...we need some staples for her head. (ka-CHUNK KA-CHUNKACHUNK!!)

Actually, I visited a different doctor this time. I lost 4 pounds between Monday and Thursday. Most of that was probably muscle. Ouch. I hate losing muscle mass. I also gained an infection--conjunctivitis (also known as "pink eye"). She diagnosed me with bronchitis and ruled out strep throat. She's suspecting mononucleosis, but we have yet to reach a final verdict on that. So now I'm pumped up on meds: a Z-pack (Zithromax), eyedrops, and an "overdose" on an OTC med that would be the equivalent of the prescription version.

My dear friend Lisa prescribed me a boquet of burgundy lilies (they're BEAUtiful!) and the most recent cinematic adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice." Despite the presence of Kiera Knightley :-P it was quite a good flick. Mom and I watched it again after Lisa left, and we stayed up til 12:30 AM! That's a big deal for mom. Lisa also gave me a lot of laughter during her visit, and that was just as helpful.

Ouch! Sad to hear you're down. And you've been sick for a week? I really feel out of touch :-/ Hope you're doing better by now, and all your itises are getting lysed.

I'll rock out extra hard at the concert for you. Nay, I shall rock face. I shall rock hard face for my ill friend in Bethel Park :-)

I'm sure my condition will go from "ill" to "illin'" because you rocked hard face for me tonight :-) Now if only I could get there somehow...

Yeah, I miss you on AIM, by the way. We talk face to face about once a month, and then through blogs/Flickr every so often. Blogs and Flickr lack the real time interaction. :-P
