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.

Is the steroid inhaler helping? Or maybe you need a preventive inhaler as well as a rescue one for a little while?
The steroid inhaler is the preventive one, the albuterol is the rescue one. I've been on the steroid one for two days now, and the only difference is that now I'm coughing up a lot of mucus, while it used to be a dry cough, and I don't think that has anything to do with the steroid. I'm not sure what it does have to do with, but it doesn't make sense for the steroid to have done that.

Because books.
No, that's not the steroid. Maybe it's just running its course finally. I'd give it a few more days. I know how awful it is, though -- once I was so bad I ended up in the ER for an adrenaline shot, and I would do just about anything not to repeat that experience.

Well, you've suggested just about everything that the actual doctors did.
I hope you start feeling better Hil.
Thanks. I've just got one more day of teaching tomorrow, and then a week of break.

Also maybe thanksgiving could be all rest and no cooking? Could someone take over the cooking you were going to do?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Fundraiser is over! Hurrah! This one was so frustrating to coordinate that I had to hand off a lot of responsibility (after getting the ball rolling)for my sanity even BEFORE I had the whole last minute death in the family and subsequent travelling etc. I ran the silent auction, and it went OK, I think. I probably could have done better, but I think it was OK.
Shitloads of people didn't collect on their winnings so I'll be dealing with that this weekend.
I am also uneasily realizing that we are going completely to ground as hermits and I need to figure out how to reverse course. I guess "go out and do stuff" is what should be done, but it's pretty hard to motivate on that. Ugh. I hate this. I suck at New Orleans!

Hon, don't be too hard on yourself. It's been a stressful while.
Why don't you do a walking tour, or a houses tour; something low-key? Take a cooking class; learn how to make a good roux or jambalaya or something fun.

Dad update. Stint surgery went swell. They postponed today's procedure trying to figure out what caused the mini stroke. Looks like it will happen 8:30am Friday EST. and still playing phone tag with east coast. Text messages are good, but not that good.
