Get Well Cards for All of You

What is with the health of my poor LJ friends lately? Let me introduce all you sick people to each other.

[livejournal.com profile] kshatri, your doctor diagnosed you as being currently "well on your way to pneumonia." Meet [livejournal.com profile] fightingwords, who just returned home after spending four days hospitalized with pneumonia.

[livejournal.com profile] alysia_angel, you recently spilled boiling water on your stomach, and are now suffering from mutant monster blisters two inches wide and one inch tall. Meet [livejournal.com profile] lm, who also just spilled boiling water on eir stomach - plus numerous other body parts - and is now suffering from similar blisters.

[livejournal.com profile] seifaiden, you had painful surgery performed yesterday which accomplished absolutely nothing useful except to verify that various of your body parts did not actually need fixing. Meet, er . . me, who also had painful surgery performed yesterday which also accomplished absolutely nothing useful except to verify that it was indeed only a mere cyst like I said all along, and not a tumor.

[livejournal.com profile] violin, your car flipped upside down at an intersection, and now you're covered in bruises and your passenger has a broken pelvis. Meet . . . uh oh, there isn't actually another person on my friends list who's just been in a horrible car accident in the past few days. I hope there isn't going to be one.

Anyone else? Who else around here is severely injured or ill right now?

Oh, and one more pairing I just discovered, but of a different kind. Today is [livejournal.com profile] mentalust's parents' wedding anniversary. Today is also my own parents' wedding anniversary. And my maternal grandparents' wedding anniversary too. And an aunt's too, but she's divorced whereas my parents and my grandparents are still married (31 years and, um . . . somewhere close to 60 years?)

wow, we're all quite a mess.

Thanks. I hope so, too. Myself and Robin ([livejournal.com profile] iridium) are plenty-- in fact you could preemptively add Robin to your friends list to hedge against some other counterpart springing up. Doesn't post much/ever, but she's an absolute sweety and I'm very glad she's out of the hospital now.

Knock wood, all I'm sporting right now is a lovely crop of (mostly) fading bruises on my legs from indoor climbing. And a really sore left quad that I suspect is climbing-related, but damn if I know how I got it.

Well, right now, I'm really anemic, and I haven't slept soundly in weeks.

Well, I'm going blind and dealing with the awful contacts of much badness, and will probably need surgery in the next year anyway, so I'd say I'm on the sick list too.

On the bright side (and keeping with other convergences), today is Trysha's and my year anniversary! So yay!

Ooh, you're right! You're not paired with any other similarly sick person either. I think this means you're not supposed to be sick. It doesn't fit the pattern.

And happy anniversary! I'm looking forward to seeing Trysha post more often so I can start feeling more acquainted.
