Go to Old News (The Unbearable Lightness Of Blogging)
- Add a comment
- Go to The Short Goodbye (or "My Most Recent Near-Death Experience")
Okay! That about covers it.
I really appreciated all the comments (and emails) expressing concern. And I hope to be back blogging by Monday (if not sooner).
Have a great (remainder of the) weekend, everyone!

Its not mental. You're ill and you need hospital care, as long as it takes. The tests will show what it is and I pray it is nothing serious.

as someone who's constantly looking out for the health of dogs my first
thought is, how's your ( please forgive the dogtalk) poo? regular? firm? poo quality is an excellent signpost to the inner goings-on of any living creature. dogs being the scavengers they are, some of the poo is actually entertaining, like a cereal box, free toy inside!

And no, I still have Charlie. The doctors didn't want him ... for some strange reason.
If I ever become famous, I can donate him to the Mutter Museum (here in Philly) where, among other oddities, they display Grover Cleveland's brain tumor and Chief Justice John Marshall's gall stones.

Ah, reading you brings back such memories...
I don't write about them though because I figured everyone would be totally grossed out. It seems bloggers like to be grossed out though?
I hope that you have given Charlie up for adoption.
Feel better...I am sure everything will be fine once they figure out what's up and give you the right medicines if necessary still... 
Keep us posted of course...you know I'm going to worry if you don't post every day of so now...

Get Well Soon
The correlation between the mental and the physical holds the key. Relax and let the doctors find the problem. Thanks for commenting on my post. I dared not inflict physical pain on the student. It would have been nice if I had been able to administer corporal punishment as some school disticts in Florida still permit!! Take care!!

Obviously, this is nothing compared to what you went through, Azur.
Meanwhile, the doctors don't seem to think it's food related. They feel my "symptoms" may have begun much further back.

Maybe you should have named

My mother is a huge believer in psychosomatic syndrome, and there's just no convincing her otherwise. Despite the fact that my therapist doesn't even buy into it.

Sorry to hear that. Glad you're okay.
On the psychosomatic note, if you could cause that much by just thinking about it, you should have been able to heal your hand a while back too.

Could be salmonella...I've had that and this sounds like
The symptoms. The cause of mine was tainted Mayo...Let this be a warning to you...don't eat potato salad that has sat outside in the sun for several hours...warm sunlight will cause bacteria to grow...the bad kind that will kill you or make you wish you were dead.
Now...Let's talk about why we feel this way about our mother.
