Ha Steph! You were so right.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Compassionately intolerant
Dear ones, I'm dropping in briefly to say that I am home. And alive. Not necessarily in that order.
My mind is so blown and my body is so worn that I can't tell you all that I really want to.
I don't even know how to explain it.
I was actually cured last Saturday but the doctor 'thought' I had something terrible that I did not. They had a tainted sample that had nothing to do with me. So, they pounded me with what they called the highest force antibiotics available when I didn't need them.
I don't even know what to do about it.
Otherwise, I wish I could express the depth of my appreciation and affection for this community! Sparky called more than once! Todd called, came by with supplies AND found this cool reverse coloring book for me. Sparky sent sweet flowers. Steph proved some much needed guidance and confidence. A couple of other people called but, I have to confess, I was pretty drugged...though that ended up being the good news as it made it totally possible for me to have an IV shunt in my arm for 5 days. NOT a typo. 5 actual days living with my worst nightmare.
I've got to sleep right now, but please know that I heart ya'll. True fact.

Ugh bonny, what an awful experience. So glad you are home. Sending you much recovery~ma.

Hey, an IV shunt ain't so bad if it keeps you around! :)
Boundaries FTW
Amen.
I had a friend who was willing to have me come over and spew and cry and drama, and that was good. She split a bottle of wine with me and I ate a lot of cookies, and I feel better, even if nothing is settled. She encouraged me to come to an Al-anon meeting with her. I might.

Good luck, meara. My therapist has been (gently) encouraging me to check out an Al-Anon meeting too, but I haven't found the spoons for it yet. I also need to find a prescribing psychiatrist.
Bonny! What a relief to see your pixels and I'm so sorry you've been going through this. Much love and healing thoughts to you.

Bonny, so glad you're home. Sorry you had to go through all that, but that Buffistas had your back.

not your mom's socks.
I like Ginger's idea for certain.
Bonny - I was a person on the phone ... we had a non working cell # for you and a room number but no hospital, so I did searchy stuff and talked to some hospital switchboards and after a few mistrys, there you were! I'm glad I got to talk to you before the smarter buffistas took over. Sending all the love from Philly.

Glad to hear Bonny's back home and doing as well as can be expected. Sorry to hear about the unnecessary hospital stay ... but glad to hear about good drugs ... and sorry to hear about the bad drugs.
Bonny, you have my phone number - feel free to call if you need anything. I plan to return the charger I found, since I assume you have one at home (unless you want a spare for emergencies).
My day started off with one of those horrendous public transit sagas, complete with Stupid!People (really - if you're going to carry a backpack the size of a four-year-old child, could you maybe stand AWAY from the door?). And I chipped my manicure. sigh
