Worst thing about coming home from the hospital: Peeling the various sensor stickers off my man-pelt.

2nd best thing about coming home from the hospital:  Taking a shower.

The actual best thing about coming home from the hospital:  Sleeping for 14 glorious hours in dark and quiet without anyone taking a blood sample from me at any point.

OK, so obviously I'm watching the Bob Ross twitch stream.

The best thing I've seen so far is that when Bob finishes a painting pretty much everyone in the chat says something like "gg Bob".

For those kids not hip with the speak, "gg" stands for "Good Game".  It's an abbreviation used by lots of people at the end of multiplayer video games.  You finish your Call of Duty or Battlefield game and you see "gg" popping up on the chat feeds.

I like the idea of applying that to one of Bob's paintings.

Well...even sans the hospital stay today has been pretty shitty.

On the plus side, when I dropped the laptop on my toe there was plenty of help available.

So, first off, while I'm not technically fine, I feel fine and things are getting better.

And now here's why I'm in the hospital.

You may remember a few years ago I went to the hospital because I had a pulmonary embolism.  This morning I went down to the basement and when I came upstairs I felt like I'd just run a marathon.  So I packed my bags, hopped in the car and checked myself in to the ER.  One CAT scan later and yeah....another pulmonary embolism.

So I'm in the hospital for a few days.  Very likely I'm going to be on some sort of anti-coagulant for the rest of my life.  So I made it to 43 before I need daily medication.  Not too bad. 

Damn mutant healing factor.
