Happy Easter/Passover/Spring Festivus!

Apr 16, 2006 04:05

I've been out of commission for a few weeks. No, I didn't get arrested for trafficking in illegal BBM DVDs. I was felled by something I usually savor - bile! That's right, folks, I may no longer have the wherewithal to snark.

Oh dear! Are you sure you weren't imbibing copious amounts of Cliquot, perhaps to get you through the tortuous season of SVU? (Well, the bloody stuff is expensive...and why waste it on TV? Okay, you were drinking Mad Dog again, right?)

I'm very relieved and happy that you got through everything all right, and with your snark intact. (We know you would never go "emergently" into that good night!) You'll be back to 100% before you know it.

Hmm, none of those top hospitals are in the NYC area...very annoying, that.

You know, I have a bottle of Veuve in the refrigerator. I was supposed to open it on Oscar night, when BBM took the big award.

Sigh.

I should pop the damned thing open and have it tomorrow, damn it!

And if I really did have my snark intact, I'd make some kind of insensitive comment about the lack of top medical facilities in NYC. But that just wouldn't be right.

Plus, as I just noticed, there actually is one - five above mine.

But we're still number three. Or something.

I know, I know, I shouldn't be so forgiving. And I really do think it was an egregious error that they sent me home from the ER initially. And some of the other mixups were scary. But in the end, I had two really cool female surgeons and great nurses and aides. So I give them an overall high mark.

Who knew I'd be such a generous grader?!

That YouTube video is hilarious. How cool would it beif we had one with Steve B. saying that! (I'm sure Mo probably has a personal one, hee.)

Speaking of Sonson, have you been watching GH? Because it's really good these days.

And that's NOT the painkillers, I swear.

Glad you are feeling better. I second the wonder of how people get hooked on Percs. EVERY type of narcogesic painkiller that I have taken for my back causes me to itch so much that I simply can't enjoy the experience. In fact, they bother me so much, I only took one last weekend when we travelled and that was because we were stuck on the tarmac for 3 hours-and THAT is bad for my back.

Eek - I never got to congratulate you on ditching your old evil workplace, or co-worker, I should say. Or to congratulate you on your new gig. Or wish you a bon voyage for your NYC trip.

I'm a bad LJ friend!

I haven't talked to too many people who don't have a bad reaction to painkillers. I asked my sister (the nurse) if they did it on purpose so people wouldn't get hooked. But she didn't confirm my conspiracy theory, sadly.

Itch vs. pain! badtyler April 18 2006, 17:08:25 UTC

I agree.
Even the stuff with synthetic codeine in it makes me itch.
(it does get people to move away from you, though... comes in handy now and then!)

But itching sucks.

Yikes! Welcome back, and grab that sleep while you can!

ultraviolet730 April 18 2006, 06:03:30 UTC

Thanks, R! Good advice on the sleep - something I'm sure you remember fondly : )

Oh my gosh this never posted to my flist!!!

Oh, I hope you're feeling better!
