One Dumb One For The Road

Ok, I have one dumb 911 call to share before I go.

We got a call the other day because a person being committed to Coastal Behavioral Center was having lower abdomin pains. She had a little blood but nothing serious.

When she was checked out by their nurse, she was found to have inserted a good sized knife, unsheathed, into her vagina. She said she was going to use it to kill herself later. However, the knife had become embedded in her soft tissue from her walking and moving around.

Our rescue had a hell of a time getting her on the gurney because they were afraid the very sharp knife would pierce an organ or artery.

Now, I would say that woman was in dire need of some mental counseling – maybe even be committed for longer then the 72 hrs Coastal normally holds people.

I think I’m sick

I’ve been feeling more and more down the past few days and today I feel like I’m running a temperature. I wonder if I’ve been feeling down because I’m coming down with something? Hope not. Well, guess if I have a temp I must already have someething but hopefully nothing serious like my sister is going through.

I am at the library again – still no word on my internet. As soon as I get my income tax money back, I’m buying myself a damn laptop. Sick of this crap.

My counselor called saying I missed today’s meeting. I looked at my schedule and I have it down for tomorrow. I looked at her card and she wrote “wed” and “12/6″ on it so I guess we were both wrong. I went by the date when I stuck it in my calendar.

Baxter is feeling under the weather and I’m worried about him. I hate when my animals seem ill. I wonder if he stuck his head into a bush and got bit by something.

I was going to go to a movie today but decided not to. Somehow it doesn’t seem that important. Susan would disagree I know – she keeps telling me I need to do something for myself without worrying about the money. Whether I go to a movie, go get my hair done, or just take myself out to eat, she said it is all important to maintain my sanity. But I get tired of doing things by myself. I look forward to moving back to Iowa where I have a big selection of people I can do things with.
