I think I pissed off a nurse by asking for more anti nausea meds.

Would she rather you puked on her shoes? I expect it would make your head feel worse, though, so I won't suggest testing it. I'm glad you got your pain meds, anyway.

Yeah, I'm glad that the doctors didn't balk at the first dose, even if they didn't want to give me another. I just...I couldn't fight that initial fight. The second fight, well, fine. Maybe one day they'll do what they're asked to by my doctors, and increase the chances of me feeling well. But I can't afford to make myself feel worse fighting that battle right now. I don't have it in me.

The first nurse was really nice. She said she'd email the head of the ER on my behalf, asking them to straighten out my regimen, and also said I might want to wait around until the doctors changed shifts to see if I could get a second dose from a new doctor.

It was her replacement who was all "Well, why do you want PO compazine then??" Uh, to complement the IV zofran, since those are apparently the only two anti emetics you have in the hospital?

Actually, there is another. Phenergan, I think. I just couldn't remember the name of it at the time. I'm not sure why I've only gotten that once. They act like they only work with compazine, reglan, and zofran. And only the latter available in IV. But I did have IM phenergan once, and I vaguely remember it being decently effective. I need to remember to ask.

One of the doctors said, when refusing me the second dose "Well, it doesn't cost anything to wait and see." I did actually say "Well, I'm in pain, though." out loud, because I couldn't believe she'd said that.

Ah, well.

Six in hand black minis with their new carriage. Want!

Argh. I'm glad you got some treatment, at least, but still, grr.

Yeah, maybe it doesn't cost *her* anything. Sheesh.

Aww, cutie mini horses!

Man, today is just miserable out here. Wind's at about 50mph. Which has kicked up the pollen something awful. The SO dragged his tail into one of the local churches anyway to promote next week's concert they're putting on, but they cancelled announcement time since it's Palm Sunday. Even though he asked about that before setting up the announcement.

I was supposed to go in to meet him to go to the other church, but our allergies are both just too bad, so he's coming home now and we're going to tuck in where we can sniffle without disturbing anything and watch the Pens/Flyers.

Is it so hard to fill a paper coffee cup with cold water so that the actor/actress treats it as a cup full of something? /random TV rant to span all threads

Is it so hard to fill a paper coffee cup with cold water so that the actor/actress treats it as a cup full of something?

No, but it is potentially messy and distracting. Some productions will put sand (or equivalent) in, because it is less likely to splash or be a right there liability for costume and sets, but in general they just hope that people will act.

When two white guys of the same height are playing tennis, there should be a requirement that they're both not all dressed in white with white caps, because then I can't tell them apart.

Don't they have distinctive screams? Then yes, agreed.

PiBaby is sooo cute! That smile is killer.

This leaning-his-head-to-one-side-and-smiling is how he tries (and, of course, succeeds each and every time) in charming whoever he wants to charm. How will we ever be able to set clear limits to all this adorableness?

That's the thing about toddlers, unlimited adorableness at their command. I still laugh when I think about Grace having her adorableness officially documented and legally binding. As if anyone would dare to disagree?

I'm feeling better and better about my Hunger Games decision. Franny hasn't questioned it once, even admitted that she didn't really want to see it yet.
