Good news, everyone!

Dad does not have a heart defect, or any other clots. He is out of the hospital with pain killers and anticoagulants and an appointment to see another specialist later, but they don’t think he’s at further risk although of course they still don’t really know exactly what happened.* He gets to give himself shots of Lovenox for a couple of weeks just like I did, though. For more information, you can see his account.**

Sophie was not on the I-35 bridge when it collapsed.

My health insurance is being reinstated by the UW, with a summer’s worth of premiums to be taken out of my first fall check. Also, since Dad’s heart is fine (and we’re still waiting to hear if he’s the source of my Factor V Leiden after all), there is no pressing need for me to get checked for Super Sekrit heart defects after all.

As previously reported here, my friend Laura’s daughter Abby is out of the hospital and back home.

I finally caved to my bizarre obsession and bought a Hannah Montana CD. It’s better not to lie about who we are, right?

Thanks to everyone for their kind words this week. Also, happy birthday to my mother.

*Possibly the whole thing stems from him mocking Oscar the Death Angel Kitty.

**Apparently my mother threw down with an ER nurse. This is not surprising.

    Well, that’s been the theme of my whole damn day.

    Not lying about who I am totally got me out of jury duty today. Apparently, thinking the jury system itself isn’t such a good idea will get you off (although not automatically). Also, not agreeing with drug policy will get you out of drug cases, and if you say that “why, yes, that *might* just make me biased” will get you excused immediately. w00t!
