Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Hil, I'm so glad you called 911, and that you're recovering so well! (As an aside, did you go to Anderson Mercy, or a different hospital?)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Omg Hil! Glad you are ok.

David, I hope you go home and rest and take it easy for as long as you need. Thinking of you.

Good on you for calling 911, Hil.

I hope you got a good night's sleep, David, and are feeling the love and support everyone is beaming.

Aw! Their babies will be godlike in their beauty.

Hil, you're the FOURTH friend of mine I've found out was hospitalized with a heart attack or heart failure in the past week! I knew these things get more common as we age, but I didn't expect them to be scheduled all at once.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

They brought me to UC.

I am SO relieved to hear that! Anderson Mercy is where my dad has been taken for some heart stuff, and they SUCK.

The EMTs asked me if I had a preference about which hospital, and I said that I didn't, so I'm not sure how they decided, but everyone at UC was really great.

So glad you called 911 and got good care, Hil!
