It’s been too long since the last one. My Liver New Taking shameless advantage of the song “New York, New York”, Written by Fred Ebb/ John Kander Let me say for the record that making parodies would be much easier if “liver” were a one-syllable word Start spreadin’ the news, you’re going away. You have…
I got a fair amount of stuff accomplished last night, mostly of the clerical variety. Bills got paid, paperwork got filed, accounts got balanced. Well, one account became balanced anyhow. The other has some problems, apparently not of my making. What is it with banks and me anyhow? Sooner or later I always seem to…
I’m not a big fan of mass-forwarding an email joke that has already been mass-forwarded to a million other people on its way to my in-bin. Today being what it has been though, it seemed not only appropriate but mandatory that I include this in my daily chronicles. Subject: Things To Say When Stressed At…
Yet another paracentesis today. We got 5.5 liters, and could probably have gotten at least two liters more, but today’s block didn’t take well. (A “block” is what they call injections of a pain-blocker to an area to anesthetize it.) I started feeling pain about three liters into the draining, and there was no way…
Well, another morning came and went, and another MRI has been performed on the ol’ hepatic lobes. I figure Dr. K should see the results in a few days, and so I’ll but him around the end of the week to find out if there’s been any changes. It seems rather weird to admit, but…
The Socialist and I had a talk last night. Evidently I’m always Gloomy Gus anymore, which makes it hard for him to hang around me. He says I never smile, and I seldom see the bright side of things. I wanted to argue with him that it wasn’t true, that I spent a good part…
I got the updated bill for my new car’s insurance today. My rates went up only $33/half year. I figure that isn’t too bad at all. I still haven’t heard from The Socialist’s agent, who I left a request with to get a quote. Supposedly I can do much better with his insurance. I’m not…
I don’t do on-line tests anymore, as a rule. They’re fun, but they really aren’t what my diary is supposed to be about. So I have to blame MoonRidden Girl for getting me sucked into this one. I couldn’t put the results into her comments easily, so I’m forced to actually post them in my…
Oh, I had plans for last night. Water the seeds, check the gardens for weeds, pay the bills, pull together a real meal for myself, comb the cats (one of whom left two rather spectacular hairballs for me to clean up in the middle of the carpet yesterday). But no, these didn’t happen. I got…
I found a news story in the Big City Paper about what Dr. Liver must have been up to yesterday. Pennsylvania physicians rally for malpractice relief Posted on Tue, Apr. 29, 2003 By Karl Stark, Marian Uhlman and Linda Loyd Inquirer Staff Writers Nearly 2,000 doctors, nurses and their supporters took off work yesterday and…
