1. So, what did Supernatural do this week that has half the people on my list who still watch it go "THAT IS IT!" anyway?

2. My gallbladder and uterus appear to be conspiring to do me in. Please send replacements.

3. Hey look, LJ's scrapbook feature is working. Very good, as I have tons and tons of icons I need to upload.

All the best wishes on your health.
Don't let gallbladder problems go on unsupervised, I almost managed to do myself in by going into hospital too late. My two gallbladder stones are roughly die-shaped and a coca cola brown all the way through - very fitting, actually. Losing my gall bladder had some influence on how my body dealt with raw vegetables for about a year, these days there seems no appreciable difference.

I went as soon as I noticed something was wrong, but it took them 7 weeks to actually find it.

Damn, that's horrible. When my pain got so bad that the usual prescription-free pain killers didn't work and my stomach developed a bulge right there, my doctor sent my to hospital right away and I was operated a day after that.

I'm glad you're better now. My grandmother did in fact do herself in by going in too late, so.

[estara]

My condolences. I had thought my family doctor whom I had kept uptodate, would know best... but only when I told her the prescription free painkillers didn't work any more and I could feel a protrusion in my skin did she send me in.
Fortunately I have better than average insurance, so I got the best doctors to operate - I would have gotten the operation next day anyway (and it was done with those microscopic tools, so no large scar) even on the average German insurance, though, just not by the best surgeon of the hospital.

She died when my dad was a kid, so I'm not sure how much 'putting off' she did. (Plus my grandfather was, er, not the best person.)

That's good.

[estara]

Still, that's hard to know.

I so hope all countries at some point realise that universal health care is the only ethic way to go about caring for your population.

[lady_ganesh]

Yeah. I wish I'd known her too. (Also, my dad and I pretty much hold people down and say NO, GO FOR THE SURGERY, DO NOT PUT IT OFF.)

Me too. At least my state (Vermont, USA) is trying for it.

[estara]

*crosses her fingers for Vermont's success*

John Scalzi said that if the USians only got a taste of real universal health care they'd stop supporting parties who don't have it on the agenda. I hope he's correct.

There's already studies showing people don't want to repeal the stuff in the current reform bill. I wish the left did a better job of telling people the reality of the situation.

[estara]

Yes. I wonder why they can't, they have good media people, too.
