Update

Went to the county hospital Monday and Tuesday, then spent the night at the local hospital. Bottom line: They did lots of tests but couldn't find anything. Which probably means the blockage is in veins in the head... so now I'm officially a blockhead.

I'm on a month's sick leave and got TWO months driving ban. Dunno how I'm going to juggle work and busing for that last month, ugh. Was told that I need to rest, which I intend to do to the utmost of my capability. I am simply going to vegetate for the next 5 weeks; watch TV and DVDs, read and catch up on sleep, sweet sleep.

Headcase

Friday, August 28 I had a mini-stroke of some sorts. Being an idiot I have tried to soldier on in the hopes it might get better (which it has, but not enough). Got an MR on Wednesday and it showed some damage, as there are parts of my brain that haven't been getting enough oxygen. I'm on sick leave for now and will probably be ok again, but it'll take some time before I'm back to my usual, sarcastic self.

Going to the county hospital Monday for further check-ups to find out what's causing the lack of oxygen - probably a clot. Could be the heart, could be veins. So have at it in the comments...

Cracking numbers

The effin Red-Green coalition has "won" the national elections and are set for another four years of governing. However, due to Norways electoral system, the opposition gained more votes than the Red-Greens while coming up just short of a majority in Parliament (2 reps). I have calculated the numbers for the whole country as one circuit, and they are as follow (actual election result in parenthesis):

AP (Labour): 60 (64)
SV (Socialist): 11 (11)
SP (Agrarian): 10 (11)

R (Commies): 2 (-)
MGP (Greens): 1 (-)
PP (Pensioners): 1 (-)

V (Liberals): 7 (2) (These poor bastards didn't make the 4% national threshold)
KrF (Christians): 9 (10)
H (Conservatives): 29 (30)
Frp (Populist): 39 (41)

So we see that the Red-Greens would get 81 seats, 83 with the Commies. The center-right opposition would get 84 seats. This result would leave the Greens and the Pensioners holding the balance.
