Salome cries uncle.

[sweetsalome]

I will explain my love / hate relationship with hospitals. I love the fact that despite a lot of things hospitals are full of life and with people helping others. I hate the fact that when you go to a hospital your worst qualities will be on display and you will have some creepy doctor touching you.

Sooooo, I broke down and went to my GP because well, apparently I am sick. The GP is one that my grandmother has been seeing for ages and ages. So I go and . . . nothing. No answers, only suggestions on what it COULD be and those aren't pretty. Cysts, inflamed appendix, etc. I piss in a cup and he tells me to go to the hospital to get an abdominal CT.

I do not like CTs. If you've ever had a CT you'll know that when they start spinning they smell like butt. BAD BUTT. I've talked to various technicians and doctors about this - and they can't explain why that happens. Not only do CTs smell like butt, but you have to suck down Barium and get contrasts.

Barium makes you glow, and contrast is iodine that makes you feel like you've wet yourself all over the darn machine. They flavor the Barium with this mixed berry crap, and . . . uhhhh bad news bears.

Bottom line? I just got home and besides getting some really good shots of dilaudid (Pro tip: No more morphine, morphine is for wimps). Instructions to eat more, and had a whole bunch of potassium shoved down my throat. I walked away with a massive headache and a prescription for an anti-biotic for a . . . Urinary tract infection.

Now, I'm pretty sure I've had one of these bad boys before, and I have not had pain this bad before. But what do I know? My medical degree from the Medical school of Mexico hasn't come in yet.

*hugs* CTs are no fun and I hate them with a passion.

Hope you feel better soon, hon!

*Hiro brings Salome some fries for her cheeseburger.*

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

They are like torture for the twenty-first century. I feel much better now, as does Salome, so thank you very much! I'm just kind of tired of feeling bad, ya know?



*Salome tackles Hiro.* Mine!

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Yeah, feeling sick, especially for any length of time, is very wearying. Hopefully it will get better soon (and drink your cranberry juice).

*Hiro lets himself get tackled.* Mochiron!

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

I forgot to get cranberry juice! I'll get some at the store tomorrow! I've been drinking lotsss of fluids.


*Salome paws him, exploring and searching for what she wants chittering like a happy squirrel.*

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

Aw, hope you feel better. :( *hugs* CTs are evil.

Also, sorry for getting behind on tags. I'm in craziness at work.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

It still hurts, which leads me to believe that their diagnosis was . . . off thank you though :)

No worries, really and truly, don't worry about it!

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. Well, I hope they figure it all out soon.

Cool. I may be spotty for tags for a bit due to this thing, just to give you heads up. :)

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

When it rains it pours around these here parts.

Of course! Thanks for the heads up, I completely understand. Take your time, when you're free, you're free.

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

Aw. :P

Cool, thanks. :)

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Remember cranberry juice.

*Hiro giggles and holds out the fries.*

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

God dammit! I still don't think this is a UTI.

Takes the fries and a big kiss.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Do you think they missed something? Are you still having problems?

*Hiro kisses her, then steals a fry.*

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

I think that no UTI I've ever had feels like I'm being stabbed in the ovaries repeatedly. Just sayin'.

Steals another kiss and feeds him a French fry.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

That doesn't sound right at all. Have they checked for something like ovarian cysts?

*He eats the fry, then grabs one and waves it at her.*

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm saying. No, they didn't, I was told that there should have been other symptoms that were missing.

Pounces on him and the fry.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Grrrr, I hate when they decide they already know what's wrong and to hell with what the patient says! I can't stand doctors myself. (And I work with them - even worse)

*Hiro holds the fry up for her to bite.*

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Yeah it was pretty much that, and I was sure that wouldn't happen since there were a lot of doctors! Eh, idiots. Is there one particular reason you don't like doctors?

Leans forward and carefully eats the fry from his fingers.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Mainly because they're arrogant. I've had too many who refused to listen to me just because they thought I was a stupid woman who didn't know anything. I especially try to avoid older male doctors.

Hiro grabs another and holds it out. It's sexy watching her eat food from his fingers.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Now that's just insane, I mean really now. I got the same feeling when I showed up. I think they just want to get you in and out too.


Licking her lips she lent forward and slowly nibbled fry from his fingers.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. Or they're all "You have have this because you're 'whatever', and they get all bent out of shape when you tell them they'r wrong.

"You are so sexy." *He grabs another fry.*

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

There is nothing worse then not being believed. Or given some bs diagnosis.

"I've never been told that, especially eating fries." Grinning she slides her hands up his hips slowly before biting at the fry quickly.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Especially when you have an idea of what it is and what they're telling you is completely bogus.

"Your eyes are very sultry. You look like you want to nibble on me."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Well I think that's just because we all know women should stay in the kitchen . . .


"I do want to nibble on you! You are much more tasty then a French fry." Picking up his hand she starts to playfully nibble on his fingers and hand.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Pfffffffffft!

His fingers taste of fries. "Oh no!" he squeaks, sounding a little like Mr. Bill. "Do not eat me, please!"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Salome dissolves into giggles at the sound of him, slumping against him. "Do it again! Do the voice!"
