I know why Rush was fatigued today. He not only has to do research for his three hour show every day, but deliver a good show with facts and panache. I assume he's also conferring almost hourly with his lawyers and investigators helping him in this case.

I'd be fatigued, too.

Heck, I get exhausted just thinking about the hell he's going through right now.

Did anyone else notice that Monday he immediately announced he was in New York? Perhaps his lawyers thought he would be subpeonaed or something and that it would be best if he left the state. He also may have needed to do another detox immediately if he is going to be questioned. Of course, I hope Rush has already beat the habit, but in case he hasn't perhaps leaving the state was the smartest thing to do.

My mother was an audiologist at the House clinic and knows a lot about the cochlear implant. She also knew that there are some medications, which, when abused, cause deafness. She didn't tell me which ones.

Yes, it is possible to build up a tolerance to opiates to the point where you could be taking an amount that would kill a brontosaurus and appear fully normal. In fact, you would need that amount or more just to BE normal. Without it you would become violently ill and possibly even die. You would surely wish you could. Kicking this habit has got to be the worst.

Rush sounds great to me every day. I sure hope he is over his habit.
