Oz ,'Same Time, Same Place'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Timelies, all. Much ~ma to everyone who needs it.
He should be released today, unless an alien baby bursts out of his chest.
Oh, Tep. I know it's serious and you're worried, but this made me snort tea through my nose. Poor guy. And poor you, with the insomnia. Hope the doctor has good things to say.

Shouldn't that have shown up on the angiogram, if it were there?
He had a CT scan on Sunday that showed he had gallstones, which the doctor said *might* cause pain/discomfort to radiate toward the general chest/heart area, and Dad could have been assuming that was cardiac-related pain
Apparently the nerves that control the stomach, the heart, and the lungs share a lot of the same routing, so pain in any of those areas can feel like pain somewhere else. The gallstones could be feeding into the stomach nerves. Hubby had some acid-reflux problems that were making him very nervous except that it was triggering his particular pattern of heart attack pains.
Strength on the long, frustrating road to diagnosis and treatment.

It's amazing how many pregnant ladies I know who were not amused by references to face huggers and chest bursters.

Yes, unless the technician performing the angiogram is really an android working secretly for The Company.

I also frequently tell him he's going to have a heart transplant soon -- a PIG heart. (Though pig heart valves are actually used in valve transplants.)
And then I just talked to him to see if he was going home today (he hasn't seen the doctor yet, so -- holding pattern), and he said "If they need to take my gallbladder out, that's fine. But I don't know how they do it, these days." (He meant Big Huge Incision as in Days of Yore vs. current laparoscopic surgery.)
However, I told him that gallbladders are actually removed by those fake "doctors" you always see on TV shows about supernatural shit, who just wave their hands above a patient's abdomen and then suddenly BAM! they hold the patient's liver/tumor/whatever in their hands!
Dad thought that sounded kind of cool, actually. Especially if he could be on TV. (The man, after years of cardiac trauma, has a *good* sense of humor.)

Alien babies are notoriously wily, and will go hide somewhere else, like behind the appendix.

When they're not mooning the monitor and cackling.
Aw, Tep could have a little alien baby brother or sister.
The bonus of sleeping at my parent's is that there is already coffee when I wake up. Slept good. Or hard. Hopefully both. I could have used about another three hours.
Off to work now. Back to the hospital at lunch and then after work.
gronk.
Poor Cass. I hope things let up for you a little, soon, and that the rest of your family finds some peace.
Ugh. Home with migraine. So much for my day.
