moominmuppetI think the last few weeks have been the most cumulatively exhausting of my year so far. Spent Wednesday evening until 12:30am, and all day yesterday at the hospital with Liv (Bec took her into the ER on Wednesday, and was there with her all day until I could get home from patient-instructing, and we've been trading off shifts ever since), with a break in the afternoon to get a late lunch with my folks, who were in town to take ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
musicalchaos to check out Kent and get ready for heading there in January. Sounds like everything there went wonderfully, which is excellent news. Bec's with Liv today (and Jer's been very, very helpful with driving us back and forth), and I'll be back there this afternoon after work. My fibro's flaring to the point of brain-fog and losing words (the point that usually follows the "beaten with a baseball bat" feeling, which started Tuesday) from the cumulative effects of pushing myself with work hell, patient-instructing, election protection and worrying about Liv, which is frustrating when I really want to be coherent and on-the-ball to deal with the hospital staff. I'm incredibly relieved today is Friday, and I don't have anything stressful scheduled this weekend except possibly more hospital time. Given that visiting hours don't start 'til 10am, that means I can catch up on sleep and still spend the time there that I want and need to. Now if only they can figure out what the hell is going wrong so they can get things going right for her again. I guess it worked out for the best that deb took me off the escorting schedule this weekend after all.
I'm way behind on most forms of communication; it may be a few days before I catch up however much I'm going to.
And I just found out that Very Sweet Coworker was tangentially tagged during a massive accident on the freeway yesterday, and it may have screwed up her back again. I'm really, really hoping that isn't going to be the case; she'd been in so much pain for so long, and they finally did a surgery that helped substantially just this year. If this has messed that up for her, it's tragic.
Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention two bright spots in the past couple of days (aside from the election results, I mean); I got home exhausted and stressed Wednesday night, and found a package from Amazon. I found that puzzling, since I didn't recall ordering anything recently. It turned out to be the first half of my b-day present fromcalebbullen -- The Essential Johnny Cash -- right when I needed a bit of a pick-me-up (and the same thing happened the next day with the second half of the shipment, which was Ultrachrist). Thanks, Caleb; the timing on that couldn't have been better.

Date: 2006-11-10 04:12 pm (UTC)Things with Liv are bad -- they still haven't figured out what's causing the problem, they still haven't managed to fix it, and she can't have any effective main meds until they do, and she's been in excruciating pain since Wednesday. We're also are involving a major issue with the ombuds department regarding a doctor who was so inappropriate I've never seen worse, and the fact that they haven't given her a different one yet. I've been on the phone with ombuds multiple times today already, she still hasn't gotten a different physician, and I'm seriously considering taking the afternoon off to walk into the ombuds department in person to get some action on this.
