I swear, stepping into the lab these days feels like stepping into the Thunderdome

[llycaons]

I've had tasks all day but the alternative was what, sitting around watching tv? I brought salt fish girl and I'm trying to read it but I'm really not into it unfortunately. but there are issues and problems at work that aren't my fault (so no need to feel guilty) and my supervisor is telling me to attend to them and attend to them I will...my god I love creating solutions. I just had a conversation with some other members of the unit and solved some issues. made a tip sheet. restocked some very important supplies. helped draft an email. confirmed I restocked some stuff last week. I love it

okay hang on. followup thoughts to this post: if the bizzyboys being from the drain is meant to imply that there are other like, living sentient beings down there -- that were Forgotten, in this specific reading of the drain -- does the grove, like, know? or are they under the impression that the bizzyboys were the only sentient life down there and now that all the surviving ones are in the grove they're like "oh well i guess it's chill, glad y'all got out of there, praise inspekta amirite?"

is that the case? that inspekta/hector led a mass exodus out of the drain and that's at least part of what got him godhood in the first place? was it just the bizzyboys or did that exodus include other people too -- bc like there Are grove civilians who are either explicitly not human (bronch) or who are ambiguously human but it's just never called attention to by the narrative (housecat man, jake'm). was part of the bizzyboys' early duties going back Into the drain to look for stragglers? to bring them back to the grove -- and back into relevance by proxy? to refuse to let them be forgotten? was them assisting the grove supposed to be like, the deal inspekta struck with the gods for that? did they even require a deal or was hector/inspekta just like "hey listen, yew scratch my back i'll scratch yewrs" and they were like "alright these guys clearly need sanctuary so sure."

what if that's just how it started? like, what if part of the whole reason behind the founding of the bizzyboys was to use their connections to aid whoever was left in the drain, but as inspekta became more consumed by his own fears and withdrawn and paranoid and power-hungry, whatever resources were going towards that just. dwindled to a halt. and when he was pressed about it he was like "eh we did everything we could! there's only so much you can do for folks the world's got no need for anymore lol." <- PROJECTING INSANELY HARD.

what i'm saying is there's no version of events here that doesn't make me wanna scream and writhe on the floor lmao

(Slay The Watcher route 5 p16)

Mumbo: You are just... justifying my decision by acting like this!

Grian: Oh boohoo. Did you want me to be friendly and happy? Dangling freedom in front of my face and then tearing it away doesn't exactly inspire me to be nice.

Mumbo: I just asked for more time to choose! It's not my fault you are so impatient!

The Narrator: the room goes suddenly quiet.

Grian: Impatient...? Why don't you try and see how patient you are after bring imprisoned so long you forget ever being free!

The Narrator: You look away and ignore the Watcher...soon the noise stops and you find yourself falling asleep...your sight goes black -

*crash*

The Narrator: You jolt awake, the rotten door is on the floor...a variety of mushrooms growing inbetween the wood and mycelium spreding to the floor.

Scar: W-where is-

Grian: Thanks for letting me out of that awful basement~

Mumbo: I-I...

The Narrator: You try to stand up but you can't...you stumble and fall backwards onto the wall.

Grian: Now I'll have all the time in the world to thank you.

The Narrator: The air is filled with spores and soon you start chocking.

Scar: Mumbo! Mu- *cough cough*

Grian: We'll have so much fun together.

(Tw: Slight Body horror)

The Narrator: You feel something growing... In your lungs.

Mumbo: T-the s- *cough* spores!

The Narrator: You can feel it crawling, digging in, you feel your lungs filling with mushrooms.

Mumbo: S-stop

The Narrator: You try to heave but it keeps proliferating... soln you stop breathing completely as the fungi start climbing your bronchs and reach your trachea... You can feel them moving in such small places.

(Tw end)

Grian: Or maybe we can't...

The Narrator: As you lose conciousness everything goes dark and you die.

Chapter 2: The spore.

The Narrator: You are on a path in the woods, in the woods is-

Scar: What the hell was that!?

The Narrator: What are you talking about?

Tmi time. This morning a bug divebombed my underwear while I was sitting on the toilet. After a comical moment of furiously flicking and shaking said underwear to get it out, the bug vanished somewhere across the bathroom, my bladder is well beyond empty, and I have to go to work and pretend like this event didn't just change me as a person.

I rightly don't know what this is an omen of, but I am assuming nothing good.

En Espagne un immigré hostie à une famille moleste leur bébé et le père choqué par la scène ne bronche même pas. C’est le résultat de plus de quatre décennies de politiciens qui ont travaillé pour idiotiser la société tout en ouvrant la porte à toutes sortes de sauvages qui ne méritent pas l’air qu’ils respirent. L'immigration organisée par Bruxelles porte ses fruits au détriment de la sécurité des citoyens de souche. Certains d'en vous trouveront cette affront justifié

Que devons-nous faire ??? déportations MAINTENANT

La semaine dernière un type est arrivé en pétard à la médiathèque parce qu'il avait reçu un mail de relance pour 2 BD et il était vraiment méga énervé lol il me dit "ma fille dit qu'elle a rendu les bd, vous vous rendez pas compte à quel point c'est anxiogène de recevoir ce mail alors qu'on a rien à se reprocher, elle s'est pris une soufflante alors j'espère que c'est pas pour rien !!!" alors. moi aussi je souffre d'anxiété généralisée monsieur je comprends donc à quel point ça peut être angoissant mais il faut doser quand même mdr et puis est-ce ma faute si vous engueulez votre fille sans d'abord nous contacter pour savoir si elle les a rendus ou pas ses livres ? bref c'est la millième fois que ça arrive et dans 99% des cas les livres sont bien encore chez la personne même si elle nous jure que non mais comme on n'est pas là pour se faire souffler dans les bronches souvent on fait genre on les croit et on enlève les doc de leur compte (parce qu'on sait qu'ils vont finir par revenir avec)

donc ce soir le gars revient comme une fleur avec, ça alors 😱, les BD sous le bras et il force sa fille à me dire pardon par contre lui qui m'a hurlé dessus pas un pardon lol visiblement c'est trop anxiogène pour lui bref si un jour votre médiathèque vous dit que vous n'avez pas rendu un livre alors que vous pensez que si je vous en supplie vérifiez quand même chez vous avant c'est ma santé mentale qui est en jeu

bronch. 🥂

[small-strong-bookish-butch]

My surgery yesterday went well. N and I prepped for it by watching a lot of bronch videos the night before, so they could understand what's happening.

I slept basically all day yesterday, and was very weak from anesthesia. I was only up for maybe an hour for dinner, and I stayed up late because I was worried I'd choke on my spit.

I didn't realize until this morning that there are incisions on the sides of my neck, under my ears. They were sore this morning, not as much now.

I'm grateful for my friends who live there, who are always excited to see us, and to hang out with us. They're very kind, and they've known me since I was.... 4?, and they clearly love me. (They also don't have kids, and so I'm kind of their kid when I visit.) It's always a nice (and somewhat surprising) thing to feel.

As of today, there are plans for a next step surgery, in January. It'll be low intensity; it'll be me staying in the hospital at least overnight. If it's doing what we think, it'll fix my stridor and my sleep apnea, hopefully.

I can only speak very quietly today.

I'm very proud and appreciative of N for learning so much and taking care of me. They're such a good spouse, and I know they're doing the most they can to take care of me (they called probably 20 different pharmacies to order a part for my sensor that expired and Walgreens hadn't told us to refill, so my blood sugars during my surgery would go smoother).

I'm exhausted, much more than I thought I would be. Just drained. We got home about an hour ago, and I'm very grateful that I don't have plans for this weekend. Hopefully I can recover, not sure exactly how.

As a urologist this sounds like bladder cancer

There are several types of bladder cancer, so without knowing what the pathology is it’s hard to say what his prognosis is. About 70% of tumors can be managed without major surgery or chemotherapy. I am guessing by his “routine treatments” that he has a good prognosis

------

Not in the traditional sense. Some bladder cancers can be managed by putting therapy directly into the bladder through a catheter. In the US we use something called BCG, but we can also use other types of chemotherapy. It’s very different than getting normal chemotherapy.

That statement is what makes me think he has bladder cancer and is likely undergoing a BCG regimen.

------

My dad had / has bladder cancer. From what I understand, the specific type of bladder cancer determines whether it's aggressive or not. Again, "from what I understand", there are two factors that determine the severity: what tissues are affected (superficial tissue to muscle tissue to actually through the wall and into neighbouring organs / tissue) and the type of cancer. Some types spread more rapidly. Basically: an aggressive type that already penetrated the muscle tissue is extremely bad news, while a non-agressive type in the superficial tissue is very treatable.

u/gu_doc please correct me if I got it all wrong!

gu_doc: You are absolutely correct.

------

Every BPH surgical treatment that I can think of will involve direct visualization or imaging of the bladder. It’s not too uncommon for us to look in the bladder when evaluating BPH and find a bladder tumor.

------

It’s not uncommon to incidentally find bladder cancer when working up a prostate. Obviously there are many other possibilities, but this is my guess.

------

I was wondering (because I legitimately don’t know) if BCG is used over there. Don’t they use BCG as their tuberculosis vaccine? I wonder if intravesical BCG is more or less effective in that case

------

They almost might have thought something was like reactive tissue but turned out CIS or something. I don’t know. Maybe they put him up in stirrups and found a wart.

We don’t always scope before BPH procedure in my practice if we have a prostate volume from another source

------

BCG reduces the risk of recurrence, so fewer times going to the OR potentially. We treat people in their 70s and 80s all the time for this

------

Why do I jump to bladder primary? Because it fits the story to me.

The perception I got is that this other primary was found during a BPH surgery. Not during scans or evaluation, but during a surgery. Areas often overlooked that would be seen better during surgery would be something oral, maybe something of the lungs/airway (maybe he got bronched due to blood on ET tube placement?), penis, testicles, bladder, and anus.

Again, as a urologist, bladder fits the story to me. We are obviously missing a ton of information here as they’re being intentionally vague. I could be way, way wrong. I could just see it. This happens not infrequently in my practice.

And I don’t mean UCC metastatic to the prostate. I’m saying they saw it on cystoscopy and biopsied it separately.
