In an attempt to keep her out of the hospital, Dr. Ebrahim has given Aunt Tudi Kayexalate to get her body's potassium levels down. She had to drink a bottle of the nasty gunk today and she has another to drink tomorrow. She then has to go back to Dr. Ebrahim on Monday to have more lab work done to see if it worked. If not, there's a good chance ( Read more... )

As I was falling ill, I wrote a post that many misconstrued it having nothing to do with a certain issue. For that I apologise. I wasn't clear, I wasn't forthcoming, and I apparently wasn't fair. I try to admit when I'm wrong. I was wrong. Forgive me.

Yeah, I'm sick. Really, horribly sick. Funny thing is, I got this thing from Aunt Tudi. Typically, I just carry whatever bug is floating around and give it to her. She has a near death experience and I go buy her medicines. This time, though, I can hardly hold my head up. Oh, and I have diarrhea. What a lovely thing this malady is ( Read more... )

Okay. It's either a new form of Captain Trips or a relapse. I don't know which. Aunt Tudi went to the drugstore and got me some Zicam spoons where you open up the spoon and lick the goo off, and the goo will make you better. They say it's virtually tasteless. They lie.

(for any "lawmakers" reading this, I'm KIDDING! Do not send the Law & Order ( Read more... )

Today Aunt Tudi had to go to the doc for a follow-up from her sleep study. Her appointment was at 2 PM. I got up at 1 PM, threw on some clothes and a hat to cover the hideous Exxon Valdez oil spill that is my head, and got her to the doctor's office at 2 after 2. She's never been late for an appointment before and it's because I'm a slug she was ( Read more... )

After valiantly fighting it for several days, I woke up this morning with my body finally succumbing to the Slobovian Death Plague. I made my way to the PO only to find mekkasimian's map back in my box. I'll be re-sending it priority on Monday and complaining to the postmaster. I'm back home for good unless Aunt Tudi needs to run to the store and pick up a ( Read more... )
