In the hospital
« on: February 02, 2010, 08:37:02 AM »
They got me locked up again for a few days for cardiac evaluation. Lots of peeing in bottles and getting poked with needles. I don't really feel all that bad, but whatever. I have free wifi in the room, so at least I'm not completely incommunicado. Good thing I thought to bring my laptop.

Do you have a way to get home this time?  

Smart move, bringing the laptop.

Don't get too comfy though.

For the same reason folks in Minnesota ask "can I go with.......", instead of "can I go with YOU".....local colloquialism....

Well.....it just doesn't get more "midwest" than here where I live, and it isn't heard here.......perhaps "north central"...would be better.

But of course. Socialized medicine, as you know, demands that we make sacrifices.

Even still, I'm paying 120 quid per day for this little piece of heaven.

There's a similar turn of phrase in NY from the Yiddish, which is kind of a blend of Low German with some Hebraic vocabulary thrown in the linguistic mixmaster with it.  The Midwestern dialect has a lot of such Germanisms salted in it, which is understandable considering the large Germanic-language element in Midwestern settlement.  Likewise, Midwesterners might say "Wait up!" or "Wait on me!" (From "Warte auf!" or "Warte auf mich!") instead of "Wait for me!"

They juiced me up with radioactive stuff for one last scan tomorrow, but it appears that I'm looking at at least a triple bypass, if not a quad. Apparently what I thought was a touch of pneumonia last fall was a mild heart attack, and it kinda snowballed from there. I actually feel better now than I have in a couple of months, now that they got all the fluids out of me. (Well, after the cardiologist informed me of the blockages today, I felt like crap for several hours...) But they are going to let me go home in the next day or two to make arrangements and get prepared for surgery.

All that hard livin' and doctor avoidin' has finally caught up with me. Moving far away from family and friends, and shunning most humans has complicated it a bit too.
