00:21:53: .@Brittanie nothing in tube with me. Paper is flammable. I bring DVD to watch on TV outside tube, but no glasses or contacts! :D
00:38:53: @Brittanie might get twitchy, have seizures, or pneumothorax. Sound is piped in I guess. Gotta pee first. You wear:
00:39:54: @Brittanie 100% cotton scrubs provided by office. No underpants. :( no makeup, hairspray, lotion, deodorant.
00:41:01: @Brittanie jerks. I know I can do this. Won't be fun & I might get anxious but I've got backup at least for my first go-round.
00:44:05: I'm putting together an outfit to wear post-tube. Has to go with a hat since I won't be able to do my hair tomorrow.
00:45:18: Thinking of navy blue skirt, tank & cardigan with new newsboy hat from Earthbound Trading. I'll take makeup for afterward.
01:00:32: @Brittanie NO UNDERPANTS! MINE MIGHT SEKRITLY BE OMG COMBUSTIBLE!!! I know, right?
01:01:21: How many ppl do you know who've had to have hyperbaric oxygen therapy? Srsly. This is my life. It's kind of nuts.
01:04:05: @Brittanie did she have it done? I pop in The Tube at 10:30. I arrive sooner to get dressed. #goingtubing
01:05:17: @Quiara OMG I'M NOT A TRUCK! I'm awake because...I don't know. #percocetfail #goingtubing
01:06:28: @Quiara I thought about Kelsey when I first saw it. He would lose.his.shit. #goingtubing
01:13:30: RT @petapixel: What an oil slick looks like from space: http://j.mp/cnkT8v <-scary, scary stuff! I really hope it doesn't hit land!!
01:14:40: @Quiara word. I lucked out on mine. His were way more extensive, too. We're hoping no flesh loss from this. #goingtubing
01:16:27: @Brittanie I don't know if meds are available. I'll bring my percocet in case.
01:18:37: .@Quiara the universe seems to delight in causing me physical pain sometimes. 3RD DEGREE TISSUE DAMAGE REALLY BLOWS.
01:19:53: @Quiara I'm noticing I'm really lucid right now...but it doesn't hurt. Could I be developing a tolerance to side effects?! *gasp*
01:21:31: @Quiara #shenanigans! Man I live hashtagging everything. Also: I'm hungry.
01:21:45: @Quiara love, not live. :/
01:23:25: @Quiara truth. It might be nice to be able to get pain control without unconsciousness! #goingtubing #shenanigans
01:24:02: @Quiara I'm afraid I might have upset stomach from nerves. Let's go Saturday! #shenanicakes
01:25:37: One of my superpowers: the ability to look dead in the face of something that freaks me out, grin at it, & do it anyway. #borgBFF
01:26:20: @Quiara LIES ALL LIES!! #shenanicakes
01:27:21: Okay sleepytiemz @quiara! Loveshoo! #borgBFF
09:01:20: @ruthiem yes, I have been known to grin at puke. Both mine & others.
09:02:44: @jmarie1074 me, too. And I'm not even in the hyperbaric chamber yet. :(
09:56:25: On my way! #goingtubing
09:57:20: I've decided to name my chamber Micheal Jackson, just so you know. #goingtubing
14:22:48: Done tubing for the day. Waited to tweet till I'd gotten FOOD. I was starving. #goingtubing
14:50:38: @buddhaphish I DID, IN FACT. Were you the one who gave me a nod? Why didn't you introduce yourself?!
14:53:16: Earth is a smarter, happier, better place because @quiara is in it.
15:42:59: @buddhaphish well all right. It would've been awkward to have to bite someone. :D but yes, that was me!
17:45:33: @TheRotund my self-care tonight will involve oxycodone & Star Trek. Who knew hyperbaric treatment would HURT?! #damnedspider
18:02:49: Okay yeah well I'm favoriting THAT tweet, @sarahnbay .
18:03:11: I have to stop letting myself get so hungry that it gives me a headache.
20:12:45: The #tubing went well today, y'all. I handled it well & the necrotic area responded REMARKABLY. Looks miles better.
20:15:03: @TheRotund it was pretty unnerving. A piece of my arm was literally decaying. That breaks my brain. Talk about body awareness.
21:44:25: In case you're not weather watchers, it's getting bad in Arkansas.
21:48:12: Me, Ganon, @creech42 are in Jonesboro at AuntG/UncleA's house. Ready to head to Sanda's basement if necessary.
21:49:04: For those who don't know: I live on a farm in a mobile home. Not safe for this weather. No storm cellar; WTF is wrong with us!?
21:50:13: Stay safe my south AR friends. This is bad.
21:52:29: @jessiefulks tornado warning white county at garner south of searcy
21:53:24: Tornado warning, searcy ppl. I'm watching weather for y'all. Warning is in GARNER.
22:14:06: We're at Kelsey's mom-in-law's. She's got a big house with a huge basement. There are lots of us here.
22:21:21: @jhazlewood @creech42 doesn't either. He sees the need to get out of our house, but not need to go to Sanda's basement.
22:50:22: Tornado warning here & at home. They're calling for ppl to get in safe shelters in Weiner.
23:02:12: @sh0pah0lic90 not silly! We're used to it here but we still take it srsly.
23:18:40: Sirens in Jonesboro. We're readying for basement.
23:24:56: Geez guys it's at my house plz don't blow my house over
23:35:32: They keep focusing on the north Poinsett County line. That's my house. Worried.
23:36:24: We're safe in a basement in Jonesboro, to reiterate. How's my Searcy ppl? LR ppl?
23:37:31: Winds calmed down here. Backside straightline winds, now.
23:45:19: This is supposed to happen tomorrow too. I want @creech42 to cancel his school thing tomorrow.
23:49:22: JT said it sounded like it blew chimney off his brick house. Geez y'all if it blew bricks what's my house like?!
23:54:11: @cdintennessee not close. Our problem is straightline winds. 60 mph. Enough to blow my house over.
23:57:56: Talking about trees down, buildings collapsed near hwy 49 @ poinsett/craighead line. Freaking.
23:59:17: Good grief they're getting specific. Pumpkin Center road is my road.
