Oh, they were very nice about the whole thing. I just felt a little silly. And I did have a nice little coughing spasm while the doctor was listening to my lungs, so at least it didn't look like I was completely making it up. And my oxygen level went up after the treatment, so that was good too.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've never had a doctor that I've thought wasn't an ass anyway treat me badly for not being half-dead right then and there, but I do get diagnosis anxiety -- I worry that I'm not remembering the pain in enough detail, that I'm using the word 'stab' when I really should be saying 'prick,' or that it was a burning sensation and not an ache. Or that I'm pointing half an inch off or something equally probably not a huge deal.

Because books.
The thing is, when it comes to breathing, better to err on the side of caution, even if you do feel silly. There's nothing worse than letting it go till 3 a.m. and *then* winding up the ER.
ita, I saw in Natter about the fainting -- I hope you're taking care of yourself. If I had a cabana boy with EMT skills and a light touch, I'd send him ASAP.
Watching The 100 Scariest Movie Moments on Bravo, since I couldn't settle on an actual scary movie to watch. I've clearly missed a lot of gore in my movie-going life.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
A pox on your insurance prescription limitations, vw. ita? fainting? not good. Hope whatever that is, gets cleared up too.

I have pictures including even a cute kitty picture. Because I love you.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Goodness that boy is a cutie pie. I thought about asking how you could let that woman out of the house, wowza! But then I looked at the picture of you. Clearly the two of you belong together. Hotness multiplied.
I do love the cunning hat.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Back from party. Fun. And weird. But fun. Apparently left pronouns at party.

I want to hear about your pronoun loss and weird fun.
