Hospitalisation, Eyephone, and Xynthia.
Has anyone been in the hospital for a week, or know someone that has?
It's weird because I'm not worried about the operation. I have faith that it'll make things better. Or that I might not wake up afterwards.
I'm just worried that a week in bed in a hospital is going to make my final remain of sanity snap for good.
Are computers allowed? Will I get internet connection? What will my roomate be like?
Cause yeah, first day i'm gonna be all shot up. But the next, and the next? I gotta be well enough to leave before they let me go. So what then?
At least I'll have books and hopefully my cellphone.
My brand new Eyephone, actually. It's arriving thursday. Dude, it's cool to be an old client sometimes. 14EUR for the latest. I know tehre's a new one supposedly coming out next month, but why would I care... 14EUR! And my credit will be less expensive than the one i had before. Yay for fidelity, for once.
Also, I have another question. Is it me or noone outside of France knows what happened on the coast? I expected it on monday in the news at least. But it happened Sunday during the night and the day, so I figured, maybe today. Still, today I got my NYTimes newsletter, no mention of the tempest, or the mini tsunami... I know we're no Chile, or Xynthia was no Katrina, but comparatively to our territory it's kind of a big deal, I mean... we hear about stuff when they happen overseas, so I'm wondering who's blocking the news, you know?
So, in case you were wondering, we got a tempest in France, which did the usual damage. Broken trees, flying rooftops and stuff, a few people died and there's a lot of material damage. The problem is on the west coast. It happened at the same time the great seasonal tides came in and it wasn't anticipated. A lot of people died trapped in their house under water as the seawalls caved.

My collegue and boss only got relief yesterday at 10 when she finally got a call from a friend. she had her on the phone sunday at 4am freaking out, saying "the couch is floating, i'm going on the roof! I'm gonna die!" and then she ran out of battery or network. She only could tell Tamara she was fine yesterday.
I'm still waiting on news from my aunt and uncle, but I'm less worried. They're not really in the regions that got severely flooded so I hope they can't join us becase there're still about 50.000 households without power... I dunno.
