Dentist-ma for askye.

Calli, congrats on dodging one bullet, so to speak.

Best wishes, connie.

Where are you trying to fly, Aimée?

Michigan, middle of July. Not seeing anything below $300, really. I'm trying to avoid overnight flights in case Em decides to be cranky. I'm not sure we'll have a seat for her this time.

I hope this leads to really effective treatment, connie.

They gave us a booklet on the procedure. They send in a catheter and attach electrodes to various parts of the heart itself, then proceed to stimulate various areas in order "to induce an incident." "You may faint, but this is part of the procedure and is not cause for alarm." IE, when we find the bad boy that causes your heart to say "What the fuck!" we know we're in the right place. Once they've found it, they then remove it, and another part takes over control.

Damn, I just realized I should tell his sister and all, so she can be there if seh wants. Immediate family, blah blah, right to be there, etc. Do a spouse's right to sit there without having to talk to anyone outweigh any sibling rights to keep watch over their brother? Nah, I'll let him tell her if he wants. He hasn't made a point of telling her in the past.

Wow, that's pretty cool that they can do that. Sounds scary to go through, but it does make a lot of sense.

Dental-ma for askye...I'm gonna bogart some because next week, I have to go and gum weakness is kind of a familial tendency despite the fact my mother fiends for dental floss to the point that I'd know something happened to her if she didn't have any. She brought her toothbrush following her lumpectomy.

Much surgery ~ma to your DH, Connie.

Probably not, but can you give a friendly warning at the time, like, "The only way I get through these things is to shut down. If I seem unsociable, I don't mean to be. That's just how I ride it out."

I'm so shallow right now. A repair guy came today and he has a British accent. I chatted with him just to hear him talk. And then he came back! With the regular guy and I didn't get to chat so much.

Shit, I married someone for the same reason.

Now who's shallow?

ION, is it wrong that since I answered my question for someone who works as an iPod development manager, I think I should get a free iPod for my trouble? A mini'd be fine.
