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.

right now I wish I had money and could help, however my own need for insulin appears to overriding my desire to assist you. dammit.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

just glad he's not in the basement. Good luck Tev and Nit.

Do keep us informed! And tell Nit that Spirry wishes him well, much mewing, and less-than-threes.

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.

And he just called -- he's being released

Good news.

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

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.

good luck Martin, now oppress some masses once you get back to a computer.

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.

Once again the powers of SCIENCE triumph over the natural world.
Be glad you live in the time you do, most of which we take for granted would be impossible even one hundred years ago.

Do what preventives you can Nitram, the smurfs* have gotten uppity again while you were gone.

*Yes I do know the difference between medieval serfs and an 80's cartoon show. However when I think of the users of this board in a collective, I picture a bunch of smurfs. I dunno, I think it's the blue.

some one just call me and hipper once the cyber pancreas is available.

Well, be sure to take those antibiotics properly! Even non-MRSA staph can be vicious.

I'm hoping this is the last "Nitram hospitalized" thread we'll see - I am wishing you vastly improved health, sir!

Is it too early to test your recuperative powers by offering you a beer?:D

Damn, couldn't you read (getting books from a library, or hospital "collection") or write?
Glad to hear thet you're recovering (again) and getting better (again). Keep well! (And get well!).

Damn! Foiled again!

More seriously, it's good to see you well and back in action.

Glad things turned out OK. Hope you're not back there any time soon.
