Wow…what a day…sooo tired…and now, time to pass out…like, hard core sleeping is about to ensue…as a matter of fact, I think I should stretch a bit first or something, ’cause this is gunna be a marathon sleep and I don’t want to pull a muscle.

Three Hours in the ER again (most of them spent waiting for Triage, then for Intake and Billing, then for the Doctor, Three whole seconds to rip it out of my nose, then another hour and a half waiting for the discharge papers…) and the Nose Tampon is Gone!! I can now breathe again…and now, I get to see the ENT Specialist on Wednesday. Thanksgiving is Thursday…which will be an interesting, interesting time (look for a post about that, as well as Toronto, in short order).

Ali () is driving up Today and we’re driving down to Long Island together; Long Island Crew, I’ll be seeing you soon…right now, however, it’s time for a snack, some cartoons, and then some sleep…lots and lots of sleep.

Peace all.

I’ll tell you.

Ever since I was nine, and then again my sophomore year of college when I fell six feet into a cement floor, lacerating my lip, smashing in my teeth, and breaking my nose…my nose has gotten, shall we say, progressively flatter and damaged.

So, I took a nap after Toronto and woke up with my nose bleeding…and it just. wouldn’t stop. So I called Candie () who was wonderful and she and Mikey drove me to Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital (you might recall MF as the place I went when I fell out of bed a few years back)…I walk in, with a tshirt in a ball over my face, covered in blood and the nurse was like “You’re next!” and this security guy comes up to me and goes “do you think ice would help” and I was like “Yes, I think ice would be wonderful, thanks” so I get an ice pack.and then the nurse starts doing Triage like things (like, asking me if a kindergartner beat me up) and she provided me with my diagnosis (”you have issues”). Then, a few moments later, I’m brought in to the O.R. where the Physicians Assistant and a Nurse attempt to stop the bleeding…and attempt, and attempt…

So they finally mix Neosenephrine with Lidocaine, remove the 4 inch long clot that was semi-forming, instill the mix with some cotton, then wait a bit, remove the cotton and they take another look and he says “I can’t cauterize your nose, because it’s pumping so hard, so we need to put in a nose-tampon” (I’m assuming nose-tampon is the non-technical term). So they do…and there it still is…a tampon, in my nose (currently all the fashion, or at least I’m trying to make it a trend). I’m told to come back in 24 hours to have the tampon removed…Shirah () is driving me over at midnight so I can get this thing out of my nose.

I now have an appointment with an ENT on Wednesday on The Island.

Anyways, so I call Alice () and she says I can come over and sleep there in case, you know, I start bleeding again and we need to go back to MFSH (this is the option we’re NOT going for…not the sleeping over, that’s fun…the going back to the hospital bleeding part, I really *do* try and avoid it).

On a side note, every time I *do* go to MFSH I get a cute, male doctor, and every time I go (to myself) “ohh, I wonder if he’s Jewish/Gay/Single” and then every time my left side of the brain smacks my right side of the brain and goes “now is not the time.” I have to stop meeting people like this.

Also, I’m told whenever I have some kind of accident that ‘you need a better story’ - apparently my accident stories aren’t exciting enough. I don’t know how I feel about that.

So at the moment, I have a tampon sticking out nose, one side of my nose just looks weird, and I’m eating waffles.

I’m loads of fun.

Okay all, we’re back from Toronto, we finished what we needed from this trip (academically), socially however, we’d all like to go back! I really have to say, I love Toronto.

I have a ton to write about (which will come after the unpacking, and laundry, and well…all the stuff that comes after a few days traveling) so you can expect an update later on tonight. However, I have to say, finding Goodhandy’s a couple of weeks ago was awesome - I had more fun there, with down to earth people, than I did at Woody’s or any other club I’ve been too, and I know Brigitte and I can’t wait to go back.

Paper writing will commence tomorrow evening; which is wonderful and Tuesday I head to Long Island for thanksgiving (I get to see my Twin Brother who I haven’t seen in months!) as well as the rest of my family which will be great.

Anyways, time to do that responsible adult thing and unpack, do laundry, and what not and then a full update of spiffy-ness =)

I’m in Toronto, going on about two and a half hours of sleep, heading out with my team to Woody’s since the Sex Club we were at last time currently is having a Trans night so we’re jumping forward to the bar segment of this trip and back to them on Sunday.

I’m so sleepy.

More updates as they come.

Peace.

Jewish
Mother
Hello?

Daughter
Hi Mom. Can I leave the kids with you
tonight?

Jewish Mother
You’re going out?

Daughter

Yes.

Jewish Mother
With whom?

Daughter
With a
friend.

Jewish Mother
I don’t know why you left your husband. He is
such a good man.

Daughter
I didn’t leave him. He left
me!

Jewish Mother
You let him leave you, and now you go out with
anybodies and nobodies.

Daughter
I do not go out with anybody. Can I
bring over the kids?

Jewish Mother
I never left you to go out with
anybody except your father.

Daughter
There are lots of things that
you did and I don’t.

Jewish Mother
What are you hinting
at?

Daughter
Nothing. I just want to know if I can bring the kids over
tonight.

Jewish Mother
You’re going to stay the night with him? What
will your husband say if he
finds out?

Daughter
My EX husband. I
don’t think he would be bothered. From the day he left me,
he probably never
slept alone!

Jewish Mother
So you’re going to sleep over at this
loser’s place?

Daughter
He’s not a loser.

Jewish Mother
A
man who goes out with a divorced woman with children is a loser and a

parasite.

Daughter
I don’t want to argue. Should I bring over the
kids or not?

Jewish Mother
Poor children with such a
mother.

Daughter
Such a what?

Jewish Mother
With no
stability. No wonder your husband left
you.

Daughter
ENOUGH!!!

Jewish Mother
Don’t scream at me.
You probably scream at this loser too!

Daughter
Now you’re worried
about the loser?

Jewish Mother
Ah, so you see he’s a loser. I spotted
him immediately.

Daughter
Goodbye, mother.

Jewish
Mother
Wait! Don’t hang up! When are you bringing them over?

Daughter

I’m not bringing them over! I’m not going out!

Jewish Mother
If
you never go out, how do you expect to meet
anyone?
