I meant that even after seven hours in the hospital, nobody knows what the fuck was going on.

Do you know what was done?
Any tests runs?

Any tests runs? He kept me posted, here's what he told me about:
- Initial Triage: Pulse is high, EKG is OK.
- Chest X-Ray
- 4mg Morphine IV
- Given fluids for dehydration
- CAT scan of neck
The X-Ray and CAT scan revealed fuck-all new.

Did anxiety/panic get mentioned? Unless there was some kind of pain complaint I don't understand the morphine or imaging.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Yes, there was pain. Indeed, he’s had chronic pain since he got into a car accident a couple years back.

Just finished laying out two quilts on the batting and backing so I can stitch them together. Blood was lost, as usual, but nothing I can't handle.

Good grief - it takes less and less time for my back and shoulders to start tensing up after a couple hours of doing the above. Gettin' old sucks.
