blood poisoning?!
but not life-threatening?!
do not understand. do not like.
Yeah, don't quite get it myself. Not *immediately* life-threatening. ER's job is to figure out if you are in grave danger of dropping dead: if yes, triage and then admit; if no, go home; if don't know, call for consult and possibly then admit.
You can get it from a cut or whatever - I get lots of scrapes and cuts and splinters at work, have no idea what originated this issue.
So freaking tired. Need to go pick up meds and be awake to call doc as soon as they open. They're only open for two hrs today, and not at all tomorrow, so I may need to see a different doc. Mega-gronk.
Blood poisoning? Yikes! But not life-threatening is good.
Migraine will not leave. I have to get to work today because while I'm out next week the journal has to go to the printer. I'm normally the person who gets the files ready (which is a time-consuming, pain-in-the-ass process), so I need to sit down with Chatty and go over everything involved in that process, because he's going to have to do it. If I didn't need to do that, I swear I wouldn't go in today. I cannot believe how bad this hurts.
a doctor's office that is open for 2 hours?
Seriously. Is this the 1400s or something?
Close. New Orleans. I think she may have another office location? Or maybe works at the hospital some. Or maybe she only works 3.5 days a week, who knows.
Steph, I wish you felt better! I hate that you are in so much pain and have all this stress right before vacation.
I *so* wish I didn't have meetings first and last things today.
IOW, gronk!
PS: Thanks, kitties, for being so excited to see me that you galloped loudly around crashing into shit. I totes didn't need that extra half hour of sleep or anything.
Good luck getting in to see someone ASAP, smonster.
Nora, thank you so so so much for taking me and staying with me. I'm sorry you have to work today!
Can I get a ruling from the jury? Do I call my folks and tell them about this today, or wait until they call me? They are leaving for a weekend at the beach today. They will worry and worry if I tell them, but will likely get mad that I didn't tell them sooner.
Teppy, I'm sorry you have to go to work in pain. Well, actually I am sorry there is pain at all.
smonster, call them to wish them happy beaching and tell them about the scary blood poisoning as a casual aside.
smonster, what Laura said, and maybe also mention that Nora was there for you last night so that they know you have people there who are watching out for you.
So glad that smonster got to the doctor.
Teppy - you so deserve better.
Bittersweet day for me: I have a work friend who is retiring today. I'm very excited for her but I'm going to miss her.
