double shot of vodka on ice, and watch some late night tv. I realized I felt like a grown-up. Maybe it was the ice.
I didn't need the ritual once I retired from that job.
Hope you are doing better today. Rough condition, painful solution.

Get well soon!
Aristus
(70,880 posts)Everyone was so kind to me back when I joined up. Heck, the Lounge didnt even exist back then. It just feels so good to return kindness with kindness.

(127,277 posts)surgery? Whatever it was, vibes for swift recovery and healing on their way.
Had an interesting cocktail tonight: Elementary, My Dear. A creation (unless something was renamed for the occasion!) for our Sherlock Holmes lecture: rye, lemon juice, orange juice, grenadine, soda water. I don't think I will be repeat the exprience.
Aristus
(70,880 posts)I only like it in a New York Sour.
I underwent a trans-urethral lithotripsy for my kidney stones on Monday. Just like four years ago or so. General anesthesia, lots of blood in my urine, and a stent that makes just moving painful.
Got another one coming up a week from Monday. So Im going to be an invalid for a while.
I like my usual energetic, conquer the world self. So this is not a fun time
