Raq - crazy - wrong. It is time for someone to figure this out and fix it. Or they all get my ick.

Thanks, Steph! No, it doesn't look like I was undergoing withdrawal, so that's some relief. However, I'm thinking I don't want to take it any more. They got up to about 10mg that visit. My cohort refuses to let me take more than 6 from now on, but if that's not making the pain go away then I need to take something different.

I love this:

Check with your doctor before combining Dilaudid with the following:

• Antiemetics such as Compazine and Phenergan
• Antihistamines such as Benadryl
• General anesthetics
• Other central nervous system depressants such as Nembutal, Restoril
• Other narcotic analgesics such as Demerol and Percocet
• Phenothiazines such as Thorazine
• Sedative/hypnotics such as Valium and Halcion
• Tranquilizers such as Xanax
• Tricyclic antidepressants such as Elavil and Tofranil

Four out of nine's not bad, right? And I run at least 50% on the side effects, but most of those translate to "knocked the fuck out." Yet somehow still chatty, and I really don't like that bit.

Raq - that just totally sucks. (And I hope you find somebody capable today too.)

Aimee -- lots of job~ma!

Four out of nine's not bad, right?

Yeah, I was wondering how many of those you were currently taking, b/c I know you're taking a lot right now.

Four? I mean five. Not all at once, but I'm regularly on Elavil, took Percocet to come down yesterday, and have been administered Compazine (oh, hells no--major anxiety attacks), Phenergan, Valium, and Benadryl at various times while getting IV Dilaudid.

No more. I feel too much like a textbook.

Raq, isn't it great being back in the First World?

Knocked out and chatty is probably not a good combination.

Of course it's 3:30 and the credit union, being both a bank and a federal organization, was prepping to close two hours early for the holiday weekend.

I just spoke with the manager and he confirmed that they've had the PO for two weeks, and that he can see I've been in contact with them almost daily for a week. He "doesn't know how we dropped the ball" but swears he'll get the check out today before the staff close up.

crosses fingers

puts "check in with credit union" on Tues' calendar

I hate people.

ita, I'm thinking you should be getting money from Big Pharma as a drug-interaction case study.

Raq, isn't it great being back in the First World?

Oh yeah. In Greece I'd have just put the whole car on my credit card and then defaulted.

I *thought* about putting the whole car on my card here, but decided against. Alas.

much job-ma Aimee!

Why won't they let us go home?! I'm being oppressed by the Man. stupid Man.

Job~ma, Aimee. and Loan~ma, Raq. Hm, and med-interaction/withdrawl~ma, ita.

Its like that last season or so of the X-Files...

NEVER EVER HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They better have because that means the butt genie came out of MY imagination and nuh uh, now way Jose.

I'd take credit for the jebuslug, but that's as far as I'd go.
