Sir Nitram Has Been Hospitalized
Moderator: Edi
Fifteen dollars will be on the way tomorrow, Tev, if you send me your paypal account. I'm afraid it's all I can spare.
I've not interacted much with him, but tell Nitram that were I a religious man, I would pray for his swift recovery.

I, too, wish I could offer money to the laptop fund, but alas, I am still officially poor and I, too, have a spouse with chronic health problems.
You have my best wishes, as always. Lady Tev, don't forget to take care of yourself, too - eat proper, get sleep, don't over do. (I never have appetite when a loved one is in the hospital, I have to force myself to eat)

I could spare some cash. Are we really taking a laptop collection?

I have an old (think perhaps eight years) Dell laptop that my bro wouldn't mind giving away. All it needs is a wifi card and he'll be on-line.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
Re: Sir Nitram Has Been Hospitalized
Nitram had surgery today to repair the ruptured hernia. It went nearly exactly as planned, just a couple hours late. He is now resting, and they've given him morphine for the pain.

Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

If there is a "Get Nit a Laptop Fund", I was not informed.

Re: Sir Nitram Has Been Hospitalized
I think it was more a spontaneous outpouring of affection and sympathy rather than a formal fund raiser.
But seriously, if Nit is having these problems a laptop fund might be a worthwhile gesture for those of us able to contribute.

Re: Sir Nitram Has Been Hospitalized
Oh no, the jig is up! I was going to post my paypal and have you send the money to 'Tev'!
I'm kidding. It's good to hear the surgery went well, and the happy fun of the morphine should keep his mind occupied.

Do keep us informed! And tell Nit that Spirry wishes him well, much mewing, and less-than-threes.
Re: Sir Nitram Has Been Hospitalized
If his fever's down, he -may- be allowed out today. Since I've yet to be called and told "GET ME OUTTA HERE", I kinda doubt it.

The question is, is his fever down, or are the staff just tired of patching up the holes he keeps chewing in the walls?

Re: Sir Nitram Has Been Hospitalized
Glad to hear Nitram is recovering and has been released from the hospital (and hopefully, the release is because he's actually recovering, and not because the doctors overlooked a health problem that just became asymptomatic or stopped hurting, and which will return with interest afterwards; these things can happen, I know from personal experience).
Get well soon, Mr. Martin.

Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.
Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.
They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)

Re: Sir Nitram Has Been Hospitalized
I live.
The infection was Staph, non-Mercer. I'm fighting it with the proper targetted antibiotics. Nausea and constant sleep stage over.
The hernia is repaired, as is the point of rupture. I have subdermal mesh now, bitches!
Sanity was preserved via House, NCIS, and L&O marathons, as well as finding out Gargoyles plays at 4:30 every night. Also, my mother brought her little Asus laptop which held my attention when all there was was infomercials and bad TV.
And no. Not a necro. That's fucking sad, that it could be considered one. But very true.
