OK, got rid of the coffee again

Hope I can stay rid of it. I was sick for several days and couldn't hold anything down, so didn't have any coffee anyway. Thought I'd start the day today with tea instead since I went through the coffee withdrawals already when I was sick and couldn't drink it.

I feel a bit sluggish but the tea is helping. Seems to be much easier on my stomach. I am starting with regular black tea and hope to eventually switch to mostly green tea. The coffee was really tearing up my tummy pretty badly, even Kona, my favorite.

Coffee does weird things to my head if I drink it any more than once a day.

For some strange reason, I only get the craving for coffee when I'm at work, not at home or anywhere else really...

I drink alot of both but switch it off. Coffe can be hard on the system and tea seems to be a bit more soothing. But god how I love the taste of coffee.

I actually don't really even like coffee except for Kona, but had been drinking it to wake up and keep going. It definitely is hard on the system. If I could just make myself go to bed at a decent hour it would help too. I get all fascinated by something and end up staying up and getting a few hours of sleep and reaching for the coffee and back to the cycle again.

If you see me with coffee in any form in my hands and actually drinking it, it is generally considered a very baaaad sign. Not as bad as answering the door to four men on horses asking, "Have you seen the end of times, dude?" but still, not good.

I usually prefer green tea, unsweetened, no milk.

That's sooo good for you. I want to wean myself off the sugar and cream eventually too.

I don't drink tea or coffee. I'm just here to give whatever support is required. :-)

Thanks and wow... .no coffee and no tea???!!! ahhhhh!

*puzzles how one makes it through the day without caffeine*

I understand that you are just doing the black tea now. One tea I like is called Tazo Joy. This one has black, green and oolong.

Thanks! I will try the Tazo too.

I'm awake today, oddly. I expected to be really sleepy, but so far so good!

    • ~~~~~ We received a letter about that a bit ago.  I know Corewell Health was included in the cyber attach as they were transitioning over from Beaumont Heath.
    • Excellent idea, since between your experience and Trene and Tron's ordeal they clearly aren't doing great things.   Also didn't Ascension just have a huge breach of their medical records because their cybersecurity department sucked?
    • ~~~~~ Yeah, a few years ago, Trene @Trene4000 had a seizure during an eye exam and the staff had to call an ambulance due to protocol even though she was just about to come out of it.  The ambulance crew arrived and caused her to relapse into another seizure and I ended up kicking everyone out of the room except for the one guy who seemed to have the most sense.  They stabilized her and then rushed to Ascension Macomb - Oakland Hospital, Warren Campus.   I followed shortly and no one would confirm if she was there or not.  I pointed out the ambulance she had just arrived in and they said I couldn't be in the ambulance entrance area.  So I went over to the other entrance and walked back over to the ambulance receiving area and this time they were able to speak to me because I was now on the correct side of the receptionist desk.     They told me to take a seat and they would let me in after they confirmed if an ambulance arrived with her in it.  Fortunately for me, the janitor watched everything that happened and when the lady left the desk 15 minutes later, he opened the door and let me in, told me where to go and said they always do that because they don't want to be bothered.   I did find her, already hooked up in an observation room and I stayed with her for over an hour.  Then I stated I was going to go to the cafeteria to grab some food and get her something for when they release her in 45 minutes (as we were told).  She was awake and aware and said ok.  However, by the time I got back 25 minutes later, she was zoned and moving in slow motion.  Her eyes kept rolling up into her head.   I flagged down a doctor and asked what happened to her because she was just fine.  Turns out they gave her some medication that they shouldn't have (because they didn't check her medical history) and she ended up having an allergic reaction, but whoever administered it didn't stay around long enough to "observe" her in the observation room.  I told them that she had severe reactions to certain things and they ended up giving her a counter medication and we then had to wait another 90 minutes for it to safely get out of her system.  Then she was discharged 25 minutes later.   I wanted to sue everyone who was involved in her "care".  I had told them that I was her legal guardian and that I MUST be informed of any medical treatment she received and no one spoke to me about anything, so they waited until I left the room and took matters into their own hands.  The fact that they were informed and didn't care is what still bothers me to this day so I panic whenever one of her doctors suggest an Ascension hospital for any of her procedures. 😬
