Tech Stuff, Game Stuff, People Stuff, Emergency

[tcpip]

Have had a great week at work, including writing a firewall document for Access Grid, a FAQ for the same and putting up a proposal to incorporate Livejournal/Dreamwidth technology as a collaboration tool for Australian researchers; I should also mention I have codes for DW if anyone is interested. Also last Tuesday attended Linux Users Victoria; Michael Wahren gave an excellent presentation on where Red Hat is taking virtualisation.

My alternative modernist Middle-Earth article, White Hand Rising, has been reprinted in Other Minds. Final draft (although I am sure there will be tweaks) of Rolemaster Cyradon has been submitted. F2F gaming during the week consisted of D&D3.5 Fantasy Australia on Thursday and RuneQuest on Sunday - both went very well.

Last Sunday gave the service at the Melbourne Unitarian Church. The speaker was Michael Shaik from Australians for Palestine and my opening words, reading and closing words were on-topic with his address. The address is repeated at The Isocracy Network; which is open for comment. Next week I am giving the address entitled "Sympathy for the Devil: The Use and Misuse of Metaphysical Evil", which has greatly amused devilgirly who visited during the week (she has been justifiably shilling a a great film clip.

Meanwhile I'm putting all this together as caseopaya is making her way to Royal Melbourne emergency from home because of abnormal levels of ketones. Yes, it can be fatal.. Update: Have returned from emergency. caseopaya is on an insulin drip. Although she has abnormally high sugar and ketone levels she isn't showing any other symptoms of danger. They are keeping her under observation just the same.

GOOD GODS I hope she's okay! thats nothing to sneeze at for damn sure..

and? O.T.? TOMORROW Im getting two cute little rattie boys!

about time I'd say! Of course I'm sneaking them in, *sighs* but I think its worth it! I see them as tiny fur kids. Im taking pictures of them and posting.

Rat fancier much? *starts to laugh* soft spot in me heart and all that..

Look forward to the rattie pictures, they're always a joy.

<lj user="caseopaya" is still in hospital; she's mentally and physically fine, but her blood sugars and ketones are going up and down like a yo-yo.

[madame-mage.livejournal.com]

NOW that worries me.

is there any way that her blood sugar can be stablised? aside from observation from the "professionals" who'd say yay or nay..I'd really like to see her get back home!

Alex just called..we get our boys in another hour and a half! *does the happy dance*!

Crikey. I do hope that caseopaya's ailment turns out to be trivial to treat to a 100% cure.

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

Well, it doesn't seem trivial but she's in fine spirits..

please pass on best wishes for speedy recovery to caseopaya!

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

Will do!

Eep! Hope she's ok. *hugs* to both of you.

Thanking you most kindly, m'dear.

Heavens, that's scary. I'm glad they've worked out what's wrong, and hope she is stable soon.

love

Catherine

Thanks Catherine.. Whilst she's in good spirits and is otherwise physically and mentally OK, stable is not what you'd call her blood sugar and ketone levels at the moment. They're all over the shop...

[17catherines.livejournal.com]

Ouch. Do you think she'd like a visit at lunchtime? Since I'm on site, and all.

If so, drop me an email telling me which ward to go to.

love

Catherine

Ward 5SW, Bed 48... She'd love a visit :)

[17catherines.livejournal.com]

Could you remind me of her non-LJ name? I'm afraid I've forgotten (haven't met her often enough in Real Life). I think you know my work email, my other email is 17catherines at gmail.

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

Emailed :)

Poor darling girl.

Please wish her all the best for a sweet recovery....so to speak.

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

Heh. Well, we're not expecting a cure :)

Will pass on your good wishes..

[strang-er.livejournal.com]

Hope she's okay now.

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

She just rang to say she's walking out the hospital door!

[caseopaya.livejournal.com]

I'm home!! and fine, just very tired from the hourly blood sugar tests throughout the night! They aren't sure what was wrong but I should be ok. Time for dinner and some SLEEP
