Lots of things going on around here... not that I'm complaining but
multiple messups. I first had computer problems... about the time I got
the computer figured out, I had a problem with hypokalemia (low
potassium).
I'm on diuretics and I had always been on the ragged edge of low. We
found out the hard way we can't do that because any exacerbation can
really mess me up. (I did it about three years ago, not as bad.) This
time, I went to the hospital in an ambulance (after I called my medical
insurance emergency line and told THEM how I felt.... I wasn't sure
what was going on).
I spent a number of hours trying to sleep but couldn't, then trying to
stay awake but couldn't, then about normal after that.
About the time I was getting to the point where I was feeling like
doing something, I wandered down the hall to the central area because I
wanted a little more excitement.
They were watching one of the Star Wars episodes that I hadn't seen
(Star Wars I.... I'm more of a Trek fan anyway).
They had a dialogue in it that went something like this:
Anakin Skywalker: "Ouch! What was that for!"
[whoever it was]: "We had to check your blood."
I got this big <grin/duck> look on my face and the person next to me
wanted to know what was so funny.
Me: "I want to go to the STAR TREK HOSPITAL next time!"
The person who asked: "The STAR TREK HOSPITAL?"
Me: "The absolute worst thing you hear in STAR TREK is 'Jim, he's
dead!'... and you NEVER see any needles!"
The whole room roared!

prolific junk mail on the living room floor along with other stuff

mail for its dumpster trip. FWIW, the medical insurance book was on top
of all the junk mail. They have a 24x7 help desk for people who wonder
if they should get help NOW (and how... EMS comes, somebody else can
drive you, or you can drive yourself) or wait until doctor's hours. I
asked them what I should do if I had about 3 hours of sleep in the past
48 (thirsty, feeling "unable to catch up", blood glucose slightly
elevated, potassium down severely... it'll do it to you). The help desk
called EMS and stayed on the line until they got there. They also had
the city police, but the thought was that I just needed to have
whatever was stopping me from sleeping corrected. Mainly potassium, and
some dose adjustments to existing meds, but they also dropped in some
Ambien in case that wasn't enough. I needed it last night, because I
hadn't slept with the CPAP for almost a week and it felt weird. We're
going to be twiddling everything for a while but I'm adjusting what I'm

careful not to kick the DSLAM like I did earlier this morning (it's on
the floor). Made a cable come loose and it took some headscratching to
figure it out.
About the last day, everybody said I looked too good to need a
hospital. <grin/duck>
My lead–footed manager drove me home in his Toyota MR2. We didn't end
out back in the hospital. He drives a LOT because he wants to live on
the coast and work next door to NASA. He's had one accident since he's
been my manager (four or five years?). It's not his fault as he got
rear–ended. He was scowling because I told him they were going to
discontinue Toyota's best model (in his opinion). If he wants to stay
in the Toyota family, I suspect he'd like some of the others... he's
talked "Prius" but they take too long to get. If I decided to upgrade
after my long happy Corolla ownership, and it's just general wearing
out, I may go in and say "when can you get me one?" IMHO, it would be
cool and I can afford the difference between one and another Corolla.
(I'm not going to worry over the price because I know they're being
snapped up and if I don't pay sticker somebody else will.)

Nope, no worms, virus nor any kind of problem like that. It's an older iMac
which for some reason loses connection without warning. On a hub and I've
switched cords with the other machine which isn't having the problem, so it's
a local issue. The card shows ok but I'm wondering if it needs to be
re–seated?

Glad to hear you're feeling better and are at home yet?
Sitting in the normal chair, in front of the normal computer, being careful not to kick the DSLAM like I did earlier this morning (it's on

Being in the hospital is ok as long as you're not aware of it, but after
that it sucks.
The one I was in had a central area for bored ambulatory patients. that it sucks.
