Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

His words:

The only other option is to have you admitted for IV treatment.

Okay, sure! I'll get admitted to hospital 52 times a year. That sounds like a totally reasonable use of everyone's time and resources. That's not a waste of ANYTHING.

If he doesn't have my back (the pain doctor is a toss up--it's a miracle he's prescribing me pain meds, but he normally "fixes" my shoulder once a year--the flexeril is because he hasn't been able to fix it this year) I am effectively backless. I have that general doctor from Gonda who called my record of bad response "dubious" who seems reasonable, but I DON'T KNOW WHO THE FUCK HE IS. He's not *my* doctor. I need *my* doctor to want to help me. For fuck's sake why is that complicated?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

He wants you to go into the hospital every WEEK? WTF?

Is being admitted that much worse than having it in the ER?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm currently trying to explain to the neuro how low my bar is.

I don't know if this is useful, but could you talk about it in terms of being able to drive? That seems concrete and life-affecting.

Yes. It's "only" observation, it's not like they're settling you down for the long haul, but it's not something ou do casually. Doctors are much harder to come by, for one-- especially the ones in your speciality., and there's a meal plan, and they take over giving you your normal meds--there's a decent chance I wouldn't always get out in time to go to work on Monday unless I left AMA.

Happy birthday, brenda!

So yesterday, my one coworker said something about The Office and our office, and now I can't stop assigning people to characters in my head, and it's so inappropriate and/or mean! (Inappropriate: the one woman of color in my department is kind of cutesy, so Kelly. Mean: a coworker I like quite who is dumpy as Phyllis.)

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, brenda!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Happy birthday, brenda!!!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Happy birthday, brenda!!!
