Um, ita, please to say which hospital you are at so I can get PJs to you.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Yay, paperdol! I just listened to your interview--you finally got one with a techno guy who knew to ask interesting questions. You sounded wonderful!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kat, I'm at CC Doctor's Hospital, but honestly, don't worry. I'm just looking forward to them finally giving me enough pain medication (last nurse in said "So you're not in any pain?" Sure, lady. I'm here for the five star accomodations, that's what) that I can sleep, because I'm wired and have had maybe four hours of sleep since Monday afternoon.

Go, Kat. Take care of our girl!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hee. Thanks, Kathy. Tim was texting me encouragement during the thing.
I was thinking of him during the wealth/prestige conversation earlier.
ita, take the free jammies!

Charge nurse came in to tell me they're still working on the starter IV stuff, and he could look into an oral painkiller in the meanwhile, if I wanted.
My communication skills are evidently less well-developed than I'd thought. I mean, pain relief? Why would I want that?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Dear heavens. I want to call them and yell at them for you for a while. I realize they're busy, but c'mon. Someone's been in the hospital for almost 24 hours due to pain and maybe they'd want a painkiller??

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I want to call them and yell at them for you for a while.
Seriously.
Also, Paperdol, ita, and Kat, G. says hi.

The crack team is on it now. He was just here to put in an IV because I'd pulled the other one out.
I couldn't help make a face as I explained I'd done nothing of the sort. I'm here for pain medication. Why would I pull out an IV? It then became "the IV that had been accidentally pulled out."
Hmmph.
And then he promptly failed twice at hitting a vein and has gone to find another nurse.
My blood is still all over the floor, and I'm being a semantic pedant. This is what pain drives me to.
Lee, tell G I say hi right back at him.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
ita, this is starting to sound like the old SNL skit with Dan Ackroyd as Julia Child.
