UPDATE: I'm finally out of the ER -- not because of severity... they're just swamped.

[MiddleFingerMom]

.
Laying in a bed in the hallway while they put the finishing cleaning touches to my room.
.
In the ER, they sent up trays of food and I had no input -- lunch was terrible... unflavored
rice and steamed broccoli, nothing to drink, no side dishes. Up here, even though I'm on a
fairly restrictive cardiac diet, I order from a pretty varied menu.
.
I'm feeling much MUCH better!!! They pumped me full of my YOU GO NOW!!! med through
an IV to drain the vast amount of excess fluid that I had retained (YES, I'M RETAINING
FLUID -- BRING ME CHOCOLATE AND LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!!!!!). I've been peeing
like the proverbial racehorse -- on all fours and everything.
.
I think this will be a relatively short stay compared to some of my others - I wouldn't be
surprised if I'm out in less than a week.
.
More later. I have nurses' amorous advances to fend off -- most notably Monique, Susan,
Kristen and Alphonso.
.
Wish me luck. I'm goin' in!!!

4. FWIW, I read recently that parsley is a great and immediate diuretic.

File it away.

[MiddleFingerMom]

12. You just made me think of a very old and vulgar "parsley joke"...

.

... that I would never dare post here -- but it still makes me chuckle.

Thanks.

5. And now I hope you're sleeping, my dear MiddleFingerMom...

You take care now, you hear?

[MiddleFingerMom]

13. My dear CaliforniaPeggy...

I probably was sleeping. Your concern and support here (and the concern and the support of so
many others) have much more of a positive impact and recovery/recuperative factor than many
may realize.
.
Thank you and thank you all for that, You have a lot to do with what makes The Fucking Immortal
MiddleFingerMom... The Fucking Immortal MiddleFingerMom.
.
You can call me TFIMFM.

I just wrote "The Fucking IMMORAL MiddleFingerMom.
.
.
.
.
.
That moniker fits like a glove, too.

16. I had morphine yesterday. I've had it before and wondered what the big deal was, but...

.
.
.
... yesterday, it took me into a marshmallow surrounding virtually immediately.
.
.
.
I said, "Whoa, doc... you just drove me to Gooberville."
.
.
.
Like I had far to go to get THERE.

[MiddleFingerMom]

18. Gimme two 8-oz Belgian chocolate bars and a box of Depends, please.

20. Well, there would be one major disadvantage that I can see.

This is what a chocolate junkie would look like:
