I'm more broken than you

[Drunk Monk]

You mean like when you get shot with an arrow and you notch the shaft and fill it with gunpowder then lit it and push it through the wound to cauterize it? 

Always wanted to try that to see if it works…

You be you. I'll film it.

NOT A GATHERING

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

So, my well-traveled brethren, any experiences with intestinal parasites? Starting on Saturday morning my bowels took to producing water. No cramping, just butt-fountain. I feel fine otherwise. I suspect a suspect it might have been the raw oysters from Friday night. As of now, no change. Any of you ever have the same thing?

[King Bob]

Could be bacteria as well.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

True, that.

Hydrate

With electrolytes

If it keeps up for much longer, see a doctor.

Hopefully it’ll pass soon. Then eat a lot of probiotics - real yogurt, pickles & kimchee from the refrigerated section, preferably in glass jars, that sort of stuff. That would be my approach. Hope you’re feeling better soon.

Coincidentally I had an intestinal issue last week. Bright red diarrhea as if I’d eaten a lot of beets. Thought it might be some sort of internal bleed for a while but it went away after 3 days. Had me scared for a bit, especially with everything going on last week.

Yikes! No bright colors so far. 

Thanks for the advice; I already have yogurt in the mornings and pickles from a jar are a delight, so I'll take you up on that. I have a doc phone call arranged for tomorrow afternoon. Soonest available. Great way to lose some holiday weight, I guess.

[Drunk Monk]

Hope you heal fast on this.

If they give you antibiotics, hit the probiotics after that. 

Still not sure what that was about for me last week. I had no beets. I ate at a Japanese restaurant the night before - salmon teriyaki. The remaining days I ate my usual diet. I’m just glad it went away. Maybe it was some stress related thing.

The male nurse who did the blood draw for me at Kaiser did a horrible job. I have the giant bruise in the crook of my arm. At first I couldn't think of why I would have a bruise there but then I spotted the puncture mark in the center of the bruise and it all came back.

Today, I, too, have a phone appointment with my doctor. We're going to talk about my shoulder and whether I should just donate it to Goodwill.

Damn

Is D00M getting our arses kicked in 2025 or what?

Well, at least 2025 is almost over.......

Here is the response I received from those kidders over at Kaiser after they looked at my x-ray.

“ Mild prominence of the left acromioclavicular joint with slight cephalad displacement of the distal left clavicle with respect to the acromion. Appearance is worrisome for possible AC joint separation, although of uncertain chronicity.”

Now *that* is some stunning prose. I feel stunned after reading it.

In other news, Imodium is like magic.
