Suzi, I am so sad too. I'm going to see Let the Right One In on Sunday at 8:45. Does 'Suela check Bitches? I should invite her.
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

Oy. I'm going over some of my health insurance stuff. My insurance is refusing to cover anything that's a "congenital condition." Which, for me, means pretty much everything ever except occasional sinus infections. Those get covered, but those are $10 visits to the clinic.

Re: Natasha Richardson - it's not at all unheard of for closed head trauma victims to get up and walk away, only to fall into a coma and die hours or even days later. I suspect her unhelmeted head bounced off a snow covered rock or even just a hard patch of ground.

I thought blood could only be stored for a certain amount of time?
Yes, if you want it to act like blood. Cord blood has a form of blood-making stem cells in it, so if the child or a sibling later got something like leukemia, the stem cells could be used to treat it. It's kept frozen like embryos.
As a person with an uneasy relationship with gravity, I find the Natasha Richardson story unnerving.
Yay, endocrinologist! That's pretty fast, as these things go, and I suspect that may be the answer.
I'm back from the doctor's office with round three of antibiotics for the Sinus Infection That Will Not Die, this time with extra added prednisone. If this doesn't work, I get to have a head CT and be sent to an ENT doctor. This doctor at least agreed with Dr. Google's diagnosis that my very painful mouth is a form of candida and prescribed at antifungal medication. Too bad the previous doctor didn't believe me; this thing might have been gone a month ago. She was running late and it took about two hours to get in. When I mentioned that the other doctor blew me off, she said very dryly, "But he's always on time."
I'm a mess. I'm beginning to think longingly about the idea of a therapeutic coma.

People actually eat peeps? I learn somethin' new every day here!
The only reason I DON'T eat Peeps is because CERTAIN PEOPLE think they turn me into a sugar-crazed and incoherent loony.
S'mores made with very dark chocolate and Peeps are very yummy. Plus, you get the fun of setting Peeps on fire!

Re Natasha Richardson, I wonder if she had been hurt more initially after the fall, if she might have gotten help sooner and things could have been caught in time to do something.
Maybe. I think that if I cracked my head, but felt okay, I wouldn't bother to go to the hospital. I'd be on the lookout for signs of concussion, but that's it. And it sounds like that's what she did. When she got a headache later, she went to the hospital.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
my cell phone had a call come in with caller ID blocked. Naturally I didn't answer it. They didn't leave a message. I'm guessing it was some telemarketer or something. But. Damn it. I'm really curious. Who the hell was it! Grrr.
Add to that, office mate is listening to March Madness game (I dislike basketball), I am waiting on information from half dozen people, and can't do much until then. And it's a nice day out. To say I am highly unmotivated to work is an understatement.
