Still waiting
Mar. 25th, 2025 11:09 pmDad called at 7 to tell me he was at the ER with mom. Her bad toe got a lot worse today just as I said it would and in a way it's a good thing. I didn't want her waiting for 3 weeks because the OR is slammed and her doc only has one day a week to do surgeries. I told her last night to go to the ER if it looked worse because they'll roust someone as an emergency surgery and take that toe before they have to take the whole damn foot because this is my specialty and I know how it goes. That said it's been 4 hours and they still haven't called. This ER is slow AF and I'm not sure I've ever been there for less than 8 hours so good luck parents.
In better news, I did get my women of the weird west story edited (thanks evil little dog) but then realized April 1st isn't the deadline, that's when it opens. So yay, I have time.
Fannish 50
Have something happy like the new anime coming out this spring.
to offset the new show I watched HOLLYWOOD DEMONS (caps are theirs) which I don't think I'll watch more of because it's hard enough to see entertainers you like being a monster let alone seeing it for 2 hours. That said I'm not sure that I knew about Stephen Collins' downfall mostly because I didn't recognize the name. I didn't watch 7th Heaven or even glanced at it.
I didn't recognize him as Captain William Decker on the first Star Trek movie or even from a tv show I loved (but honestly had forgotten entirely until I saw it tonight) The Golden Monkey. I realize I do know him (just not his name because I was watching him 40+ years ago)
He was a sick fuck, a pedophile apparently but the reason I kept watching was one of his earliest victims, a girl of 13 who would have been around my age at the time and how he kept exposing himself to her and her talking about how back then we didn't have stranger danger, no one ever spoke to us about what to do if someone did something to you. that mirrored my own experience with something similar happening to me back then. You didn't talk about it.
sigh.
But now I would love to see The Golden Monkey again but wouldn't because of him
ETA - they did keep Mom and will probably operate in a day or two. Giving her IV antibiotics which should have been done in the first damn place.
