COSMO IS BACK! I am so glad!
Yoinks! I take both these meds too! I haven't had the side effects listed yet, thank goodness for small favors.
I think if you were gonna get those side effects, you'd have got them already, Nora! They came on pretty quick, within a couple days of starting the meds. IANAD.
Andi, I would be pissed off, too. If TPTB are gonna change The Way Things Are Done, they need to be clear and make sure nothing slips through the cracks in the transition. Sounds like they're handling this badly.
I'm feeling much better today, partly because I overslept by two hours. Eh, I'm on vacation this week. (I took the week off specifically to try to get better adjusted to the new med that's making me sleepy and dopey.*) I've decided to be non-compliant. I'm not taking the omeprazole (Prilosec) anymore. It's a PPI antacid. I had been taking OTC rantidine (Zantac), which is an antacid but not a PPI, and I had no problems with it, so I'm switching back. I'm also cutting the hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic) in half, because I suspect it's increasing my stomach acid somehow. These two things may not go together. On va voir. If I keel over, these were bad decisions.

Yay Cosmo! No outside adventuring again, ok?
WS, we once had a guy - officially in charge of HR policies - who would go in and change the files that outlined policy ... but not ever tell anyone until they ran up against one of his revised policies. He'd say that the files were there for anyone to read ... thankfully, he's not here any more.
Sounds like they're handling this badly.
Thankfully it is just the one supervisor. The wacky thing is, if I went to
her
supervisor about the lack of communication, for all the regional director is a very empathetic woman whom I adore working for, I'd still get "Company policy is ... but company policy is... " rather than a resolution of the real problem. Of course, with the regional director I could say, "Did I not find my own replacements at the other two houses with no problems when I was out with my back injury? OK, so now we know I know both to do it and how to do it. Yet there is a problem with that house. Pretty sure it isn't me. I'm not the one who acts like my behavior is bizarre when I go asking people to pick up shifts which aren't listed on the sign-up sheet. And I can totally see that, from my coworkers' perspective - deviating from the accepted pattern of behavior looks shifty. Especially when out of one side of their mouths the bosses are preaching "no overtime, no overtime" and out of the other side of their mouths it's "overtime for everyone cuz we can't find anyone to hire." So the sign-up sheet for open shifts gets posted by the supervisor and approved. But if my requests don't go on the sign-up sheet, how can anyone know they're approved to work overtime for me? They think I'm doing something wrong.
In addition to the awesome Cosmo news, the kitty I picked up last night, thinking it was Cosmo turned out to indeed have a microchip and CosmoNot (who is really Bella) is happily reunited with HER owner, a nice lady who was very happy to see HER kitty.
I feel like I've been smoking the world's most excellent happy weed all day long. I'm so blissed out.
Kitties in the right places.
Two for two on humane cat trapping - nice!
