I called poison control. The woman assured me I wasn't going to make myself sick from this (more than likely). I didn't even think "oh there's mercury in this" I just thought - damn there's glass everywhere this is going to be a mess. I'm throwing everything in a trash bag that I'll then triple bag.
She said throwing out bedding and clothing was over kill. The main worry is washing it in warm water, but I washed stuff in cold water.
It's been over 15 minutes since the tube broke but I guess if I'm vacuuming I'm stirring up more vapors.
There was a bit of glass in some yarn, but the only thing I'm throwing away is the trick or treat bag I made for Evander.
Good idea on calling poison control, I wouldn't have thought of it.
Was there no one there who knew you today, ita?
Once the attending says so, it doesn't matter. I have no idea what the resident said on her own, but I did overhear a snippet of the attending on the phone to my doctor saying "We don't think dilaudid is appropriate". You can go fuck yourself, Dr. Morocco. Since your attending couldn't tell me what I should do (she doesn't know my case that well), how can she tell me what I should do? I mean...you know enough that it's not this? Based on something the pain guy and the neuro don't know? What is that new piece of knowledge?
They wouldn't tell me. Maybe it's special doctor magic.
Well, anyway, I'm shutting off my phones because I cannot talk to my parents like this, and going to see how much fun lying down is for 20 or so hours.
That is not a useful sort of magic. I wish you bearable sleep until you can get someone to help you, I guess.
There needs to be some kind of outpatient clinic to administer treatments like yours. I wish there was.
I am so sorry ita, what a colossal fuck up! I support going into the neuro's office in the morning and waiting until he makes time to see you. This current plan just isn't working.
There needs to be some kind of outpatient clinic to administer treatments like yours. I wish there was.
Exactly! So clearly what's needed. I don't understand why the neuro and the pain doc can agree to a medication plan but neither office is equipped to implement it.
So seriously, you got nothing? This is absurd.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Can we start a change.org petition or something? Fucking unbelievable.
Jesus, ita, that's just fucked up. They didn't give you anything at all, when the notes from two doctors are right there in your dossier? That ought to be illegal.
