Hoy thanks you childrens <3 And I had (have) pericarditis. BUT the shallow breathing I was doing from the chest pain also gave me pneumonia! I SPENT EIGHT DAYS IN THE CARDIAC WARD MAKING FRIENDS WITH A LITTLE OLD ITALIAN WOMAN WHO SPOKE VERY BROKEN ENGLISH. I swear to god, magical adventures abound. So yeah home now. Hooray!

Poor Melon, stuck in a hospital... I hope the old lady was interesting... and I'm sorry if the melons they gave you made it even harder to breath, heavy as they are...

Yeah I saw it. Well, I saw it on the echocardiogram. It was a malignant black shadow choking the life out of me and apparently this isn't the first time. I've got -recurrent- pericarditis if the scarring of my poor pericardium is any indication. The pleural effusion (kay thanks pneumonia) was fun. They got to stab me in the back with a needle and drain about a liter of fluid from my pleural cavity. And let us not forget the cardiac tamponade. The -idea- of it still sort of scares the shit out of me. On my birthday they stuck a catheter up through an artery in mah groin area, floated it up to my heart and said "LOL YOU NEED A PERICARDIAL WINDOW". Which I got the next day. If I hear one more fuckin plexiglass joke ><

Fox, you're a nerd. There's no other way around that. Not a nerd... and ex field doctor who works in a hospital and teaches human anatomy... Ehhh it could have been a lot worse melon... Besides now you can say you have large pericardium and everyone will think you mean a large heart ^^

Oh of course it could have been worse. It can always be worse >D Strangely I'd rather focus on the part they cut out as an excuse to be a heartless wench as opposed to the swelling/large heart thing. It amuses me MUCH more. Also we're one short for our Wizard of Oz cast. I've taken up the roll of tin man and my mother is the scarecrow because of her brain biopsy. WHO HERE IS A WUSS?

You also have a thing with body hair though so I don't know how you'd do as the lion.

If you want to see swelling of the pericardium, fox, you should just come downa nd see my great aunt, she gets it all the time... as for the wizard of oz, I call the witches shoes, stockings and broomstick that shoots out noxious gas... as well as the monkeys... and the crystal ball...
As for bone tumors, it depends on whether they cause you pain or not in relation to patheticness... because if they don't they're not even doing their job properly...
