[Note: I wrote this yesterday, 18 June. But the blog wasn’t working. Now (1pm, 19 June) it is.] Yesterday, when I started feeling better, I had dozens of one-liners about the absurdity of hospital life. It also helped to have friends stop by, chew the fat and joke around.

I have a new normal now, and it’s getting old. I haven’t eaten in close to a week, and my intake is entirely from bags of liquid dispensed by “smart pumps” that beep loudly and often for what seems most of the time to be no reason at all.

Well, my experiment with staying off morphine didn’t pan out. An x-ray that required laying on my very tender belly this morning put me over the edge. More reporting (and hopefully on matters other than health) when I feel like it. Pretty spaced out right now.

The doctor found and removed a polyp. It does concern me that my tummy hurts a great deal — enough that the work I hoped I could get done tonight is nowhere near my mind. My tummy always hurts when I’m hungry, and it hurts the same way now, so I don’t know what the deal is there.
