Then, whatever happened to you, isn't bad enough. Try again!
Bingo??? Be okay.
Here you go -
@KDemo Thanks! That helped a lot
Are you in restraints? Just curious...
@PocketBrain Sadly, no. :(
Ha. I also forgot about the fact that I wore my new Mediocre socks
@Bingo Dammit it's not showing the image but I have my Mediocre socks on
@Bingo fixed!
@JonT Thanks!
@JonT I do have to say it was amusing to be in a room all night where lots of people were constantly in and out for which their first sight was feet clad in Mediocre.com socks. Spawned several fun conversations.
@Bingo Are the socks black and white, or are they navy and gray?
@TaRDy gray and black
I like purple.
You have an eMEHrgency?
I love that this question was asked by @defibrillator.
@jqubed @defibrillator Right? This question wins the thread.
Where the hell are you that they put Staff white boards in ER rooms? That is for proper Hospital rooms.
Source: EMT with an ambulance agency.
@Saffer49 They think it's a pulmonary embolism so maybe I'm in a special room?
@Bingo Are you in an ICU(Intensive Care Unit)? That would make more sense given your potential dx and would explain the sign.
@Bingo P.S. I really hope it's not a PE I've seen far too many time the damage those can bring about. Did they find it by accident? Because if you had a stroke you should be resting mister! :)
@Saffer49 Maybe it's part of a recent trend? The newly redone ER I had to bring my son to a few times last year had these boards up in every room. I'd never seen them before that.
@Saffer49 Chest pain when breathing? I'm assuming they did a CTA. Results?
@cinoclav Turns out no PE. Yay. Still don't know what's been causing the huge pain in that part of my chest but I do have pneumonia on the other side. So I still win something I guess.
@Bingo Here's hoping we get a 2-for-Tuesday on refurb inhalers soon. Hope you mend quickly.
@Saffer49 They put the white boards in our local ER rooms, too. We have a small, but well run hospital.
@Bingo what I thought was a PE or heart attack was pleurisy and double pneumonia
Here's me with my socks.
@Bingo - You'll be okay. I think the drugs are kicking in now.
Hope you are feeling better soon, @Bingo.
Heal up, sucker!
Thanks errybody. And the point of this was to be silly more than anything. I'll be fine
F U MAN! System lost my click for Sunday. Streak broken....=( I showed up and it STILL didn't matter. Ask them for the real hardcore badass drugs!
Get well @bingo
Like a boss. :D
Don't die bro.. That'd kill your streak...
(bah-dum-tss)
Get better soon!
Oh, man, Bingo, I hope you get out soon. I hope it's nothing too horrible. Who's taking care of Farmer? You know, your dog?
Nice socks.
@lisaviolet Thanks! Luckily they kicked me loose in time to take care of Farmer.
@lisaviolet Holy cow, that hurts my eyes haha
@Bingo I found a game you can play while you're in there:
@MEHcus Hahahahaha! That's fantastic.Can you make that into a 6x6 playable floor mat and sell it?
Hope you're out of there and feeling better fast, @Bingo!
@Thumperchick Thanks. Home now exhausted but not dying. Yay.
@Bingo Glad to hear you are home now! Rest up and don't miss the easy Meh button click for today.
Yes, no excuses! I was overnight at the hospital 3 weeks ago for spinal fusion. Apparently the oxycodone and dilaudid cocktail had me buying Belkin keyboards for a tablet I don't own during the night.
@jaremelz OMG, dilaudid...they gave me that when my gallbladder was attempting to end my life (at least it felt like that). I kept thinking I probably looked like one of those drug addicts under the influence on an episode of Intervention.
@lisaviolet Yes, we decided no more dilaudid after I woke my husband up at 3am trying to open a bag of fritos and talking about Kanye West giving people make up tips at a nearby rest area. It was a hot pack and thankfully, Yeezus was nowhere in sight.
@jaremelz Holy crap that's hilarious. Our bodies do weird things when hopped up. Was in the hospital last year with my dad. He was loopy from anesthesia and at one point he looks at me and points to the other side of the room and says "That's so cool. Where did all those native american dancers come from?'
@jaremelz That is so funny!
@Bingo Ha! My mom freaked out once and thought her toes were removed instead of a calcium stone from her jaw. Every damn time we showed her they were still there she'd get so happy. As soon as we covered them back up, she'd freak again.
And I'm glad to hear it wasn't a pe. Had one 3 years ago out of the blue and it sucks. Aren't we too young for this crap?
Can still click meh.
@jaremelz No matter how wierd dilaudid can make you feel I sure blessed it after breast cancer free tram reconstructive surgery. Worked way the heck better than anything else they offered.
@jaremelz but Beyonce is the best of all time
@Squid_07 Hold on, Imma let you finish, but first I need to click meh on today's item.
Patron anjeo margaritas, fresh tortilla chips and rocket hot salsa or picante sauce will cure most ailments.
Take good care of yourself and be well soon!
You're in a hospital, what else is there to do? Now if you were on a vacation in a nice tropical or remote location and you hit the Meh button that is impressive.
But in all seriousness, hope you get well soon.
