BEEN SICK - May still be!

I’m sorry I haven’t posted for a few days. I went down on Tuesday afternoon. The doctor has called it an intestinal infection most likely from something I ate. Tuesday night was the worst night of my life. (Have you ever noticed that the worse of everything you have ever experienced is the one you are currently experiencing.) I felt better Wednesday afternoon after seeing the doctor. I originally suspected my heart. It wasn’t. However having the runs at both ends at the same time and have one or the other or even both every 10-15 minutes sure ruins your sleep (ha, who am I kidding — what sleep). About the time I think it is going away, it starts up again. It’s 5:00 am, not my usual rising time, and I am up again with a bad stomach. My shoulders, eyes and mind say go to bed. My stomach and rear end says sit on the toilet. I sense it will come again so I decided to try and write a tried note to let you know what is happening.

Both the doctor and nurse said I should go on the BRAT diet to settle my stomach. I had never heard of it before. It is banana, applesauce, white rice and dry toast. Sounds awful. But is helps. I just think I’m over it quicker that I am. I could only do it on Wednesday and not I need to go shopping. My neck is sore from laying my head down and I also want to see my chiropractor. If I don’t do it today, it will not happen until Tuesday.

Are you fed up with my complaining by now? Me too. Let me briefly change the subject, at least until my stomach says run.

How’s this for a headline. Seismologists Tried for Manslaughter for Not Predicting Earthquake. “Earthquake prediction can be a grave, and faulty science, and in the case of Italian seismologists who are being tried for the manslaughter of the people who died in the 2009 L'Aquila quake, it can have legal consequences. The group of seven, including six seismologists and a government official, reportedly didn't alert the public ahead of time of the risk of the L'Aquila earthquake, which occurred on April 6 of that year, killing around 300 people, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. But most scientists would agree it's not their fault they couldn't predict the wrath of Mother Nature/”

This goes right along with my theory that everything that happens in life is someone’s fault and they must pay. There are no accidents anymore. Some one always is the cause and we must find out how to pin it on someone. This better not be the start of a whole new line of litigation. If it is, brace yourself for a class action suite against our own government for the massive number of exceptionally destruction tornados this year. Has anyone heard if the people of Japan have sued the seismologists in Japan over the tsunami?
