Non-Madrigal weekend

So Madrigal happened this weekend, but for a variety of reasons I wasn't there and I'm both happy and sad about it.  Sad because of course, I missed Madrigal.  However, on Friday night at 9:27 when I turned out the light, already exhaused and unable to stay awake, I was pretty happy I wasn't about to spend 4 - 6 more hours awake.  I'm going to treat this like a show that opens in the "middle" and then subtitles it with, "24 hours earlier".

I hope everyone's Madrigal (or Numina) weekend was awesome.  Have a great week.

Medical update

No going home for Monique today.  First they took her down to get a PICC line inserted to give her whatever nasty drugs she'd need to take home to treat the MRSA staph infection she has.  Her surgeon came in and said she didn't have a MRSA infection so she wouldn't need the PICC line.  She went back to her room.  Her infectious disease doctor came in and told her she *does* have MRSA and *will* need the PICC line, so they rescheduled her to go down and get it.  Her surgeon wanted to see her again before letting her go home.

Bottom line, between the doctors' disagreement and all the delays, Monique gets to stay in the luxurious St. Vincent's Bed and Breakfast, uh, Hospital, waited on hand and foot for another night.  *sigh*
