Jenny's back home again, this time with a pile of assorted drugs, which are supposed to ensure that there are no further episodes. She responded immediately to the medications they gave her there, and was back to normal within hours, though they held her overnight for observation. A bit strenuous, as she's had more than enough of hospital rooms. Bit of an odd episode when I walked in this morning to settle matters. I had a brief sneezing fit, not uncommon, as my asthma has an allergic component. With the bruising from the shoulder strap, though, each sneeze feels about like the end of the world. Seeing me clutching my chest and grimacing in pain, the staff immediately jumped to the conclusion that I was having a coronary episode, and dove into the process of treating me with great enthusiasm. Every time I tried to explain, they kept telling me not to talk. Finally persuaded them to realize that I wasn't the patient.

Fot those interested in the paranormal, an odd little tale: when I got home, there was a fax on the machine from my mother in Idaho, basically saying that she hadn't heard from us in a while (actually not very long; we correspond regularly) and was worried that something might have happened. Something seemed odd about it, so I worked out the time zones and figured out that the fax was sent about 30 minutes after the accident. Seems that mothers have ways of knowing...
