I've calmed down enough to make it to my appointment. The first IV didn't take, but the second one seems to be working.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yay, cooperative IVs!

Our wings are not tired
I'm home from the ER. 7mm Kidney stone, so that's fun. Followup with urologist to happen soon.

Ouch, ND. If you wanted to take some time off we could have given you plenty of better options to consider.

Always Anti-fascist!
Sometimes I feel badly about, like, being the World's Oldest Intern(and I'm not even that, really, because I don't get class credit) but you know, I do lots of shit that nobody else likes and with a smile, most of the time. I'm not really ready for anything else, exactly,except I wish that a few of my stories got a little attention, but sometimes I think "I'm forty-one years old and started off Cheating Death(TM) and whatever. Was it all so I could look up phone numbers in Brattleboro, Vermont?"(Although I don't mind doing that, and I'm old enough to appreciate that it would be a beast of a job if I had to do it Joan and Betty style, without the internet, but still.)

Yowza. Hubby had a big one once that took lithotripsy to get rid of. Once he changed from hard, city water to bottled water, his incidence of kidney stones went way down.

Ouch, ND. I'm at least glad it isn't the pancreatitis.
I'm home and exhausted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Ouch, ND. May it be resolved quickly and painlessly.
Now I'm thinking about drinking less of my somewhat-hard tap water. And giving my cats bottled spring water. Ouch, I say.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We don't buy bottled water anymore--no ripping off tribal lands for corporate profits, thanks. But we do filter our tap water, and I think it makes a difference. Brita filters, FTW!
We have water bottles in the fridge, and we carry one with us when we're out--no exorbitant spending for water or soft drinks, that way. We've done it for twenty years now. I wonder how many filters we've consigned to the landfill?

The bottled water I buy is from a spring in the mountains above Salt Lake City.
