I'm so relieved to hear that, Steph.
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
P-C, maybe if you phrased *just* a little different. But nice to see your brother knows you well.
And yes, my family would all do the "morbid" line. Which explains why none of us has a will.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Holy cats. My brother just called me -- he can use his phone, and his wife can visit him (with the dog -- for real) -- and said he's all settled in, full of Ativan, and a bag of saline because he was severely dehydrated, and probably vitamins b/c his body is fairly wrecked.
And he's got hepatitis. I shouldn't be surprised, but I'm still adjusting to the rehab thing. His doctor said that as long as he never drinks again, his liver should heal. I honestly don't know much about hepatitis, so I don't know if that's true. I asked him if the doctor said if it was hep A, B, or what, but he didn't know. I know hep C isn't curable, so I'm assuming it's not hep C.
So...I think he did this whole thing in the nick of time. Jesus Christ.

He probably has alcoholic hepatitis, not one of the viral ones (A, B, C). Hepatitis is just inflammation of the liver. See: [link]

Steph, I've gotten caught up on this and I'm so glad he got to the hospital and he's getting help.

Thanks for the link! You know, I don't think I realized (despite the "-itis") that it's just inflammation, and can have various causes. Dur.
God DAMN, he's fucking lucky it hasn't progressed to cirrhosis.

The hospital he's in really does allow dogs to visit, so his wife is taking their dog tomorrow. That's pretty cool.

You had a brain fart of love.

Yeah, that was basically my reaction.
