I can't believe the day I'm stuck at the hospital y'all spend the whole time talking about sandwiches. If ever there was a time to post cat pictures, today was the day.
JZ's tucked in for the night. I massaged her feet and calves and upper arms and scalp (basically anywhere I could reach that wasn't hooked up to a machine) until she got loopy.
She was Very Brave Indeed facing the exciting challenge of multiple IV sticks and the just-relax-while-I-stick-a-carjack-in-your-cooter speculum fun.
At one point, a doctor was telling her that she wouldn't get to eat until midnight. As the last thing she'd eaten was breakfast at 7am, this almost made her cry. Fortunately, they turned over the 7pm bloodwork more quickly and the spanikopita I had waiting for her little Greek self was consumed promptly at 8:30.
Oof, this is a good margarita. The Cointreau is key. Also the fresh lime. And a decent Tequila. Ice and salt are good too.
Well, if it helps -- I did post a cat related techinical problem I had in the technical problem thread.

You totally would have killed us if you'd checked in to find nothing but cat pictures.
David, I'm so glad things seem to be hunky dory.
Hec, JZ reports that she's proud of you for not swigging the tequila straight from the bottle, as were the places reversed, she's sure she would be (and I expect she's rolling over and going to sleep right about now).

Robocat reboot?

No, I scrolled past a great deal of entertaining Reuben kibbitzing. JZ wants me to print out Natter and bring her hard copy tomorrow.

Just goes to show that her standards for Good Husband are set relatively low.
Hec, is there anything we can do for you tomorrow or Sunday?
Also, is JZ allowed phone calls (in the AM, not now), and does she have her cell with her?

She's already bored and misses Natter. They want at least 24 hours with no bleeding and all the other tests lined up nicely before they'll turn her loose. She's still spotting a bit, so I think that she won't get out until Sunday. It might be nice to have some visitors on Sunday. We could do that Slings and Arrows marathon and just hang out. Depends on when she's released though.

She does have her cell, and I think she would welcome a call after mid-morning. Be warned, she may make you look up the movie listings on TNT tomorrow since she's chafing under the non-TiVo basic cable options. We watched The Mummy (Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisze edition) tonight. Every time the nurse walked in there was a great deal of howling going on. JZ found it diverting.
I'll set aside Sunday for coming to visit you all then, and come see you if it works for you. I'll also give her a call or two tomorrow, and have the TNT listings handy.
My father?
Didn't come home.
It was midnight madness at the shirt store.
(this came up again because it was my brother's birthday and his way into the world was a hemorrhage.)
- My* standards for a good husband are low.
Laugh at my jokes and show up when I'm bleeding to death and you can be my OTP.
