Blogging will be light today…

Blogging will be light today, as Meryl is trapped in a local hospital and undergoing a plethora of tests.

As bad as this sounds, consider if the situation were reversed and a local hospital were trapped in her and forced to undergo a plethora of tests.

Expressions of sympathy and well-wishes may be sent to her email account or posted in the comments of this post so that when (not if) she returns to full strength she will know who really loves her and who doesn’t.

Expressions of joy at her sickness should be written in magic marker on a two-by-four and shoved up your ass. (If you need assistance with this, ask your imam for help.).

Regular blogging will resume tomorrow.


UPDATE: Well, she’s not dead, but you’re supposed to break off the tip and feathers of the arrow, immobilize it, and then let the doctors do the removal.

Ha ha – just kidding. (But not about the “not being dead” part, of course. Otherwise I’d be changing templates, sticking up AdSese banners, and raking in the big bucks as the Blogosphere mourners flood the site. Wasn’t that the plan, FrankJ?)

She was watching television last night, started with a spreading numbness in vaious leftward locations, she WebMD-ed herself into calling for an ambulance.

Tests, re-tests, fell asleep inside the MRI machine, the food sucks, and she got the same shock I did when I had a phantom broken toe last year: elevated cholesterol numbers.

She will likely be unleashed upon the world again tomorrow, at which point the Hezbollah agents in America will try to finish her off once again.

I read out the well-wishes in the comments with my usual super-rusty Hebrew pronounciations.

Oh, Tig and Gracie have a full food bowl, so they’ll be fine.

That’s pretty much it, except for that S. and the boys are dropping by.

    By the time you read this, may you already feel so well that you wonder why we send you best wishes.

    Mi’sheberach…

    What Andy said.

    Meryl, I want you to know I really enjoy your writing – I hope you are up and at ’em soon.

  10. A Steve says:

    Get well soon, and don’t worry yourself sick(er) about Israel like I’m halfway to doing. We’ll take up the worry slack in your absence so you can chill.

    Ready, people? If all the lurkers reading this worry ~4% more, Meryl’s worry duties will be more than covered for. (N.B.: this figure accounts for the fact that Meryl is probably worrying at 100%+ right now, too.) So 3, 2, 1…worry more!

  11. Robert says:

    I hope it is nothing serious and that she gets well soon!

  12. Dick Stanley says:

    Get well soon. You want to be up and around when Chipmunk Cheeks gets his so you can send him off in the proper fashion.

  13. All the best Meryl, get well soon.

  14. Joel Rosenberg says:

    Yeah, what Andy said. Failing that, get well almost as quick.

  15. Hillel (Sabba) Markowitz says:

    Just use the Shabbos to rest up and recover. Remember, the best medicine is also the traditional for for Shabbos – Chicken Soup.

    All the best

    I’m sure she’ll back ASAP and feisty as usual. ;)

    Get well soon, Meryl.

    I hope the tests turn out alright.

    Whatever is wrong, please get well soon!

    Best wishes.

    Meryl, get well soon! This is no time for you to be undergoing a plethora! Seriously, take care of yourself.

  22. Derick says:

    Get well soon, Meryl.

  23. Barefoot Jewess says:

    I usually lurk. Get well, very soon, Meryl, cause you are my hero when it comes to standing together with Israel! A refuah shlema.

    Hey Meryl,

    here’s something cute, yet obnoxious to speed you to full recovery. You’ve seen these boys before. Get well soon.

    Here’s something to make you smile – back on June 18th, ‘the’ Cindy Sheehan was inadvertantly banned for troll-like behavior at Tim Blairs Blog…

    http://timblair.net/ee/index.php/weblog/comments/st_mother_banned/

    Gee… I wonder what they would have done if they knew it was the real Cindy Sheehan?

  26. Rajan R says:

    Refuah Shleimah, Meryl.

    (Yes, I copied that one, but you can’t expect an Indian to learn Hebrew *that* fast…)

  27. Barclay says:

    Only expressions of good wishes for a positive outcome! Sounds like a stress reaction – hope you are feeling better soon.

  28. jja says:

    Sorry to hear that you’re ill. May you emerge from this soon with nothing more than a bunch of funny hospital anecdotes.

    Get back to blogging, woman! Your readers demand it!

    Cholesterol, schmolesterol.

    I’ve been through this a couple of times, and the point where you go “So what the hell is actually wrong with me?” comes faster each time. The point where they cough up useful answers, meanwhile, recedes into the distance.

    I do hope you’re back at the stand very soon.

  33. Thanks for the good wishes, all. And no, cond0010, I never saw that e-card before. Good for a giggle, thanks.

    One more post to write, then I’m off to rest for the day.

  34. Anonymous says:

    True, but I have sent you other ‘Hoops and Yoyo’ cards before. Thats what I was referring to.

    Unless you hadn’t read them, of course. ;)

    The … uh… ‘annoying mouse’ above, is me. Heh.
