By the way, may I please be admitted here? I'm only recovering from Tom's surgery (and his recovery), but it's left me limp (and run me ragged). Oh, am I'm getting writer's cramp and a hoarse throat.

Could someone please prescribe either Tirconnel or Laphroaig for my IV? Or maybe one of each?

Sudden thought -- Does anyone remember the military hospital joke about "wire brush and Dettol"? -- Heard David Jones tell it years ago, and I have the gist but I'm missing enough details that I can't tell it. (Maybe that's a good thing.)
