It's hard to have patience when you're waiting on luck

In fact, this weekend starting tonight marks the first Readercon I have missed since first attending the convention in 2004. I am not so thrilled about this.

I am not so thrilled, either, about being on the third week of disruptively painful and debilitating symptoms of unknown etiology and limited options for care. On Monday I am finally seeing one of my own doctors. In the meantime, my July has disappeared.

Lately I have been watching a miscellany of the original Perry Mason (1957–66) and enjoying its plethora of actors of the week—I can't watch too much of it in a row without feeling that my brain is leaking out my ears, but I am honestly delighted that I can get Audrey Totter, Jeff Corey, Elisha Cook Jr., Bruce Bennett, and Ted de Corsia all together in an episode of anything.

Dr. Autolycus remains on my lap at all possible moments.

Fingers crossed for useful input from your own docs; and in the meantime, wishing you an absence of brain leakage.

And all praise Dr Autolycus!

At least the feline doctors are good even if the human ones aren't.

I thought of you the other day because at the instigation of a friend, I saw an old movie, Giant, with Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, and James Dean. Have you seen it?

I am so sorry this illness ate your July. Last year illness ate my June and it sucked. *radiates sympathy and hopes for healing*

Good job, Autolycus.

I'm so sorry health issues have eaten July; that's completely unfair. I hope it improves soon.

May medical issues resolve easily, painlessly and at speed, and may you continue to have a provider of lap snuggle and purr therapy for years to come.

I am glad Dr. Autolycus is on the case.

Gotta say, I'm so fucking annoyed with the US "health care" system, on your behalf (as well as on behalf of other people I know).

Yay for good kitties and good things to watch! And, of course, I hope you'll feel better soon!
