More recent articles suggest she was taking medication for some kind of flu, and vomiting because of that. All I can say is, having spent the weekend kneeling at the porcelain throne myself as the result of a similar flu, at its worst vomiting sure *feels* as if it could provoke a heart attack. Or at the very least you wish you'd have one so that the upchucking would stop. Makes me happy that I don't get sick very often, if this is what it feels like. It did keep me from venturing into town to try to see "Avatar," though, although I found out from friends who saw it that I wouldn't have been happy with the results anyway. No theater in Barcelona was showing it in its original English-language version, and the only one that was showing it in 3D had a version dubbed into Catalan. Sigh. Guess I'll have to pirate a copy and wait until I'm in a city that appreciates the joys of VO (version originale) movies and/or the latest tech to see it properly.
