Hiya, Gabe! Oh, I've already looked at the "Don't you hate it when..." thread. My pal Lara (30 yo with invasive ductal carcinoma R breast) and I call a lot of those faces that people mention things like the "Sad Face" or the "OISHB Face" (oh, isn't she brave!).

Honestly? I work in a neurocritical care unit at a hospital in Dallas that does almost nothing but head-and-neck and neurological/neurosurgical care. My worst day out of bed is better than my best patient's best day in the bed. If I don't have a sense of humor about this, I'm doing God a disservice by wasting His gift to me.

It sucks, yes, and I'm planning to ask for advice on some of the suckier parts later. But mostly? At least 60% of the time? I'm very conscious of how easy I got off. My signature line would be six words, not three lines. That's lucky.
