I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Ginger, that is entirely too much fouling up to deal with when you're in your current condition. Or anyone's condition, really. Is the hospital board of directors Howard, Fine, & Howard?

Here's wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We are at my in-laws'. Woke up early because of the time zone, but I'm still hiding out before I have to go socialize.

Ginger, I wish I could yell at people for you. I'm reminded of the time a nurse told my mother in the middle of the night that she couldn't have painkillers, even though that was contrary to what the doctor said.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm so sorry, Ginger, that you're having to deal with all this awfulness.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

That one I'm going to write up. I can't really blame the nurses about the form; it appears to have been created in the '70s, before the creation small electronic devices and credit cards. They have to list every credit card, but there are no lines for them, so they repurpose various other lines. There are no lines for anything electronic. The system for retrieving information seems hopeless; I imagine a tiny room in the basement full of teetering piles. I didn't get the name of last night's gloating security person. I realized after he left that don't give the patients copies of the multi-copy forms they signed. I have no idea what happens to patients who are brought in alone and unconscious. Do they lock away everything and refuse to give them their belongings until they leave or do they stand out in the hall yelling, "Free credit cards here!"

The "egg sausage casserole" this morning was 2 inches high and remarkably solid. I showed it to the people who came to take various readings and bring medicines and one literally leapt back in horror, crying "what is that!"

Wow, no one in my history of being involved in hospitalizations has inventoried belongings or not let me or Hubby have them in the room. The cancer center only wanted to inspect any electronics that might be plugged into their walls.

ION, I'm here at work. Holiday and overtime pay! Yay! But I think one of the supervisors got the bright idea to do training today. No, dammit, this is not the opportunity for you to have a captive audience for long, boring training, this is the opportunity for people willing/shanghaied into working to get some quiet time in return for giving up a holiday!

Ugh Ginger, sounds like the night from hell! And I think you're right, security guy must have been messing with you. Strength~ma to you. May there be a good nurse on duty today.

Happy Thanksgiving! Or happy Thursday to those who don't celebrate it. I am grateful for this site and for everyone here.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have walked the dog, eaten a protein bar, had coffee, and spent a lot of money online (needed pants, bought them, plus boots, and PJs, and a skirt, and a sweater or two).

Can't decide if that makes it time to have a second breakfast of pumpkin pie or go back to bed.

I have climbed Everest and am tucked 9n my bed, snoozing as I can. My heart rate has finally chilled out, though any energy expenditure is costly.

CJ just checked in before heading to his dad's for the day. Our dinner reservations aren't till 3, so I'm going to snooze until noon and then see how I'm doing.
