I'm touched by all of your concern. Well, not
Ransac since he IS beating me up in the Singleton MP game
Seriously though, I got a call from my wife on Monday saying that she was having severe abdominal pain and if I could come and look after the kids (and pick them up from school). Which I did and we called our doctor and she recommended that we go to the emergency room. Which, if anyone else has experienced, we knew would take a LONG time, as we've done that before too.
So we weren't seen until about 3 hours after we got there (which was expected) and after questions and prodding, were told it'd be good to get an abdominal CT scan to rule out appendicitus, gall bladder problems, etc. Which would take at least another three hours because she had to drink this stuff called "contrast"(?) so it'd show up on the CT scan but the scan could only be done 90 minutes after drinking so it'd have time to work through the body. Then the results didn't come back until maybe 2 1/2-3 hours after that, so it was about 3 AM on Tuesday.
So the CT scan came back negative for all that stuff but they recommended that she stay in the hospital to take antibotics via IV and see their gastro-specialist. So of course I had to get the kids ready in the morning and take them to school, etc. And later in the early afternoon, it seems she was responding to the treatment (white cell count was down) so they let her go and I took off yesterday to let her recover.
So she seems a little better but still not fully recovered.
And yes, I know COBOL and assembler, but no Perl
