Emergency room again.

Intractable vomiting (feat. Blood clots and deep orange bile) shakes/chills, flop sweat.

Did you guys know you can drink lidocaine?

Edit*

I'm comfortablely parked in my recliner with the proverbial Michigan cure-all, Vernors, in hand.

Managed to get home by shackling a compounding pharmacy with a prescription list both archaic and arcane.

All my bits are where they ought to be, less the array of various goo corpuscles sent off for testing.

Diagnosis - likely a form of Viral gastroenteritis.

Treatment - Extra Drugs in various forms to keep the tenuous armistice that is my body from devolving into open warfare.

Also, sleep in aforementioned recliner for a week instead of my bed, to be kind to various bits under repair and somehow that helps.

Me and my sniffles and vaguely-clogged nose are going to stop feeling sorry for ourselves. Hope you turn around soon.

sending so much love. I did not know you could drink Lidocane... but then again - never had a glass in front of me.

I hope you never need to.

Works GUD.

That sounds terrible. Went to the ER the other week with the spouse who was coughing up blood from what looks like Valley Fever.
