BSU had her first ECT today- bad day

Its been a long day for both of us but its probably been harder on her than me. She will be receiving 8 planned treatments of ECT, that's Electro Convulsive Therapy. Yeah, that. She actually had it two years ago when she was last hospitalized and it seemed to do her some good, so expectations of a good outcome this time are high.

But she didn't have a good day today. Had a very bad headache that they wre treating with something with codeine in it, which she doesn't tolerate well. She also had two blood thinner shots and tomorrow she must go have a CT scan for possible pulmonary embolisms! Yikes! Her O2 level was running low all day just to make matters worse and so they had her breathing some oxygen from a tube until that improves.

The ECT is a really effective treatment for lots of extreme circumstances of mental illness. It doesn't look anything at all like the scary movies might make it look. The patient gets knocked out, paralyzed and shocked all in a matter of minutes and then after recovery they are often feeling well enough to want breakfast. It is done very early in the morning for some reason that deals with serotonin levels or something like that.

Anyway, I hope tomorrow is a better day for her.

As for me, well I sold the CETME to Bob the religious artifacts (gun) dealer, took a test in my computer class that required me to explain to the instructor why a couple of true-false questions were so ambiguous as to be answerable either way, took in a very short review in Purchasing class and made the round trip to Salt Lake City to see the spouse and return. Its not quite 90 miles round trip.

And tomorrow promises to be another day of chasing in circles with precious little real work getting done... But there is a trade show to attend, with food, and a meeting and then getting the sold gun and ammo into Bob's hands, and another trip to SLC to see the BSU before studying 7 chapters worth of notes for Thursday night's mid-term in Purchasing. No problem.

One problem, perhaps. The winner of the EBay auction for my mountain bike requested a week to get his money together. Which I agreed to. But now he's gone silent for two nights and is not answering his emails. If I don't hear from him by tomorrow night, I'll be relisting the bike and filing a complaint against him as a deadbeat bidder.

That's it. Bedtime!

UPDATE: The bike buyer responded overnight with email from a different address. He is promising the money by Thursday. If that pans out, I'll be shipping the bike by Saturday and ordering my scooter.

Just as soon as I decide on a color and model!
