Can it get worse? yes. My girlfriend's niece, 24, who happens to live in her home and has become a close friend and really...family, was down in Akron at her boyfriend's place. Sunday morning she woke up with pains in her chest. I guess she'd been having symptoms for a few weeks. She went to the hospital down there. Looks like something's wrong with in heart lining. Don't know much more other than she's heavily sedated and waiting on test results. A woman who would appear in perfect health, fit, very attractive, etc. Now, lying in a hospital bed in ICU.

Be thankful she has insurance...

She just got insurance. She's in the restaurant biz which has many uncovered.

Christ, Elco, I may be an asshole, but at least I learned a few more words than "motherfucker" and "asshole." If you won't get a new shtick, could you at least spring for a thesaurus?

I'll be impressed when you talk to Jackie Tranchida.

She's actually on my list of people to call this afternoon. I'll keep you updated on how it goes.

Updates? You tell her I said hi?

Man, Rob Gordon, all it would have taken was a little imagination & a post about your girlfriend's 24 year old niece could have gone from a heart lining problem to an epic one night stand.

Endocarditis? Most often it can be fixed with antibiotics. She'll have to be monitored over the years, and take an antibiotic prior to any dental work, but she should be OK. Assuming that's what she has. Any updates Rob?

And how did your MRI go? Did the super loud banging in your ears drive you nuts?

Spoke with her yesterday. What I was selling, MetroMix the Television Program wasn't buying, sadly.

And I did tell her you said hi. I think that may be where my pitch went wrong....

Boy that MRI machine is loud. Anyway, now waiting until Friday morning appointment with Doc for him to tell me what it is I got and the treatment. And girlfriend's niece is on meds. Coming back to Cleveland today I think. They were afraid of a blood clot. Once meds get swelling to go down then they'll figure out next steps. Is it a good idea to bring up the fact that I also have a good friend...family guy...successful business owner...guitar player with a band...who's been battling bone cancer for about 2 years. It was looking promising until recently. It's metastized into other parts of his body. Soon to be going through heavy duty chemo treatments. But in the studio alot right now so he can get their second release out. Hopefully out in next couple of weeks and that they can do a release show before he gets too weak. I saw him at a gig about 4 weeks ago and he said he was going to Ireland with the family "because it's time". Just those words and I knew things were not good. They did have a very emotional and spiritual time there over eight days, but he said it was rough on him physically.

I post about real life not some made up one.

Sometimes hives can be mistaken for type 4 herpes (flesh eating kind).

We rented the Polanski film Repulsion last night. It was horrible. For nearly an hour nothing happened - Catherine Deneuve sleepwalks around, muttering to herself, and some people get their nails done. Sometimes a bell rings. That's it. Booooooo!

I really miss my beard.
