high pain tolerance helps. my doctors tell me it is too high, I wait too long to see them.
That's what they told me when I came in to the hospital to give birth to my firstborn. Then when I was laboring with my second, I heard the nurse who examined me tell the other one "Call Dr. M and tell her to get here ten minutes ago."

I'm home from work due to illness, been sick since Friday.

Thanks. Turns out I have fluid in my lungs. An inhaler has been prescribed.

Except that I was scheduled to work on Sunday. But I'll be calling in again for Sunday, as I don't expect to be up to working by myself first day back. (Only one person from our office is scheduled for weekends, all that one person does is see patients, and it can be very stressful if it's busy at the hospital. Don't think I'll be up to that.)
I have permission to return to work next week. Next day I'm scheduled after Sunday is Wednesday. But I'm going to ask my supervisor if I can come in for a couple hours on Tuesday to catch up on some office work and continuing ed.
My chest still doesn't feel that great, may start the antibiotics that were prescribed if I don't feel better by tonight. She said start them if I get worse or don't improve.

That sucks, Sarge. Good luck winning the lotto. I actually bought a ticket today too. I only play once in a blue moon - way too pessimistic to be a gambler - but I had the sort of week where it's nice to fantasize about not having to go to work on Monday...
Hope you feel better soon, MsMary.
Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing

Have you at least seen the video of cats leaping away from cucumbers in terror?
(I was just thinking about how when things are incredibly rotten, one of the few things I like is to enjoy something completely hilarious. And also, I was thinking that it was bad for a week at your workplace, that's really bad..)
Wel, RE cats leaping away from cucumbers in terror.. I told a friend, "I am suspicious that it's just because there's an object there that wasn't before, which was placed by a human with unexpected stealth.."
Her reaction was, "Yeah, could be... or maybe it's a primal reaction to a creepy crocodile-looking thing sneaking up on them at the watering hole."
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."

Huh, I wasn't thinking it would have a huge long-term effect.
Is that something you know, or inferring from thinking about it?
(Otoh, even if it is an inference based on a small amount of data - you know cats pretty well!)
Oh, the things that look hilarious at a casual glance, but actually have something darker behind them...

Ahh..
And how do I feel now?
Partly stressed and worried about some things, partly encouraged about some things..

Yeah, the general consensus is the cats believe that a snake has suddenly appeared behind them. A well-adjusted cat probably won't have any long-term trauma, but it's still a bit rude to freak them out. (Cats have a longer memory than they usually get credit for.)
