Apparently 'Vomiting so hard it comes out your nose' is the motivator I needed to spend more hours trying to get my IV antiemetics refilled.

Infusion Pharmacy continues to irk me - you'd think they'd want to keep a patient that brings them thousands of dollars of work each week.

Ah, this brings us to the other handicapped parking paradox: Dad won't let me drive because he thinks I'm too sick. teapaw.org/CarlyRM/status/7633233…

Ah, healthcare, I'd almost forgotten your absurd disconnects: spending my day connecting DC & CA branches of a national pharmacy chain.
My rxn: hiding scars at your collar bone requires a turtleneck. In this heat that'd make me pass out & really cause a scene! @bostonheartmom

Had a lecture from dad today on how I should hide my chest surgery scars better. Reminded me of @jameson_rich's article @bostonheartmom.

Absolutely beautiful. Loved the trip from embarrassment/shame to acceptance & making an invisible illness visible. teapaw.org/bostonheartmom/status/…

You know you're in a small town when the ER doc calls to see they can spend the night bc their @Airbnb decided no dogs allowed a/o tonight.

As transport wheels me down she tells us that if I hadn’t been assertive they’d keep me til 11:55pm!!!!! #Throughput #DischargeDreams
I go back to wait for the charge nurse to deaccess my port and deliver my papers. Transport was there on time though! #DischargeDreams

I then discover the holdup’s bc my RN didn’t know how to deaccess a port. So I had to wait 2hrs for charge RN to be free. #DischargeDreams
