She called me yesterday and I couldn't understand a single word coming from her. Between sobs, all I could make out was "archen" and "janus" and something about the vampire game, kidneys and blood. I didn't think much of it, she's always breaking down like that and crying on the phone or crying herself to sleep which really pisses me off cuz there's nothing for me to do to comfort her. She tries to fake it lots of times, I ain't stupid. She thinks she can fool me but I learned not to ask anymore cuz she'll tell me eventually. She pretends everything is fine, she puts on a smile and when no one's around she sulks. I don't get it!

Last night was hell. Call me shallow but I just wanted to watch the fucking 49er game on tv. I had to play damage control again and sort things out for her. I don't know why she was upset, I just know that I want to make it right for her. She doesn't need any of that shit she has her own problems to deal with. I can't keep the assholes away from her, I can't put some sort of filter so that all she deals with are the people who make her feel good. That ain't my department anyway. I can't protect her all her life.

She went into surgery they wouldn't tell me much cuz I ain't family even though her family consider me part of theirs. Later there were problems with her. It felt like one fucking blur and I just wanted to punch a hole right through the concrete slab.

She went into seizure--anaphylactic shock caused by some adverse reaction to the drug they gave her, something that caused her to be allergic to. It was fucking hell for everyone there. I had to leave cuz I felt pissed that I can't do shit about it.

I dropped by this morning, they said she's fine but no one's allowed to see her unless they're family. WTF??? I'm the closest thing she's got to a fucking family!! I'm her fucking brother!! I'll go back later after I take my son to a movie, he wanted me to buy some shit for him.

I gotta go now.

Draven,

That's when you tell them you are her brother and that's all they need to know. My brother died in March, and he was in ICU which is family only. I had the closest thing he ever had to a wife come and visit him. She never married him, and no she wasn't related, but they didn't have to know that. So if there's a question with it, she was adopted.

If I were out there, I'd get in.. one way or another. But then I'm a sneaky little shit.

Give her my love and tell her I'm thinking of her and I got her card today. My heart breaks that this is happening to her.

hey again, glad we talked last night on AIM. I just got back from seeing her today, told her that you said "hi and no appointments!" She's pretty out of it, think it's the meds she's on but she nodded when I told her that then went back to sleep.

I really hope you'll post here as soon as you know how Anna's doing. I'm worried about the girl. Please tell her Brent (aka Andronicus) says "stay healthy and be kinder to yourself or I'll get pissed off at the planet and do something we all regret."

And Red is right (hi, Red): you can usually just tell hospital staff some bullshit about being someone's family, even ridiculously distant and unprovable shit like "Hey, jackhole, I'm her goddamn cousin from her mom's second husband and we're really close. Now let me see my cousin!"

People have too much fear of doctors and nurses. They seem to give the medical community way too much leeway when it comes to controlling other people's time and actions. Most medical staff are decent, thoughtful people, but some are so convinced of their own power to enforce their silly little "policies" that they can get really stubborn. Don't let them intimidate you.

*laughs @ "jackhole"*

Bah @ power tripping med staff! Just the kind of dipshits I avoid and try to have very little contact with. Damned interns and physician assistants working the late shift prolly sneaking in swigs of whiskey while jerking off in the janitor's closet--worthless scraps of frogshit with a pulse and a bit of authority! Pah!!

Doesn't matter now tho-- Ronnie took me with him told them that I was family then later Matt and his mom took me with them and told the staff that I'm Anna's adopted brother so now I don't have any problems seeing her. I didn't want to make a scene about that but it pissed me off to no end.

Thanx man, I'm yet to gather enough courage to challenge you at another game of chess.

Hello Voodoochylde. I was speaking with Anna just prior to her leaving for the hospital. It's a little late now but I didn't know if it was important until just reading your post. (followed your link from LiS) Sorry I'm rambling.

The point I am trying to make is that Anna told me she had Taken 2 vicodin for the pain, I hope that didn't contribute to the allergic reaction.

I've been worried since I spoke with Anna, and I thank you for the update. Would you let her know that Drew is sending his best thoughts and wishes her the best in her recovery. If you could do that it would be much apreciated.

Ah, so *you're* Drew!

Anna called me prior to talking to you, she was bawling on the phone and I tried to calm her down which eventually worked, got her to drink some tea cuz she was sobbing so much that she was losing her voice. Her throat hasn't completely healed from last surgery when they shoved that breathing tube down her throat. She calmed down some soon we were making plans for her kid's bday party and other crap that we're supposed to do for the kids this weekend--sunday to be exact. Got off the phone cuz she said that she wanted to lie down cuz she took a few pills for pain.

I was on the phone with Anna just right after you got off the phone with her. I called to check in on her, see if she's feeling better and if she needed a ride to work, she said that Matt was there. She told me that she may need a ride to the ER tho cuz she wasn't feeling good.

She said that she just got off the phone with Drew ((now I know who she's talking about)) and told me that she's cheered up some but was still in a lot of pain then told me that she took another vicodin for it. She told me that she had made an appt. to see her doctor in the morning but then she said she might not go, she wanted to lie down to see if that'd help and if it didn't she'll ask Matt to take her to the ER so I hung up thinking she's gonna be ok.

Dunno what was said but Matt was there all ready to take her to get everything taken care of but he then left to pick up something at the drug store for her, my guess is she told him that she'll be ok, that she's just gonna lie down put the heating pad on and all that shit. When he got back about 45 minutes later, she was a mess so he took her to the ER.

I'll pass the message to her and thanks for your help!
