Fever-

So, I woke up with a fever of 102 this morning. I finally decided to go to the hospital. The healthy, holistic route can only go on so long.
As I made it to the hospital here in Montana, I was new and was not in the books. So, with a burning body, a raging headache, and I suspect some frothing in the mouth, I focused as well as I could while filling out the application. All the while, the receptionist is asking me questions, that I have to squint my eyes to recall from memory the answers to. It is about 2 minutes into this process, that I realize she is asking me the same questions that I am struggling to answer on the application.
“Why do I need to write these answers down, when you are already typing them in the computer as we go along?”
“Hospital policy.”
“So, twice as much work to get these same answers into one place?”
“Hospital policy.”
I take a deep breath as I feel a seizure rumbling beneath the surface.

    Hey! Lance I hope you’re feeling better! I actually worked with you this past year for Stampede and I was looking at some stuff online about our team and you guys and I found this and I am just at a loss for words. I had NO CLUE that you were just so talented and basically a genius and I really, really respect you and your writing and so hopefully we see you back here next year but if you get called up then we’ll be lookin for you on tv:)
