Windsparrow, oh my gosh. Major adrenaline dump aftereffects, I'm sure.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

Compassionately intolerant
Goodness, Andi. Good on ya for being your professional, caring self. I hope the housemate recovers well and that you are able to unjangle soon. Such an ordeal for you all.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Sounds like you did wonderfully, Andi. I hope you can get space and rest and time to yourself now.

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.
Thanks, everybody. Starting to unjangle.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
And then when I get home, that's when I fall apart.
Yep, sounds par for the course. Pros freak at home, stay cool on the job. Good on you, Andi.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Andi, how wonderful for the patient that you were there to provide such fantastic support and information. May your evening be full of unwinding. Those adrenaline dumps can be powerful things.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'm sorry you have to go through the jangles, Windsprrow, but you really wouldn't be so good at your job if you couldn't hold it together so well when you need to. And the stress has to come out some how.
and cholesterol. I am on a drug for it because I have diabetes and they want my cholesterol down to same level that someone who has had a heart attack should be at. My combined number is 200 , but my ratio is fantastic. For a while i had a job where I walked slowly for two hours 5 days a week . When I stopped that job my good cholesterol dropped. So I started walking a little more. ( It worked ) I think exercise is the key , but then again, everyone is different

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm pretty sure the US prison system has become a giant holding tank for drug addicts and the mentally ill with along with some violent criminals and gang members tossed in the mix.
At least that's been my personal experience. Don't get me started with how they provide "treatment" for mental illness in prisons. That's enough to start me on a killing spree.

What Cash Said.
You know, I was trying to avoid taking any Valium, and then realizing that it was that same douchebag O'Keefe that got Schiller fired at NPR, and my rage level went through the roof. Took a quarter of a pill, waiting for the zen to kick in. And about to have some Ben and Jerry's in the meantime.
