In other news, I started throwing up tonight and now I can't keep food down.  *cries*  Twenty-four hours is all I'm going to give it before I call for reinforcements.  And I felt so good today when I saw the surgeon.

Dang it.  Hopefully I can keep some phenergan (aka Nectar of the Gods) down and get some sleep.  I absolutely refuse to be in the hospital on Christmas.  *stomps feet*

If the phenergan won't stay down, try asking the doctor for a suppository. Gross, yeah, but works wonders.

*cuddles you* I'm so sorry.

I hope you feel better soon PBG!

Will you be at the party?

[quidditchgrrl.livejournal.com]

I do have the suppositories, but they don't tend to stay down...uh, up, either.

It has to be a temporary thing, it just has to.

*sips apple juice*

I really, really, REALLY want to be there, but I am not sure if I can take the hour's drive there and back given the poo-y state of my stomach right now.

*shakes fists at fate*

Wah! I hereby fire your stomach.
Feel better. <3

Oh no!! ::Hugs::

It could be just a gastro bug? I never thought I'd wish that on someone, but here's hoping.

I'm sorry your feeling sick again. :-(

I'm sorry you're feeling so terrible! I hope you can avoid the hospital, you've been through so much already.

If it helps, there was some gift porn posted for you (http://www.livejournal.com/community/smutty_claus/2529.html) while you were away :D I hope you like it.

Oh, damn, I'm so sorry you started to feel crappy! Start to feel better you!!

We have the same authors on our shelves except for Frances Hodgson Burnett. Works?

Tennessee Williams is one of my all time favorites. He really reaches out to me. (Summer and Smoke) I like seeing his plays performed, but it's equally good, and sometimes better, seeing them in my mind. Quite different from Shakespeare, whom I enjoy on stage far more than in my mind.

I decided not to do the author meme when I ran across this on someone else's journal and it made me feel inadequate. (`).(`)

Then I realized that I had loads of classics in addition to some of the bestsellers and crime novels and such. There are loads of different ways to view what is classic, no?

Frances H. Burnett is the author of The Secret Garden and A Little Princess. I love her descriptive prose.

And I am totally in love with Tennessee Williams - I agree, he's great in both mind and on stage, while Shakespeare really has to be acted out for me to cement an opinion.

I figure when it comes to great literature, I'd rather enjoy it than slog through it just so I could say I'd read it. My bookshelf has a lot of weird stuff, and I tend to read more non-fiction than anything. And smutty romance novels. :>
