And now I'm having my typical, I've taken a new med and don't know what it is going to do to me, panic attack. I hate my body.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

The VA is actually really good about that. Every time my dad sees a doctor they have a printout of everything he's taking for anything, and I think it flags potential conflicts.

If all your healthcare providers are part of the same system, they need to get their act together. There's more than one computerized patient management system out there. EPIC is here in Madison and they're one of the hugest in the country. The university hospital and clinics system use it and it's awesome. Doesn't matter who I see, they just pull up my record on the computer, ask me if any of my medicines have changed since the last time they saw me, but only to verify that someone didn't forget to put it in my record. So if I go to my shrink, my PCP, my optometrist, they all have the same info.

We're on a computer system. The computer system has my intolerances listed. They print out a list of those and my medications every time I'm there and have me verify it before handing it to the doctor. There really is no excuse.

I made it through teaching today. Still coughing a lot, though not anywhere near as wheezy or strong a cough as before. Really tired now. And I've got a Skype interview tomorrow for a new job, so getting through that will be interesting. I'll just say something like, "Sorry about my cough, but I'm recovering from bronchitis" at the beginning, and then try to talk around the coughing as much as I can. (I'm not totally sure yet if this is a job I actually want or not. The job ad left some things kind of vague, so I've got a bunch of questions to ask them about it.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Good luck, Hil.
askye, I'm sending you warm thoughts because I don't know what to say that will actually be encouraging rather than annoying or burdensome.

Andi, please don't think that something you'll say will be annoying or burdensome.
Unless you say something like "time heals all wounds" or "God doesn't give you more than you can handle" which I'm pretty sure you won't then encouraging words wouldn't be annoying or burdensome.

Also it fucking snowed again last night and I'm so fucking fed up with snow.
Tomorrow's high is suposed to be 59, but raining most of the day. Sunday Weather Channel is predicting 61 and sunny but I'll believe that when I see it.
