obv. this is super awesome news about the house/bike path /swimmin’ hole, i am knocking on real genuine wood that it is not a scam! [like, what, you get there and there are four other tenure-track new-hires, w/ partners each, who all signed leases on the same sweet house? or “¡¿WHAT?! ‘*rope swing*’? This lease CLEARLY stipulates that there shall be a swimmin’ hole WITH A ZIPLINE located no greater than 15 minutes walk or 3 minute bike ride from the premises”! &c, &c]

i hope I am not the first person to point out that by “he holds his breath and expels it noisily over and over again” you are describing what any person breathing* sounds like to every other person. We as humans have been doing this since shortly after the dawn of recorded history!

*OK, breathing DEEPLY, which is WAY healthier than doing so shallowly, right?

“Is the spare room just filled with junk and un-un-packed boxes?”

Woe is me.

I know a lot about recovering from various orthopedic surgeries. If you want advice (or prophecy/forecasting), let me know.

For what it’s worth, the harness/cast they put little hip-dysplastic babies into is pretty gruesome – especially for anyone who has to clean up baby pee/poop. But, of course, totally worth it in the long run. Of course a lot of things that are horrible are totally worth it in the long run. We would never(!) make our patients do something horrible that would turn out to be not-worth-it. Right? I hope right.
