@sufferlandrian, maybe you can write a book! Lots of people would laugh at that, even if the review board wouldn't appreciate it much!0

I'm petty sure most of us could write a book with the title "I Can't Make This *kitten* Up; Things I Heard On The Job"
It'd be a bestseller

Bethanie, I do believe you are correct.

I'm always worried about a dog when the owner is wanting you to examine it but they are backing around the counter like they are going to use it for cover then the dog comes unglued. Thank goodness for sedatives. Better living through pharmacology.0

So on Wednesday, I was off and feeling okay. Tired, but okay. I spent the day with my mom(who is permanently back from Dallas
), we ran around running some errands and I got my hair cut EVEN SHORTER! I love it. But with product in my hair, I fall asleep, and wake up looking like an angry cockatoo.
Thursday, I felt like poop. I ended up developing a fever and I threw up at one point. I got the chas(diarrhea) and all I did was lay around and watch movies with my mom. Gym time cancelled and I just lay around all day being a good for nothing.
I feel a BUNCH better today, but I still feel kind of run down and tired.
SSP bought me a shirt while he was on his way back from New York. He got it in Pennsylvania. Hershey, Pennsylvania!
Hoping this night passes quickly and then I can pass out in my bed when I get home.
My doctor called me regarding my ultrasound results and said "I know you work nights, but could you TRY cutting back on caffeine and see if that helps?"
I'm down to 2 cups of coffee a day instead of my usual 4-6 and that has helped TREMENDOUSLY with the breast pain. So is a certain doctor/vet/friend could explain this ( @sufferlandrian *cough cough*), it would be very much appreciated.
Down to 2 cups a day is rough, but I've found that if I stay hydrated and time it properly I do pretty well.
That's all from me.
ETA: Yes, @sufferlandrian, I AM too lazy to Google...0 -
@lilaclovebird - Not sure I can help you on that one. Pets aren't big caffeine consumers so I'm not sure what the connection there is. The only guess I would have is the same reason it helps with headaches. If I remember correctly, caffeine causes blood vessels to dilate. Although that increased blood flow to a headache, it would make the breasts retain more fluid causing them to hurt. I don't know for sure. I'll have to look that one up.0

Then SOMEONE explain Liam's energy! Little pup is driving us batty!
He finally has an appointment to get neutered!
Also, uhm...do dogs have wet dreams?
Serious question....0 -
No. What they have are dreams where the parasympathetic nervous system causes erections like when they are dreaming about food. These can lead to discharge from the bulbourethral gland but it's not the same as a wet dream.0

@lilaclovebird My dr recommended to me at one point to cut the caffeine bc it'd help reduce fibroids in my breasts. I have no idea what the connection is but you aren't the only one who's been told. And I love your hair
And yay, I'm not alone! I'll be here till Monday morning as well.
So I just did a full on arm workout with dumbbells and a medicine ball. I have no idea how I'm going to do my hair when I wake up. It's wash day so I have to wash and dry a lot of hair; and I'm not completely sure I'll be able to lift my arms above my head 0 -

I've heard of the headaches thing and a quick Google search says it's related to the blood vessels @sufferlandrian mentions. Another page I read up on talked about a research study where they had participants cut down on the caffeine consumption and 61% noticed the pain lessen. Caffeine apparently contains a chemical called methylxanthine that causes blood vessels to dilate.0 -

Me me me! I'll be busy with currently the only one working weekends after the most recent hire didn't work out.0 -
I LOVE you guys! Ya'll are so helpful.
ETA: I Googled and I need to stick to my current max of 2 cups of coffee a day.
I plan on incorporating more fiber as well since that is a thing too. 0 -
I'm not a coffee drinker, but if I had to cut back on my energy drinks, it would KILL me! I have cut back on quite a bit of caffeine though since I got another vet working. Starting in April I'll have another part time vet. I'm not going to know what to do with myself! 0

@sufferlandrian That is a wonderful problem to have
I bet your family will be happy to have you around more too.
I had to quite caffeine last August and haven't looked back. The most I get is from a cup of green tea at work. It was rough for about a month. I still get a hankering for my sugar free red bulls every once in a while.0 -
I just spent two weeks without caffeine and didn't miss it but if I run into a long weekend you can bet I'll be sucking it down. 0

I had to cut back on the caffeine lately because I realized it was contributing to my sleep problems. I don't drink much coffee, but I still get plenty!0

I only get my 2 cups, but when if I time it right, I sleep okay and I wake up and do it all over again!0 -
Fun little site http://www.caffeineinformer.com/death-by-caffeine
by no means is it medical advice but for those curious, how much caffeine do you need to down in a day for it to potentially kill you.0 -

Oh SNAP!
I was drinking damn near 3 times what I should be allowed!
69.1, 8oz cups and I'd be a goner. :laugh:0 -
Okay my night shift peeps, funny story.... So... here was was pulling in my driveway yesterday morning and I remember that my better half had had told me at the beginning of my shift that the garage door was not working and she had parked outside. Me being who I am, of course I had to try the remote. No joy, the dang thing will no go up and appears to have buckled. Right about then, I remember that I had given my house key to our neighbors the last time I went out of town, and I had not retrieved it yet. Since it was the wee hours of the morning, I was not going to go pounding on the neighbors door, and unfortunately the wife had already left for work. What is a guy to do? Well I will tell you what, insert NSV and I crawled through the doggy door. Of course the dogs were thrilled that dad decided to get down to their level first thing thing in the morning. I could not have done this 8 months ago. Thank you MFP!0
