“Harry was gone?” you ask. Yep. I went to the emergency room late Tuesday night, and emerged from the hospital yesterday afternoon, and it feels like I’ve been away for a week. I went in around 1am, having suffered through some major stomach pains for about five hours. It was really bad, my stomach was [...]
