I'm glad your hip's better, Erin.

Typo, that is weird. Maybe kale really is the wonder food advertisers claim.

That's great, Typo. When I dropped my cholesterol 100 points my doctor's advice was, "whatever you are doing, keep doing it."

When I cut back on butter and eggs, my cholesterol goes up.

I didn't take anything away, just consciously added oatmeal and cinnamon. Also more fish, nuts, olive oil, but not to any great extent. I added oatmeal pretty much every day.

I would love that, Liese.

Dear Coworkers:

I've worked here for longer than the rest of you put together. I've known A for 8 years. I am far more than slightly familiar with her propensity to exaggerate and make up symptoms. The fact that she is capable of making herself throw up is not lost on me. The fact that she is making herself throw up together with shaking, sweating and complaining of abdominal pain four days after her final dose of clozapine and three days after her final dose of topiramate (the later of which she has taken for YEARS) after having had all of one solid meal in the last week tells me SOMETHING is up. For reals. I was just hoping to get some anti-nausea medication to help her through withdrawal when I called her psychiatrist today, but the good doctor reminded me that the reason for discontinuing the clozapine was that it was affecting A's heart, and that heart symptoms sometimes masquerade as digestive symptoms and so please to take her in to the ER.

I get that you all think she is just trying to get attention. Please tell me all you want to that she was starving herself for the last week to "play us". I don't care. Yes, some of this may be exaggerated. But some of this is real. And however much of it is real deserves real medical attention. I'm entirely confident that I did the right thing.

Lots of the kind of love you give dumbasses,

Me

P.S. Sometimes when a person makes themselves throw up, it is because they feel like utter shit and hope to get some relief by getting whatever-it-is out of their system.

A suspicious police call I set up earlier tonight was cleared with notes that the involved were "heading to a bdsm sex party". I figured as much, and it is delightful to see that noted. Lol. Now I wonder where the party is.....

Haha Erin, someone's (which swype helpfully corrected to dungeons for me) having a good time.

Go you, andi, for making the right call.

That's cool the bdsm party fell into the "checks out ok" category. May they have plenty of fun.

Thanks, Liese. Gotta be honest, I'd love some concrete vindication. But in the end, whatever the doctors find or do for A (I went off duty before hearing) I'll be able to sleep tonight knowing I did the right thing rather than the easy thing.

O Bitches, my Bitches.

I've been reading the last 800 posts or so till now. You made me laugh and laugh, at times, and worry and feel for you at others. meara'ing 800 posts seems a bit too much. I'll just send my endless~ma and love to those who need it.

Basically, I just stopped by to wish Jewistas a happy Passover, the for those who celebrate it happy Easter. May the allergies spare you.
