• Physiology of Vomiting
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Vomiting is the forceful expulsion of contents of the stomach and often, the proximal small intestine. It is a manifestation of a large number of conditions, many of which are not primary disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Regardless of cause, vomiting can have serious consequences, including acid-base derangments, volume and electrolyte depletion, malnutrition and aspiration pneumonia.

And Christmas:


That's pretty much how I opened my presents. From that position.

But I got some pretty cool stuff. A couple of Dean Koontz books I have been wanting, A couple of Rachel Ray cookbooks I have been wanting, a fab new coffee mug for the car, and a ton of knitting stuff.

More on this later, but T got me (among the many other things) a Box O' Yarn. No kidding. This big box (actually, the box my microwave came in, if that tells you how big) was filled with all kinds of yarn. About 50 skeins of it! Wow!

Oh, and look at this present from R...
