Toxic

With Lynda on afternoon shift this week I was surprised to get a call from her at dinnertime yesterday asking that I come pick her up and bring her home. She had a sudden violent onset of food poisoning from leftovers brought in by a friend of hers. Lynda works in a hospital but had to be convinced when I got there to pay a visit to the emerg dept - 'They call it POISONING for a reason you know!'

Because of the nature of the complaint (and maybe because she is staff) she was put in a Rapid Assessment Pod and checked out pretty promptly. All said and done we made it home around 10 p.m. complete with a couple of scripts from the pharmacy for the nausea and pain. She was all set to return to work today until I pointed out she looked like she had been through the war.... and how about a day to get back to normal??? Taking it easy for the day; nothing more taxing that picking up her car at work. That and cooking some light, bland food for lunch and dinner.

I proposed a new nickname for her friend.... how about 'Killer Cook'??
