Oh crappity. I just found out that a dear friend spent all of the weekend, until Tuesday, hospitalized so they could give her intravenous antibiotics to knock down a raging infection.
There is definitely way way WAY too much bad stuff happening.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Here's hoping all goes well at the ER, ita.
I've found that showing up with blood on you actually gets much faster treatment.

I slept pretty much all day today. I thought this exhaustion thing had gotten better.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
How did I not know this? How was this not every fucking headline in the country?
At an April 12 event in his district, Kentucky Rep. Geoff Davis (R) said of Obama: “I’m going to tell you something: That boy’s finger does not need to be on the button. He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country.”
I feel nauseous. Seriously.

Mystery Diagnosis had a real puzzling case on the other night -- a toddler who kept throwing up after she'd been asleep for a couple hours, for months. Her parents were at their wits end, tried taking her to a large number of specialists like gastroenterologists and so on, doing their best with special diets, different kinds of anti-nausea medication and so on.
Finally, a very sharp doctor tried hospitalizing her overnight with an EEG attached. She was having a rare kind of epileptic seizure that stimulated the vagus nerve. (No daytime seizures, no seizures outside of deep sleep in fact.) The happy ending was that it was dead easy to put her on the right kind of medication and she's thriving.

Plei, I KNOW.
It's more than a little jaw-dropping that the reporter who got that quote from him actually followed up to basically say, "Tell me you did NOT just go there," and Westmoreland was more than happy to go right back there again with fuckwit abandon.
