A quick update...

It's Sarah once again...

We're 96 hours past the stroke and my Aunt is still stable. She's effectively off the respirator and she is coming out of the drug-induced coma. The hospital staff think that she'll be awake within the next 24 hours. Once she is, we will be better able to determine how bad it is and what the next steps are.

We are very hopeful, though. She is doing well, all things considered. It will likely be a long, hard road ahead, but she's a tough lady. She can do it.

As for the family, we're holding up pretty well too.

We will be at the hospital all weekend, so we won't be updating again for a while. I promise that we'll update once we're back.

Thanks, everyone, for all your support. You guys are keepers!

Hey Sarah!

Hopefully there will be no lasting damage.

We're thinkin' about you here from the depths of a pesky sickness.

Best wishes to your family. You're almost there!

I'm so glad to hear that she's making progress.

We'll continue to send lovely thoughts her way!

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.
Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.

Discuss Amongst Yourselves - January 30th, 2006

In case you don’t read my comments (and if not, you’re nuts cause that’s where all the good stuff is), Courtney has just declared herself movie illiterate. So, if you had to recommend five essential movies that everyone should see, what would they be? Let me stress: only five. For those of you with break-the-rules tendencies (like--I dunno--just picking a name out of the air... Jorge ?), your comment gets chucked out. Give’r.
