Oh, ita. So glad you got a little help, but so sad it took so much and wasn't in time and as effective as it should be. I hope Monday's meeting goes well.

I had an awesome evening--girl got back from the trip to Europe and we hung out for a couple hours, and then I went to a friend's annual latke party, whic ph was delicious and huge, but then after a lot of people left, was just me and a couple good friends and a couple people I got to meet who we're awesome, and it was very happy making.

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

It's sickening what you went through, ita, but I'm so grateful you got the care you needed.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

ita, I'm so glad you got the treatment you needed, but so upset and baffled by everything that has gone on. Yay for Colin. I hope the next two weeks are gentle on you.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

ita, thanks for checking in. News is good, but your pixels are the most valuable. Colin has all our thanks as well as your own. I'm so terribly glad you got treatment, and I wish there was a procedure by which the attending who tossed you and said you couldn't come back could be put in a tiny little room and put through an amount of pain and other symptoms equivalent to yours for...an indefinite time. Bedside manner be damned, this person needs an empathy injection and a 'tude-ectomy.

I'm glad you've been treated. I'm glad Colin could help. You have all my virtual spoons for the next two weeks.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

ita, I'm glad to hear that you got the treatment you needed, and that folks at the ER seemed eager to make up for the crap you had to endure on Thursday. I'm so glad Colin was there for you.

the woman on Thursday who intimated she had ALL the power also turned out not to,

From the way people yesterday were appalled at her treatment of you, I hope her behavior comes back to bite her in the ass in a BIG way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously. I can't get over the capriciousness. But am also so glad you went back to people who will actually treat you.

Is there a way we can make SURE it does, like bringing up a snit-induced refusal to treat a patient with verified, longstanding history of intense pain with the AMA or whatever group oversees doctors' behavior at the hospital?

Tumblr is so weird (and also full of children?): I put up this story about a middle school principal yesterday, and sure I guess it's a good time to see a nice story about a school, but it's got 30K notes, we have several hundred new followers, etc. I can never predict what's going to take off, and should probably stop trying.

Skipping and poking my head for a minute to apologize to Typo Boy, whose birthday, accorsing to the Buffista Calendar, was two days ago, but I've missed posting about it.

Happy third-day-of-your-new-age, Typo Boy! With lots of wishes for a wonderful year!
