Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Oh man, Pix, I hope you're feeling better now.
I do a variation of this every time I choke on something, it's "am I still breathing? yes, then I'm not gonna die...this time".
One of the weirdest sensations I ever experienced was when I had some dental work done and the spot where they did the novocaine injections also ended up numbing the area around my nose. I couldn't feel myself breathing and every few minutes I'd be all "holy crap, I'm not...oh wait, yes I am." Freak-y.

Vanilla liqueur + blood orange soda
So, basically, a creamsicle with alcohol? sounds good!
And in regard to medical warnings - when I call the internal medicine department I use for my PCP the recording always starts off with "if this is an emergency hang up and call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room" ... which, um, why would you call a doctor if it's an emergency? or am I being too logical?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because you really don't want to be a fuss?
I'd totally do that.

Punishingly Intricate
It can hard to be sure something's an emergency so you'd call your doctor first to check.

But then the voicemail intro isn't going to help much, as you'll stay on the line to talk to your doctor.

um ... this isn't a place where you actually get to speak to a doctor - if you want to speak to a nurse, you have to either (1) hold interminably or (2) leave a message and they'll call you back ... eventually. It's the internal medicine department at Georgetown Hospital - I started using them as my PCP because at the time no one was accepting the insurance I had.

Not necessarily. I can see calling the doctor as a first instinct and then going "right, maybe I need to really do something about this."

Ann, that's a ferret.
Best wishes for Pix's back. Another hint that may help -- prop up your feet/put a pillow under your knees.

The status is NOT quo.
Fred, thanks. Believe me, I've been propped up with pillows all night.
