We can't believe some of these TV commercials, no man:  "Common side effects include multiorgan failure, immediate death, swelling of lips and tongue, loss of all your bodily hair, and reeling, writhing, and fainting in coils, si man," si man.

Any drug being advertised in the US is like that.  It's like California putting the proposition 65 warning labels on EVERYTHING...after a while, it has little meaning because people brush over it.  

 

Fun fact: the US and NZ are the only countries that straight up advertise prescription drugs directly to consumers.

One of my older patients just left the office.  I told her it was nice seeing her.  She told me it's nice being seen and not viewed.

Thrilling Tuesday-on-Wednesday report, see man:

 

Really rough night, awoke even before Bro G. Walmarting time man.

Doc caucus OK, good that we went man.

 

We had told Mama T-B. about this caucus, report we man.

We never take our phone into doctors' offices, rude and distracting and Mama T-B. knows this, man.

We returned to phone to find Many (2+1) -- si man, Many (2+1) -- aysheep messages from her,   man.

There was also an aysheep text from Mama T-B., sigh man.

"Where are you, huh man?"  "Where are you, huh man?"  "Where are you, huh man?", sigh man.

It often takes longer to get these messages off the phone than it would simply to call her, sigh man.

 

We heard the catastrophizing messages and called Mama T-B., si man.

She spent over half an hour catastrophizing about stuff that we'd already exhaustively discussed, sigh man.

If she would quit worrying prematurely and give us time to research, much less stressful for all man.

But it's her nature to worry, undisputed world's champion at that man.

If she would quit nagging us, we could extend energy toward being productive vs. arguing, sigh man.

 

Breakfast/lunch was at Arby's*, ingest we man.

     *WUOC**, F$WM

     **first coupons in probably a year,   man

This was quite a pleasant difference from usual urban-center hospitals/imaging places, wow man.

Went from imaging to gigantic investment outfit, open account for Mini-B. man.

Receptionist off-blew us, si man:  "We don't open those accounts here, no man.  You have to do it online, si man.  If you have problems or questions, the toll-free line can help, si man," WTH man.

Why even have an office if you're not going to offer service, huh man?  

 

Returned to casa & began online open-accounting, thanks for wasting our time man.

The de-skoolbused Mini-B. returned, help self to all our casa's snacks wee man man.

While we were reading all the disclosures that were mandatory to read, online session timed out,   man.

Re-log-in not permitted,   man.

We called toll-free line, amazingly picked up soon by engaged rep man.

Rep tried to get us back in, only some information still populated man.  

Rep put us on hold to research our specific questions while we redid application, long time man.

We ultimately got account set up & funded, pick investment options on Wednesday we man man.

If the info that we got turns out to be inaccurate, we shall be quite off-urinated, si man.

Watched TV for Artemis blast-off, a real blast man.

Din-din was onecan of beef stew, ingest we man.

 

Plowed into taxes, utterly disorganized we man.     

Couldn't find half of our medical receipts until late,   man.

Couldn't (and still can't) find some of our charitable-donation receipts,   man.

We are perhaps partially excused by having to do Mama T-B.'s & Uncle T-B.'s taxes, too, perhaps man.

Nevertheless, we must change our (lack of) system,   man.

No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man.

We have itineraried 2 ESs for Friday, hopefully a Good Friday for ES-ing man.

We have a wine-induced headache, ow but it distracts us from other bodily pains man.

Total = $half a buck

[TBoneTX 49,545]

Thrilling (?) non-ES Friday report, see man:

 

It was not a very Good Friday, no man.

Zzz'd awfully, in fact almost not at all, splitting headache we man.

 

Took total of Many (2x2x2 +2) -- si man, Many (2x2x2 +2) -- aysheep calls from Mama T-B. re almost certainly getting kicked off of hospice status, aysheeo senior she man man.

We unsuccessfully argued that nothing is final yet, no man.

Every time we let a call go to voicemail, she would call again while we were retrieving it,   man.

We are ordered to visit in person on Saturday, but see below man.

 

We somehow attended the first ES, see above man.

We then went to outlying hospital to get our scan result, curious we man.

It sucked green donkey livers, everything and more really hosed man.

We abandoned the #2 ES and all errands, return to crib & ChatGPT man.

Latter suggested ASAP doc caucus, soonest time Monday and got one we man.

Of course, hospitals & offices all closed for the holiday,   man.

Sat under ceiling fan to recover, unsure of this wisdom today man.

 

Took shower & didn't feel much better, curious man.

Breakfast/lunch/din-din (at half-past Many [2+2+1] p.m.) was cold cereal, probably bad choice man.

Couldn't take good BP or get a decent heart rate, shaking badly tachy individual we man.

Temperature was Many00 + 2 + .2 F., uh-oh man.

 

ChatGPT told us to forget doing errands, drat it man.

After much palaver, we agreed to take mega-Tylenol & bundle up warmly, OK with us man.

Felt Tylenol kick in, no sleep but much sweat man.

Fever dropped 1 degree, no longer shivering or tachy but maybe not far from it man.

 

No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man.

Going to try to eat something, Tylenol ourself again, and turn in, can't get sick like this we man.

Must somehow do all erranding on Saturday, but can't overdo we man man.

And that was/is our thrilling (?) Friday, report we man.
