My dad come out from under anesthesia ...um...ribald. Ribald is polite. Bawdy is also a bit polite. Luckily all the poor folks he's harassing have claimed to think it is hilarious. He does bawdy in select company, but not like this. This is like ALL his filters are off and he's the worst jokester horny pre-teen boy ever. He's said things that make him stutter and avoid eye contact when told about it afterwards.

He also has that reaction to the twilight sleep thing, so they don't do that anymore cause it's hard to operate on a laughing patient.

Opiates (I guess I assume they're all opiates) like percoset always make me itchy, and never make me nauseous. A little dreamy, and no pain at first, and then later incredibly talkative and happy.

I need to stay far away from pain meds, because I like them far too much. I've never met one I wouldn't take again, happily.

Christ, COBRA has fucked me again. Apparently I don't have health insurance. I don't even want to guess at the thousands of dollars of care I've racked up this year.

But I've paid my COBRA premiums. They just haven't told my insurance company. This is an ongoing nightmare. Good thing insurance on the new job starts day 1 (even if I haven't picked a provider yet, yay!) But I'd really like to see my doctors now, when I have free time.

Good god, ita.

The one reaction I had (just once) to NO was that colors changed. Not dreamy like, either. Just SNAP and the red and yellow and purple butterfly I was looking at was blue and green and black. It was disconcerting. There was no other effect, and it never happened again.

WTF???? I imagine it will be a nightmare unto impossibility to make either of the following happen, but a) your insurance needs to take that up with COBRA and otherwise pay up, and/or b) COBRA owes you a full refund.

No. No. Not with ER visits. The bills are through the roof. She doesn't want a full refund. COBRA needs to fix their mistake.

Right. ER visits. There were a lot of those.

Yes. COBRA needs to make this right.

Oh, happy Vernal Equinox, everyone. Spring is here for us Northern Hemisphere types....

Yup. Three ER visits and one outpatient procedure. Plus doctor's visits and $2K of medication per month.

COBRA needs to butch it up and fix this shit.

That's about it, yeah.

I want to know what my reactions would be to all these drugs! The only thing I've ever had was nitrous, for my wisdom teeth, which effectively put me all the way out. Then I had tylenol with codeine after, which made me sleepy. The end.

I was at a new doctor the other day, and so many of my answers are "no," it's kind of ridiculous.
