22. Asthma Attack is WAY BETTER Than An Unexplained Seizure!!
I've been having asthma attacks all week - I'm sensitive to cold air - and I'll be damned if I can find the albuterol inhaler, but I'll take those ANY DAY OF THE WEEK over being in the hospital two weeks with an unexplained seizure!!

Sakabatou, I hope you (and your memory) make a full and speedy recovery and that this was a one-time, never-recurring thing that means absolutely nothing bad about your long-term health.

18. Did your nurse do a competent IV stick?
After a recent operation, the most pain I had was on my GODDAMNED HAND FROM THE FRACKING IV!!!!!! Sore for WEEKS!!!!

Last week when I gave blood, even the phlebotomists were complaining about RN competence in doing IVs.

38. Well, The Pirate Look Is Cool...
But stop having problems! Don't make me come up there!

I take Topamax for migraines; I take a pretty small dose since it is just for migraines; it keeps me from going blind in one eye (I usually don't use "just" for migraines, but in this case, I think it is appropriate). What the HELL are they giving you??!!??1!

41. Ask For Wallet-Size Copies
And start feeling better. I'm in PA a lot these days anyway - I'm getting married at the Stanford Barn - but I'm pretty busy so I'd be pissed if I had to take time out smack you, so just get better, okay?
