Why I still read Slashdot

The Davy Crockett was an artillery rifle that lobbed cute little nuclear bombs up to a couple of miles. (The shells' payloads had TNT equivalents of "only" 10 or 20 tons -- not megatons.) The U.S. Army deployed it from the late 1950s to the early 70s.

I had the same cramps today as yesterday, for the same duration, after waking up at the same time of day. Worrisome. Have e-mailed doctor. I'm curious as to what will happen tomorrow, when I'll be waking up early (unless I oversleep, which is extremely likely, for that is my nature). Guess I'll learn whether it's tied to the time of day, or the act of getting out of bed. I'm hoping for a PMFI, of course, except that I won't let myself just forget about it if I am given one.

Scored a copy of Photoshop 7.0 Friday; ICCB has a site license. I dunno why it didn't occur to me to ask before.

I really have to get cracking on this presentation for next Monday.

pain in your right side?

[(Anonymous)]

i suppose that you'll hear from your doctor, but i'm curious: where in your right side? upper, near your ribcage, or lower, near your hipbone? pain in the lower right side of the abdomen followed by nausea is pretty much the standard symptom set for appendicitis. not that there aren't other possible causes, and not that there aren't forms of appendicitis that are just minor inflammations and go away on their own.... but still, it's probably a good idea to get it checked out if that's the case.

Uh oh

Yes, around my right hip, towards the back. Hum.

I thought of appendicitis, since I have an appendix. But it didn't occur to me to look at online anatomy texts until just now, and what I see does seem to support this theory.
