I hate to follow up such a serious post with something silly, but I couldn't pass on mentioning this: according to ABC science news, scientists have taught dolphins to sing the Batman theme song.
The down-side of this is that now I have the Batman theme stuck in my head.
So, it's Oct 5, how do you feel?
I feel a lot better, although still crappy. The sharp pain I felt whenever I took a deep breath is gone, and the pain that radiated out from my sternum across my shoulders and and rib cage and down my back is gone, too. I still have the pain in my sternum itself, and I can't lift or move anything, but the worst part of it is gone.
