On the Way To Central DuPage Hospital

I called the nephrologist today.  We're setting up an admission for the hospital for today, once they have room..

I'll be in for a couple of days while they administer heavy doses of diuretics to get the excess fluids out of me.  So it looks like I'll miss the Dove Season Opener on Thursday, but should be out (and in better shape) for the Cub Scout Campout this Saturday/Sunday.   I'm all packed and am bringing the laptop and Firefly DVD's.  The dog is going to the neighbors to stay, while I'm in.

I had my Fall planned out through the end of November.  I had a clear path.  Now, it's all chaos.

It feels like the end of Serenity (the movie):

          ZOE
          Sir, we have a green light.
          Inspection's pos and we're clear
          for upthrust.

          MAL
          Think she'll hold together?

          ZOE
          She's tore up plenty. But she'll fly true.

          MAL
          Make sure everything's secure.
          Could be bumpy.

          ZOE
          Always is.
         

And they weren't talking about the ship.
