Saturday, Poetry Month, and A PREDICTION

nightdog_barksWarm, partly cloudy, and HUMID AGAIN. GRRAR. No rain, though, so I need to water everything on the deck (including the tomatoes, which so far are doing fabulously).
Tomorrow is April 1st, and we all know what that means. IT'S NATIONAL POETRY MONTH! And just like in years past (since 2008, as a matter of fact), I'll be celebrating by posting a poem a day (except on weekends). As always, they'll be in their own post, behind a cut, so folks who would prefer not to read can easily scroll past. Comment if you feel like it, don't if you don't. It's just an opportunity to post something a little bit different. :-)
So. I've been reading the latest round of spoilers and press releases, and I was talking with some friends this morning, and I was STRUCK WITH AN EPIPHANY. It was painful, but I soon recovered.
"The C-Word" is cirrhosis (if not cancer) and it's House. He needs a full liver transplant (not just a lobe), which means someone has to die. Who's dying? Thirteen. We already know Olivia Wilde is returning for the finale (unless that's the biggest red herring in all of red-herring-dom). If House fulfills his promise to Thirteen, he gets her liver -- but House balks, and that's the hook. Much back and forth ensues, perhaps there's a mention of how House deserves it because he's a force for good in the universe (*g*) ... who knows, maybe Wilson indirectly threatens to kill himself to guilt House into taking his liver, and that's what finally pushes House to actually do it. Big emotional scene with House and Thirteen, with the last shot of the series being House wheeled into the OR for the operation.* If she's been taking divalproex sodium (Depakote), valproic acid (Depekene), or carbamazepine (Tegretol), those could provide further complications, since at least two are associated with liver toxicity (a fascinating guide to treating Huntington's is here, from the University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics organization).
*Credit for this "last shot" conjecture goes to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stenveny, whom I believe also suggested this.
Remember chiclets -- YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST. :-D

OR MAYBE ... Thirteen comes up with the plan, and everybody agrees to it -- except House. So Wilson drugs him. Ha.
