Working 24 hours straight is an unreasonable expectation. Much less expecting someone to do it when she needs medical attention. If someone has to take a break from their workout to take over for you, ita, then so be it. I hope having one of the good nurses means you're getting the right treatment.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Mmm, venison chili sounds like excellent snowstorm sustenance.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Douche doctor alert. If only they'd tell me that before I'd waited five fucking hours. And again, he tried to frame it in terms other than no way no how, but when pressed....that's it. I will never get the opiate painkillers at this hospital again, except right to my face this time, with bonus "No, we won't page your neuro and tell him immediately either."
I'm off to Santa Monica, and if that doesn't work I seriously have no idea, because I've been crying for three days now.
The nurse was so nice....the resident was so nice...but now I'm caught in some power play and it's fucking me over and I don't know what to do. I can't not work tomorrow. I can't even stay home in this much pain.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Right?
I agree with Calli here. I wish it had worked out for you when it looked like it was going to, but there are things beyond your control here, and you are doing the best you can.
Argh! That's awful. What do they think you're supposed to do? It's not acceptable.

Exactly what Calli said, ita. Vibing for a good trip to Santa Monica.

Yes, what Calli said, so much. And I don't even know what to say about your treatment at the hospital. Much ~ma for Santa Monica.
Also, wellness vibes for Grace.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Damn, ita. Didn't your neuro actually send orders to the ER just this week telling them to treat you according to his protocol? I am astounded at this level of active malpractice.

Oh, no! Come on, Santa Monica, I guess.

Ok, drunk deer chili is simmering away. I goofed and opened cans of beans before I noticed the recipe doesn't actualy call for beans, but too late, they're going in anyway. I like beans. So I'll just finish whatever time the recipe calls for, then add the beans and give it another fifteen minutes or so.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now I'm annoyed that I don't have any chili in the freezer. And not even the ingredients for any!
