Someone Page Dr. House, Please!

seriously, would it kill a member of my family to have a nice, normal medical problem? the flu, say, or chicken pox, or any one of a thousand other maladies that are easily diagnosed and fixed... is that too much to ask for? we know about all my bizarro issues, from the fibro complications down to the random floating piece of bone in my right elbow that occasionally pinches a nerve. and my parents are no different. i blame all my medical issues on them, because they also cannot seem to have average every-day illnesses. my mother was admitted to the hospital today due to an infection in the cartilage of her ear. she's had pain since friday, it got consistently worse over the weekend, and didn't respond to any of the copious amounts of antibiotics they prescribed her. they admitted her so that they could pump even more ridiculously large amounts of drugs into her - because if they don't get the infection soon enough, it could disintegrate the cartilage of her ear. seriously? what the hell? can you think of a more random, potentially harmful thing? you may watch house on t.v. and think, "well, that's pretty far-fetched - who would that happen to?" the answer is us, my friend; my family - we're the freaks that these things happen to. oi. and keep mom in your thoughts, would ya? thanks.
