Not a happy several days
Feb. 11th, 2008 11:55 amAs I posted earlier, I slipped and fell last Thursday, spent three hours in the Emergency Room, and got sent home with a diagnosis of pulled muscle/soft tissue injury.
( And now I have Doctor's Appointment for 3PM today )

Tor and free e-books
Feb. 11th, 2008 12:40 pmIf you go to http://www.tor.com/, you'll find they're having a free e-book giveaway as part of their new site launch.
I signed up Friday or Saturday, following a pointer from John Scalzi, and having gotten my e-mail yet. Anyone know if they've gotten swamped?

And the NEW diagnosis is!
Feb. 11th, 2008 04:47 pma fractured L1 vertebrae - I'm out for two to six weeks, and will be spending most of that in bed. I'm really glad to have the Short-Term Disability insurance!
I've got a prescription for lots of hydrocodone, no more than 12 ibuprofen a day, and Zithromax - since was I headed to see him for a possible throat/lung infection when I fell, am still coughing (even with the anti-cough effects of the hydrocodone), and am considered to be a ... sensitive patient, he decided that the antibiotic would be a good thing. (Possible bacteria now? Methotrexate? Leukemia? 2-6 weeks of mostly bed rest? - all yes, that made for too good a chance of me actually having something, and it maybe turning into pneumonia.)
Anyone want to come walk some dogs? They'll get out into the back yard fairly frequently, but they do like their once or twice daily walk around the block. ;-)
ETA: With luck, I'll get my back-log of e-book organizing done!
