[06:43] IsambardPrince It could be worse I guess. [06:43] IsambardPrince They had to do an emergency appendectomy on my grandfather during the war. [06:44] IsambardPrince They didn't have a proper operating room or anesthetic. [06:45] IsambardPrince He was awake while they were removing his appendix and watching them do it because there were mirrors on the ceiling apparently.

[06:53] IsambardPrince They're recommending a sleep specialist. [06:54] IsambardPrince I've been cycling between anxious and depressed about the surgery [06:54] IsambardPrince This will be the first time I've ever had major surgery. [06:55] IsambardPrince Previously it was just a tonsilectomy and sinus surgery. That wasn't nearly as rough as when I picked up a hospital acquired infection and spent the next month in another hospital. [06:55] IsambardPrince I ended up vomiting up blood. [06:56] IsambardPrince I couldn't eat much. They had me on an IV with patient controlled opoid pump for the pain. [06:56] IsambardPrince Doctor Tony was a good doctor. I'm sad to see there aren't more like him. [06:57] IsambardPrince He tried to commit suicide several years later and failed, and then ended up going into seclusion. He kept his medical license active. But he sort of disappeared from public life. [06:58] IsambardPrince He's the reason I'm alive. After that idiot surgeon in Indianapolis threatened that he would personally call the insurance company if I wasn't out of his hospital by 5 PM and tell them I did not need to be there. [06:58] IsambardPrince We got home and I was so dehydrated, I collapsed in the downstairs bathroom. [06:59] IsambardPrince My mom and dad got me into the back of the family car and took off for the local hospital. Mom had a cell phone back then (one of the old brick types where you'd occasionally hear someone else's call) and she was on the phone with Doctor Tony telling him what was going on. He told her to skip the ER and that he would direct admit me to the pediatrics unit. ● Jul 18 [07:00] IsambardPrince I was starting to become delusional so I was in the backseat of the car laying down counting all of the phone poles I saw go by the car window. [07:00] IsambardPrince For some reason I had it in my head that it would be very important to count how many telephone poles there were along the way to the hospital. [07:01] IsambardPrince I remember Kathy Cummings, the nurse on pediatrics, telling my mom that I was almost so dehydrated that they wouldn't have been able to start an IV in about another half hour or so. [07:02] *martin (~martinzatroch@86pm57ad4z8sg.irc) has joined #techrights [07:02] IsambardPrince I felt like I was slipping away and counting the telephone poles would keep me from dying I guess. [07:04] *martin has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [07:05] IsambardPrince The mind tries to hold on long enough to get help. [07:05] IsambardPrince Like 2009, when I had the seizure in my shower that is probably where I broke my shoulder. [07:06] IsambardPrince I felt like someone was dialing up the gravity and the last thing I did before passing out was turn the shower off, I managed to sit down and that's when I lost consciousness. My neighbor said she heard me banging around on the wall for about half an hour then it stopped, but she didn't call anyone. [07:06] IsambardPrince I woke up and didn't realize what had happened, so I went to move and that's when the pain struck me. [07:07] IsambardPrince I had one of those shower stalls with no bathtub, but there was still this huge step up to get into it, so I had to climb over that and make it to the bedroom. I couldn't stand so I had to crawl across the floor screaming the whole way, just very slowly, because I'd left my phone on the bed. [07:08] IsambardPrince I managed to get up onto the bed and call my mom at work, but she said I was just saying strings of words. [07:08] IsambardPrince She got my brother and they helped me to the hospital, then we went into the ER, and the doctor called me back to the exam room. I said I think I had a seizure, and he was a real jerk. [07:09] IsambardPrince He was like "Well how do you know it was a seizure!?" so right then of course I went into another one and fell over onto a crash cart. [07:09] IsambardPrince Which I suppose made a crashing noise. But I was passed out before hitting it. [07:10] IsambardPrince All I remember was falling over backwards and saying "whoa whoa whoa". [07:10] IsambardPrince I woke up about three hours later in the recovery room, mom said they put me in a CT scanner I think, and they gave me IV ativan and dilantin. [07:11] IsambardPrince Nobody ever assessed me for the bruised up arms or skeletal damage, so I don't know if this is where I broke the shoulder. [07:11] IsambardPrince When you're uninsured, they just want rid of you so they make sure you won't die then they throw you out. [07:12] IsambardPrince September 6th, 2009. [07:12] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights [07:13] IsambardPrince So if that was where I fractured my shoulder, then it will have been 16 years and 6 days until I managed to get surgery to repair it. [07:19] *martin (~martinzatroch@86pm57ad4z8sg.irc) has joined #techrights [07:19] IsambardPrince https://lwn.net/Articles/979166/ [07:19] TR Bot the conversion to the "new" mount API [LWN.net] [07:19] IsambardPrince "Sandeen said that whatever is going to dmesg today should continue to go there, in order to avoid complaints. Another reason not to change existing behavior, Brauner said, is that systemd uses a known-bad mount option to probe the kernel to see how it can find out about illegal options; to a monitoring tool, those could look like a continuing stream of errors to be reported. Similarly, Goldstein said that overlayfs has a lot of [07:19] IsambardPrince different fallbacks that it tries that could be misinterpreted if they are handled differently." [07:20] IsambardPrince Everything else systemd does is fucked, why would this be better. [07:21] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR3], Using Android as the system does make sense. They're already doing a Linux environment for Android. I doubt the Linux environment is going away.
