Man up
Sorry for nothing this week, still dealing with fallout from the mugging. Namely visits to the doctor and the the police department. Worthless both, initially. But! Wheels were set in motion that got me to a "specialist" doctor yesterday, who actually knew how to fix a broken nose. Apparently standard procedure these days is get a hospital trip with the sedation and all.
I say, fuck that. Way too much drama for what amounts to the doctor shoving a metal stick up your nose and popping it back into place. So that's what I told the nurse, without the profanity. The doctor was all like, "It's not the most humane way, blah. But I'll do it." Five minutes and a bunch of numbing needles later it's all good.
No wonder health care costs in this country are so out of control. A 3-second non-invasive procedure requires a hospital visit. Christ. I guess its not the most pleasant feeling in the world, but still. People are such pussies.

Look at the bright side, Goats. You could have been forced to go to Student Health at NU. They would have found, via your nose, that you are both pregnant and mono-carrying.
Hope you're feeling better. I have a book to recommend to you during your convalescence: Grendel by John Gardner. It's right up your alley. And shut up with the, "Don't tell me what to read, commenter, I'm the herder of goats here." I'm telling you to check out something you'll like. You defiant bastard.
What else?
A supposedly fun thing I'll never do again
