So my father's back in the hospital, after another seizure two days after they took him off one of the anti-seizure meds he was on. So that experiment didn't work...
Did he have side effects? Why did they want to take him off?
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh no Jesse. Why did they want to take him off it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
He's just on a ton of meds now, and super lethargic, and one of the other ones was supposed to be anti-seizure in addition to helping his mood. I don't know why they decided that was the one to stop, but I think my mother thought it was a good idea. Meh.

I'm sorry, Sail. Know how it is.
Jesse, sorry he's back in the hospital, but hopefully lesson learned well and that med can go back on the roster for helping him.
I managed to make none of the eight million phone calls & appointments I should've today. Ahrg. I seriously am going to get a whiteboard to make a visible running list to track these things, I'm tired of them being in my head.

In better Moncton news, there was a vigil tonight to remember the fallen officers, and my twitter timeline is filled with pics of people lined up to hug or shake hands with the Mounties that are at the vigil.

Was just reading about human evolution -- we had ancestors with super-efficient livers that were much better about counteracting poisons and making enzymes. With the start of agriculture and a much more limited (and tasty! and convenient! and civilization-inducing) diet, the genes for that started to fall by the wayside.
The upshot of this evolutionary change is that random liver/metabolic enzymes show up in some people and not in others, which makes certain kinds of drugs a crapshoot. Same dose that does a perfect job on one person could be an overdose for another, or because of a very efficient liver never reaches clinical levels in the blood.
It's surprising more doctors don't drink.

That is super interesting, Theo.
Home from Happy Hour. A successful experiment, I think.

I think more doctors do drink! And drugs are totally a crapshoot in many many ways.

OK, the good news is, I was able to shove my sofa out of the way of where the new one will go. That is a problem I don't have to worry about tomorrow!

Yay for problems you can shove out of the way!
