bonny I'm glad to hear you are out of the hospital and feeling better. I know how draining IV antibiotics can be, and my only experience was at home, not dealing with a constant barrage of doctors and nurses.
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

Sox! Of course. I'm so sorry I didn't mention your detective work. I was so touched. Your call came at the peak of an Ativan dosage while waiting to get more blood drawn.
But that is not excuse. In fact, you were the very first person to call! And I was so surprised and pleased. Please forgive my momentary lapse.
This morning I feel so dull...like I've been visited by Dementors or something. All the good feelings have been drained away.
Plus, I have some enormous blotches of "Bactrum Rash" on my face that make me appear as if I am making a first attempt at Kabuki...with a fat, felt marker, in the dark, with palsy.
I'm alive. Yay.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
bonny, so great to hear from you! I'm so sorry to hear about the antibiotics fiasco. I hope you feel better soon.
Buffistas FTW, in general.
meara and Nora, I am a fan of AlAnon and am happy to talk about my experiences. And Nora, I've been thinking about trying a meeting here, so if it would help we could go together to one to break the ice.

This is an excellent idea.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'll just hold all of you close for a bit. It has been a rough few days for people .

I didn't want you wondering who the random voice from the Internet was! You don't need to be sorry for anything.
I wish I had a good link to post as anti-dementor therapy...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I found Al-Anon helpful. I didn't go for very long, because I'm not a joiner and whatnot, but I did go for a little while. It was good for me to get advice and empathy from people who don't really need things explained to them, because they already get it.

What Beth said.
Bonny, I'm so sorry you went through such an ordeal. Antibiotics are bad enough when you need them. I am currently celebrating my last dose of cipro, hopefully for a good long while.

Smonster, I'd love to hear a bit more. My friend is a good friend, but not normally the same sort of person I am (?? Way more woo-woo, for instance) and I'm not sure how their experiences translate to me.
Am getting coffee and going to deal with the NINETY new emails in my work inbox from yesterday. Lordy.
