Hmmm. That is a lot of stuff to deal with in one day. I feel for ya.

Re. yr recent entry on the way we approach disease/medicine/prevention/etc: have you seen David B.'s comic book memoir
'Epilepsy''? I think it just came out in paperback. There's a lot in it about how people respond to illness (as patients, loved ones, witnesses, healers). And it also considers the extent to which the emotional self might impact health. Tis fascinating and sad. I think you might find it interesting.
