You'd think as fit as I am that I'd be able to kick a cold quickly - but when I get sick I stay that way for ages. I gave in to the sick and went out once this weekend - to CVS where I had to request the pharmacist for that newly controlled substance "pseuphedrine." She asked how much I wanted..."Enough to start my own meth lab!" She chuckled. On the way home I tried to rent grindhouse but blockbuster has an exclusive deal so hollywood video doesn't carry it!?

The meeting this morning a) didn't happen, and b) didn't suck. My dad's waking up and his temperature is down - his lung capacity may have increased as well. I can be happy that we're not talking about pulling the plug today, but I've had every happy news day yoinked later so I'm not getting excited. His wife wants to either call relatives or sit with him, even pay someone to sit with him, so when we wakes up someone talks to him - because he tends to wake up and start to hyperventilate...I think she's nuts myself. I can't imagine that speaking to him is that big a deal, but I'm not going to rain on her parade. What disturbs me is she "couldn't live with herself" if she let him go while knowing he might make it. I think she's skipped right over his feelings about quality of life - but hopefully he will continue to wake up, feverless, and be able to tell us what he wants.

When you're sick there is nothing on tv. Have something you need to do - they're showing the best movie / dirty jobs / mythbusters / nature program / anime / classic cartoon ever.
