Cormorant to rock, gulls from the storm

I did not post it last night because I was so tired, but spatch took a proof of life when I was finally home which does indeed look much more like a person than my fluorescently washed out self-portrait of a couple of nights ago and amazingly more so than the traditional tubes-and-wires effigy of earlier in the week. It's peculiar to look back on. Concentrating to talk to doctors during that period worked well enough that I was asked more than once if I had a medical background and had to answer only in the sense of having had a lot of medical to deal with, but otherwise much of what I remember of the first few days involved drifting in and out of weird half-overheard half-sleep acutely punctuated by conversations or procedures. It was amazing to go back to sleep this morning after my medications without having to discuss them extensively with anyone.



fleurdelis41 seasonally sent me some cases of piracy tried at the Old Bailey, of which my favorites are the prosecutor no-show, the punch line of the stolen hats, and the dudes whose defense was having been very drunk at the time.

That's a much livelier proof-of-life than the earlier one!

[muccamukk]

OMG! You look so much better. Really glad to see it!

"being very drunk at the time" is going to be my defense all next week.

"But you're sober. I'm talking to you right now. Your frock is even ironed."

"NUH-UH."

being a man of bad reputation, assumed the surname Wood, after a dead friend who was widely renowned for honesty.

A foolproof plan, one would think.

That's a very lovely photo, all the more so knowing the week you had before taking it. Keep letting Dr. Hestia minister to you!

[gwynnega]

That is a lovely photo. It must be so nice to not be at the hospital!

[nineweaving]

Vertical! Some color in your cheeks! Taking the air!

This is excellent.

Very glad to hear you're home and see you're looking more alive.

[sabotabby]

I'm glad to see you looking better! Hopefully you also are feeling better?

I love this proof of life. *^^*

It was amazing to go back to sleep this morning after my medications without having to discuss them extensively with anyone.

I imagine so!!! <3

[thisbluespirit]

Oh, yes, that is a much better proof of life! I'm glad. <3<3<3

And, ha, excellent pirate defences. (I think one of my random Devon ancestors also pleaded drunkeness as an excuse - due to celebrating a friend's return from the Boer War - but that was for the more minor and distinctly less piratical Barnstaple crime of Swearing In His Own Home. If Barumites had not been banned from Swearing In Their Own Homes, I would know less about them).

Here are some flowers to help uplift. I passed them on a walk today. Hope you like yellow.

Oh, how lovely to see you home and looking so well!

It's good to see your face, I'm just sorry you've been through so much in the last few days. Glad you're home again. *Hugs*
