I have the flu

And am too lethargic to post. Barely checked my email. Haven't read anyone's LJ since Monday. Sitting up straight a nuisance. Going back to take another nap now. Maybe I'll be back in a couple days. I can't take flu remedies because of my heart. You don't know what boon aspirin has been to humankind till you can't take it.

Well, crap

It's not the flu. Seems to be an infection in the pacemaker site. Going to have to go back in for surgery Monday morning. 5% chance it's harmless serum, they drain it, I go home. 95% chance it's infected, they will remove the whole pacemaker, which happens to be somewhat more complex and riskier than putting it in was (details provided at some future point when I feel more like typing), and have to stay in the hospital for several days because of the risks and so that they can keep me on IV antibiotics. Crap crapcrapcrapcrapcrap.

Little ray of sunshine, aren't I?
