x_cablemy own bed.
yes, the redheads actually let me go. i wasn't expecting that - had a bit of a rough night last night, but they put me through a whole battery of tests this morning and were satisfied with the results. so here i am, out of the infirmary. although i'll have daily checkups for a little while and i'm supposed to continue to discover the joy of mostly-bedrest for at least the next couple of days. fie on that, i say.
still no sign of my powers. the professor thinks they've decided to run away and hide for a while, and i suppose i really can't blame them. i have not exactly treated them all that well as of late.
i feel better. eyes aren't playing tricks on me quite so much - although i'm still eschewing the use of the shift key, mostly because it takes so long to type if i don't. still have the occasional coughing fit, but my arm hurts more than my chest at the moment, which is probably a good sign.
it's a strange feeling, knowing that the virus is gone after i've been living with it for so long. it's a relief, don't get me wrong. knowing that i no longer have something in my system that can kill me if i overexert my powers. rachel's crawling around on the floor in here and i keep thinking that my chances of seeing her grow up just increased exponentially. i suppose i'd been trying really hard not to think about that, before?
there's other stuff to do with all of this that i'm trying very hard not to think about right now. i don't really care if that's psychologically unhealthy and jack would kick me, either. i'm tired and i don't want to dwell on nasty secrets and old rat bastards and their poor timing.

Did they threaten you with needles? They threaten me with plastic needles these days. How completely unfair is that?

You know what I really don't like? X-rays. Those suck.

They feel dreadful. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard and nine times out of ten they have to re-do them because they didn't work the first time.

No more virus? Whatever the rest of it all is, Nate, that's bloody good news. Do what the nice doctors tell you and get better, yeah?

yeah. not even in my lungs anymore. moira did a little victory dance, it was very cute. you'd think she'd been fighting her own private ongoing war or something. oh wait...

Of course she did, you plonker. *grins* No more near-death experiences whenever you use your powers too much? I'd say that's definitely an upside.
Re powers. Funny how those keep coming up in conversations today. Got some food for thought along those lines myself.

well, no more near-death experiences once my powers come back. and everyone take note i said when, not if. am thinking positively this afternoon.
food for thought is always good if you don't let it drive you to distraction.

You will get them back. Might take some time, but as Moira said when mine started making their presence felt again (with the whole sledgehammer to the head pounding), it's amazing what you can heal from. Just don't push yourself too hard trying to force it and pay attention to the doctors.
See? It is possible to learn.
