No one's really sure how it came to this, but the under 35 crowd's theory is: She had the surgery and MUSC either fucked something up and haven't admitted it OR she had the worst luck in history in being in that really small demo that has the worst recovery.
She couldn't keep anything down and back in October (I think) they were talking about how she'd need a feeding tube if she couldn't manage to eat and hold onto anything. I gather shortly before the cutoff time she found at least one thing she could eat. She seemed to spent a lot of time popping in and out of the ER because she was dehydrated. A couple of weeks ago (around the time we were supposed to exchange Christmas presents) she went in for the whole "no can eat, headache from hell" thing and they figured that she had gallstones and that they should remove her gallbladder. Which they did and they were also supposed to give her a feeding tube then. I didn't know until yesterday that they didn't do it after all.
So... the non expert opinion, backed with a little of the ICU nurse's theory is that she's been running on below empty for so long that her body just said fuckit and shut down in an effort to fix things.
Cass is supposed to stop by sometime this evening, I think, and maybe she'll have further news, although I'll have to figure out how much is the gloom filter and how much isn't.
