You may recall that some whackaloon's going to pray for rain in Denver to ruin Obama's acceptance speech. It didn't work — no surprise there — but there was an incident, a small selective event. A defective sprinkler went off, flooding a skybox booth.

It belonged to Fox News.

It surely is. Talking of whackadoodles, how did your MRA go?

"Talking of whackadoodles, how did your MRA go?"

I beg your pardon? Hm.

It went. The technician stuck the IV through the artery in my left arm, hit what I think was a tendon, sent me through the ceiling screaming. Then she moved to my right arm, found another artery and managed the IV insertion without further trauma and drama. I'm sure you must know the MRA routine, P, since you've been through so much with your arteries.

I felt foggy in the head when it was over. But I've been foogy upstairs a great deal lately -- speaking of whackadoodle. Hm.

"hit what I think was a tendon, sent me through the ceiling screaming"

Oh-oh-oh, sympathies! That must have been horrible when the tech got the IV needle wrong.

In my own MRA, the tech managed to slip the IV needle in so smoothly I had to ask him if he'd done it -- first and last time that's happened!

The worst IV insertion I ever experienced was one in the back of my hand. It was more painful than yesterday's misdirection (which was quite painful!). Too bad there aren't more techs like the one you just described!

I know. I've had more than one of those as techs desperately try to find my veins . . .
