Bad night. Bad morning. Minor procedure today. See you in the morning. Fresh post below.

Friday update: No better. I'm cancelling the day.

Friday night update: Back in the hospital. I dehydrated, not good. I had no idea dehydration could be so wicked. Anyway, here till Monday, probably. Thanks everyone for the good wishes.
