{{{Allyson}}} I just can't imagine how awful that must have been.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Allyson, you were handed an impossible task. Vent as needed. Please.

If I only had a brain...
I am sorry, Allyson. I can't begin to imagine how horrible that is to remember and to experience. I am so sorry.
If I sound dumb today (no reassurances necessary) bear with me. I had to take a Tramadol and they really lobotomize me. Ironically, I am only allowed 2 days a week of Toradol, 2 a week of Relpax (I get a mighty 6 doses a month, and you may need to repeat doses during the day), 2 of Tramadol. My pain specialist has just sent mail saying "You aren't supposed to take Tramadol on a long-term basis!" I had to sit on my fingers to avoid saying "WHO THE HELL PRESCRIBED THEM FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, THE OPIOID FAIRY?!?!?"

Oh, Allyson, you are carrying a huge emotional load right now - it's completely understandable that you'd feel broken beneath it. And it's okay to be broken right now, really.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am so sorry Allyson. You were given a horrible task. I wish I could carry some of this for you.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
There is mercy in that someone who loved her told them.
You weren't some police officer doing his best to be kind to strangers. Your heart was breaking along with theirs. Their daughter was so far away from them and there was nothing that they or you or anybody else could do - but she was surrounded by people who'd have done anything for her. That matters.

Oh, Allyson. How awful. I'm so sorry. I wish we could lift some of this burden off of you.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

The hell? My dad has been taking it for headache pain for years. Just when the headache is too bad for over-the-counter meds, but I don't believe his prescription has restrictions other than "no more than once daily."

I'm so sorry, Allyson. I wish I had some way to ease your burden.
