Many of you know that I had surgery about a week ago and I thought I’d just pop in to say it was so NOT fun. It was 2 hours late starting, I scratched my cornea coming out of anesthesia, I didn’t get after care instructions, got the wrong pain meds to take home and, even at the hospital, they couldn’t take the pain away.
I had an allergic reaction to the tape they used, I have a bad cough and do breathing exercises every day, I have to sleep sitting up with my feet elevated, and, unless the pain meds are working and I’m only hallucinating, Donald Trump is going to be our next President. Aiy, yai, yai!
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heat waves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
