Yeah, total nothing-ma to Sumi.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So I submitted a couple scenes to a theatre company who is once again doing a run of shows where they improvise full plays from initial scenes. They said my scenes weren't a good fit for the show, but they did really like them, so I can come see any show for free if there are seats or get advance tickets for half off. I have no idea whether everyone who submitted and didn't get in got a similar e-mail (it wasn't a mass e-mail, but it could have been a form letter for all I know), but as rejections go, it's pretty nice!

So, I've been admitted to the hospital & will have a ct scan & an ekg before the surgeon comes to see me. I'm getting "normal" saline-- whatever that means.

Ack! I'm glad you're being taken care of. "Normal" saline is for people who don't qualify for the special saline. Actually, as you know, they're just making sure your blood volume stays up.

Oh my goodness. Hope it turns out to be nothing much, sumi. The word normal in there is hopefully aa good sign.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Sumi, "normal" saline means the concentration of NaCl in the IV is close to human physiological concentration. That's all.
I'm glad you're getting tests to figure this out!

Thanks. I have ti say that this hospital is pretty swanky. Only single rooms & internet. Althouh their keyboard defeats me so i'm on my phone. Surgeon is coming after his office hours so 5ish.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Yikes! Sumi, I hope it's nothing. And if it is something, make it an easy thing. In the mean time, enjoy the swankness! Adjust that bed. Um. Yeah. Not sure how else to enjoy swankness of hospital. No matter how swanky, I always just want to get out.

Because books.
The fluids are just to help replace any you lost, sumi. And thank goodness you called the doctor! Hang in there.
