The cat just wandered through, all casual-like. Now she's all hurt that there's no dinner left for her.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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

You snooze, you lose, kitty!
I'm glad you found her.

Once things calm down, Steph, I also have a drug question. The doctor prescribed 15 mg of meloxicam for the foot and it seems to be helping. However, now I have a god-awful cold with body aches and exploding sinuses, and the meloxicam seems to have no effect on that. Dr. Google says to not take ibuprofen with meloxicam, but I took two and it helped the cold. Should I not do that? I've never had any problem with massive amounts of ibuprofen.
eta: Yay, cat!

Heh. It's less that we found her and more that she decided to come out. Now we're checking her belly for Wall Dirt.

Teppy, I'm glad your cat is safe. I'll e-mail you tomorrow. Right now I am still trying to fully convince my body that the crisis is over.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I can't go to the pharmacy now, anyway -- they closed at 9.
I want a black and white cookie.

Drug Talk with Teppy:
sj, 1 mg of ativan should be fine, from everything I've read. A common daily dose is actually 2-3 mg, given 2 or 3 times daily (in other words, 1 mg per dose). But something stronger, like Valium, might be a better idea. If you're going to see your doctor, ask [gender-neutral pronoun].
Ginger: I have 2 answers.
(1) The internet says that meloxicam and other NSAIDs, when taken together, can lead to a greater chance of side effects, particularly gastrointestinal, and it's not recommended.
(2) If it were me, I would take them both, if that's what works. HOWEVER, I say that with the following caveats: don't take the 2 drugs together; try to space them out by about 2 hours. Also, try to only double up on the NSAIDs for a couple of days if you can. That way you save your stomach lining. And, of course, keep an eye out for any untoward effects.

Grazie. I will still talk to my doctor tomorrow, but she is still knew to me so I am not sure what she is going to say. She knows I have ativan, but she is not the doctor that prescribed it, so I don't know how conservative she is about such things.

Thanks, Teppy. That was about what I was thinking. I'm certainly hoping that it doesn't feel like someone is drilling into my sinuses for more than a few days.
