Looks like I'm going to the ER

So Joel is very worried my infection isn't getting any better and says that after our neurologist appointment he's taking me to the ER. So this is going to be great. I love the ER and don't struggle with there at all.

One thing you don't have to worry about in an ER is your tics. Just HAVE them when you have to have them, and the medical PROFESSIONALS there will understand that you can't help it.

@4meAndyou it's still a struggle. I make the nurse nervous. Of course if I'm in the bed I won't be able to pace much anyways.

@4meAndyou last time Joel was in the hospital we had to request a different nurse because the one was so annoyed by my pacing and anxiety that she was very rude to me. Poor Joel's trying to get better and he's having to defend me who's supposed to be there to support him

@Cigarguy Well, not even all doctors are kind. But the lack of professionalism is shocking to me.

@4meAndyou I am a lot to take in lol

@Cigarguy Maybe nurses are suffering from shell shock. You know...too much all the time? Perhaps it thins their psychic skin so they can't take too much more. Just trying to give the profession the benefit of the doubt.

@4meAndyou no I don't blame them. I would be worried by someone like me. They don't know if I'm in drugs or anything.

@4meAndyou lol you are so sweet. Joel took care of it though but I'm touched you would come defend me

4meAndyou · F

@Cigarguy I am so glad that Joel takes care of you. Did he explain to everyone, or did he complain to someone?

Guess what? The SW AI thinks you and I are fighting! 🤣🤣🤣

Cigarguy · M

@4meAndyou he had to do both. He told them as we got admitted but had to complain a little late because we had a rude nurse. She was refusing to start my IV because of my tics

@Cigarguy The AI for SW thinks we are fighting again. It's a little effed up. Anyway, thank GOD you have Joel on your team.

@4meAndyou lol yeah I noticed that 😁

He is my rock
