Apparently the general vicinity of the pituitary gland is not something messed with lightly, and for the annoyance of all of this I can certainly see why. They kept me in the hospital because my body said water wasn't important enough to hold onto. ... http://iraq.notspecial.org/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=263 http://iraq.notspecial.org/index.php?p=262 http://iraq.notspecial.org/index.php?p=262#comments Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:49:41 +0000 Europa http://iraq.notspecial.org/index.php?p=262 I know the nurses are only doing their job. And I feel very bad for them that they have the job that they do when I walk through their doors. My arms resemble those of a leper with a heroin problem who also has little to no upper body coordination, mostly ... http://iraq.notspecial.org/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=262 http://iraq.notspecial.org/index.php?p=261 http://iraq.notspecial.org/index.php?p=261#comments Fri, 13 Jun 2008 06:01:40 +0000 Europa http://iraq.notspecial.org/index.php?p=261 Well there certainly aren't any snowballs sent astray from Hell these days. Just when I thought the Army might do something logical, they went and did the usual. I asked the doctors to give me a stay of execution for about two weeks. Surprisingly, they said yes. They said sure, two ... http://iraq.notspecial.org/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=261 http://iraq.notspecial.org/index.php?p=260 http://iraq.notspecial.org/index.php?p=260#comments Tue, 10 Jun 2008 01:52:29 +0000 Europa http://iraq.notspecial.org/index.php?p=260 One would not think that one should have to be sneaky when it comes to two things: dedication to a job and general health and welfare. On the contrary, sneaking about seems to be my standard lately for both my dedication to the job I am trying to learn and for ... http://iraq.notspecial.org/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=260 http://iraq.notspecial.org/index.php?p=259 http://iraq.notspecial.org/index.php?p=259#comments Thu, 05 Jun 2008 03:19:06 +0000 Europa http://iraq.notspecial.org/index.php?p=259 The doctor is onto my game. I went to the opthomologist the other day with the understanding that there was some sort of critical test that needed to be done to determine if I need surgery with some sort of urgency.

Unfortunately, they fixed it.

The Army, in its habit of never making anything easy, has naturally keyed in on the challenges and amplified them.

No, the cause of death will be much simpler: that of Death By PowerPoint. Many are familiar with this tragedy, but today it was actually combined ... http://iraq.notspecial.org/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=254
