Glad yer back and progressing. You, single handidly, whipped this joint into a frenzied beehive of speculation. I kinda had hopes for the young barfly. Maybe next time huh? ???? ?ÿ
Maybe he could refer her to you while he gets back to full steam?
Well, it is a bit disturbing to wake up to find some woman standing at the end of your bed telling you it's time to get up and out.?ÿ Especially when you've never seen her before in your life.
My wife tells me I have returned to being my normal disagreeable self.?ÿ I'll take that as a compliment and recognition that I am doing much better now.?ÿ It would help if I could accept that as being accurate.?ÿ We'll see.
I was in a bad place about 35 years ago and a shrink wrote me a prescription for some "mood enhancing" medicine.?ÿ I never noticed any side effects...but it put everybody around me in a better mood.?ÿ?ÿ😉
No, but I got to flush a 3/4 full bottle of pills that cost $200.?ÿ ?ÿ
It it's not on the FDA flush list (only about a dozen powerful opiate drugs) *do not* flush prescription medications down the toilet, they mess with the environment.?ÿ Either dispose of them through a drug take back program ?? or you can do it at home following a specific procedure before you throw them in the household trash.
That was back in the day when you could flush anything you wanted into your own septic tank.?ÿ Now that I live in town I just take the pill bottle to the park with me when I walk the dogs and hand the pills out to the homeless folks.?ÿ 😉

A couple of years ago a vegetarian co-worker was upset because his meatless "hot dogs" had gone missing from the common work fridge. I told him I wanted to feel better so I took them out to the homeless folks around our building and had to run for my life to keep from being attacked for trying to poison them.
About 15 years ago I was a victim of "prescription poisoning" administered by my PCP.?ÿ Damned near killed me.
Me too.?ÿ My faith in my?ÿ Primary Care Provider doctor dropped several notches after I spent 5 years complaining my right ear was going deaf and developing tinnitus and he ascribed it to too many firearms and dirt bikes in my youth, live with it.?ÿ I finally ended up yelling at him to do something and pointing to my right ear so he grudgingly sent me to the audiologist.?ÿ She confirmed my right ear was severely deaf but pooh poohed it was ageing and did some strange tests involving repeating words and some clamp on electrical things. She said I may have a very rare brain tumor and ordered an MRI.?ÿ Lo and behold I had a growing brain tumor which was destroying my right ear hearing and would debilitate/kill me in a few more years.?ÿ ?ÿThe skull surgery team went into high gear and administered stereotactic radiosurgery which involved going to LA where the?ÿ only facility in So. Cal. was. They neutralized it and it's not gotten worse ten years later, although I now have $5,000 hearing aids and it's kinda hard to understand folks in noisy environments and soft talkers.?ÿ Sad that had it been diagnosed five years earlier I'd still have good hearing.
Here's the takeaway.?ÿ This PCP is like a cattle rancher with thousands of cattle; ignore ageing complaints & if a cow is diagnostically sick it's likely X therefore administer Y which will likely fix it.?ÿ When diagnosed, my PCP said he'd never heard or had a patient with my rare tumor and didn't apologise for his delay to send me to specialists.?ÿ I was statistically insignificant.?ÿ With my plan I can switch PCPs at the drop of a hat but medical industry friends said I could jump from the frying pan into the fire; my description of his care concerning other matters was acceptable.
It's too bad you ended up in the hospital.
I had an issue in 2018 and one thing I highly recommend is Fentanyl. The doctor said he gave me the good stuff, not the over the border bad stuff.
I can say it works really, really well.?ÿ
You feel so good you think you can do anything.?ÿ
They didn't let me stay on it very long,,,,,probably a good thing.?ÿ
Hope you get better soon, and stay better.?ÿ

I haven't seen my primary care doc in almost two years.?ÿ However I do see his PA all the time.?ÿ The PA is a retired US Army nurse about my age and he's a pretty sharp cookie.?ÿ I don't know what I'm going to do when he retires.?ÿ But I do hope whoever replaces him has smaller fingers.?ÿ
When prescription H is added to the mix and interacts with one or more of prescriptions A, B, C, D, E, F and G some really bad stuff can happen.?ÿ I had more and more prolonged hot flashes in a handful of days than most menopausal women have over ten years.?ÿ When every inch of your body is aflame for thirty minutes and a bucket of sweat has hit the floor you tend to get real edgy when the next hot flash comes around.?ÿ It might last 30 seconds or five minutes but it could be another of those 30 minute ones. Toss in insane insomnia for a week while the bad stuff is working itself out of your system.?ÿ If you want to lose six pounds in eight days..................starve.............don't do this.
