that tears it!

seriously, though, i've partially torn my MCL, torn my ACL completely, and i have tears in the miniscus. surgery's scheduled in a week and a half and i've got no clue how we're going to manage... mainly because gd's got *her* surgery 9 days later so we'll both be out of commission and in need of a lot of community help.

mr smear's going to have to step up, three's a good age to start cooking and cleaning, right?

...

amazingly, i actually slept last night! hopefully i'll sleep tonight too.

i spent half my day at the hospital, almost stuffing up the MRI because after 20 minutes of excruciating pain my body began involuntary twitching. then i had to get fitted with the serious brace, obviously the instructions i got from the well-meaning secretaries were to go through an area that was literally impossible to traverse on crutches...

... the workday was long and progress was slow, the highlight being discovering a bug in my first deployed code that forced a rollback! well, not so much a bug as an untested side-effect :P

i've made some progress with the insurance claims, which is a long, tedious process, i've optimized the level i was aiming for in 7 billion humans, found a bunch of cool images to use for stickers, watched some more love, death and robots (freakin' awesome), and it's now past 1am and i'm off to bed.
