Know something really sad? When Polgara took me to the ER and I'm sitting there in triage, Patrick the nicest nurse in the world comes out and frowns at me and holds my hand. Once I get back to the bed he comes over to put the line in without waiting for doctor's instructions.
As for the doctor, he figured to try what he'd used on me last time, but Patrick came and ran it by me anyway. And asked where my normal ER cohort was and critised my lack of muscle.
No wonder I had the Cheers theme music going through my head all day. Sometimes replaced by Golden Girls, which I get a lot of these days. But mostly Cheers.
No more unravelling tonight. And I'm going to try and make it all the way to the weekend without losing any more ground.
Tangentially, why the fuck am I being spammed with PDFs?

I think, unless you're a doctor or nurse, the last place you want to be where everybody knows your name and is always glad you came is the ER.
Ship sailed on that one. One of the checkin chicks knows both my surname and my date of birth.
I worked at my part-time job at Barnes & Noble tonight, and guess what I now have in my hands? (Well, actually, sitting on my CPU tower, but you know what I mean.) A certain book called Will the Vampire People Please Leave the Lobby?!!!
The book comes out, and the real-world people go "whoa! my co-worker wrote a book! that's really neat!"
This was me, but it was me burbling to my co-workers about how I know the author, and it's her first book, and it's being reviewed in Entertainment Weekly!! I didn't have time today, but I'm grabbing one of the four copies we have faced out on the shelf and putting it up as my employee pick on Saturday.
Yay, BOOK!!
Woo!! First sighting out in the wild!
You know, I was in Borders today, but I didn't think to look yet. Oh, but is it only B&N that's getting it early/now? I disremember.
When I had a few bad asthma years, I could walk into ER, wheezing like hell and they would just say "Hi, Suzi - go ahead back to the blue chair (for vitals)". Not good. I mean, good service - but still - not good.
Amazon says no book until August. Sad now.
I didn't pre-order because I want the immediate satisfaction of walking into a book store and walking out with it in my hands.
Professional opinions--broken or just sprained?
I'm so happy that Noah's coming home soon and Allyson's book is coming out soon. Wheee! I better go order my copy.
ita, I'd recommend against a nervous breakdown. Too draining.
