The night before last, Genevieve wouldn't let me sleep because she was meowing in apparent pain all through the night. Last night, she didn't let me sleep because she kept climbing on top of me and purring. Of course I'd like to sleep, but I'm not going to complain about too much purring!

Wow, Meguchan is 10kg!? (I had to look that up, as I don't have a good intuitive sense of metric weights at all. 22 lb!) Genevieve is only 7 lb (3 kg).
I think it's funny that "shaaah" = hiss. It's hard for me to imagine someone yelling "shaaah!" and being angry.

Update: they do not plan to do surgery, have her in a room (FUCKING FINALLY!) and are addressing her pain control. I don't see why it took nearly 24 hours to determine if they were going to do surgery or not. No CT done (of course) and they've had her NPO the entire time in case they decided to operation. I asked her if they had an IV going and she said they did not. Brilliant. 82 year old woman, no food or drink for nearly 24 hours, broken pelvis...would one of our docs like to chime in on odds for dehydration? To top it off they held her warfarin so I hope they address that ASAP before the dehydrated, bed bound woman with a history of DVTs gets another DVT.

Thanks for the kind thoughts. Nah, no law suit possible over her care. I'm pretty familiar with what's called the "standard of care" there and sadly it's being met. Now, I do have her talked into getting lawyered up and having some words with Walmart.

Plus I do use the phone in a corporate enviroment, so I dont want to do anything that may jeopardize that.
That said, tell me the pros/cons of jailbreaking.
I use itunes a lot, the itunes store, a lot, etc...
