EGD (Gastrointestinal)

I am not asking for medical advice.
I’m just wondering if it is normal for a colonoscopy to be done at the same time as an upper endoscopy. If so shouldn’t the patient be informed well in advance?

Hello…it’s me

I thought of you several times today,even though I try so hard not to. There’s an ache in my chest that stabs me at odd hours,flashbacks and memories I try to ignore. I really wish I didn’t reopen the door.

Dear Andres,

I hope you never read this but if you do ,please
Know that I still love you
You probably don’t care, you simply used me to fill a void
Left me hanging once you got bored

Before you say that I'm not enough
I'm trying to find the heart I lost
I'm trying to be who I once was

I hate that I fell for you
I hurt myself by loving you
Once more I’ve lost pieces of me
I’ve become someone I don’t recognize

There are nights that I can’t breathe, I gasp for air, scream for help but no one’s there
I did what you asked…
He/she nearly killed me
I lost 10 pounds involuntarily
I’m still recovering from it all
I deleted our pictures, our messages and your number

I got rid of almost everything that reminds me of you
Especially the clothes I wore each time we hung out
I couldn’t get rid of the ultrasound pictures,the memories from June 6th at Luis’s places, those memories from May 23rd in the car.

I hate myself for holding on to them
I hate that I can’t forget you yet
I hate the day we met
I lost myself in loving you
I’m moving soon. This is goodbye

What can I do about a colleague who harasses me, if management does nothing?

She’s an older woman and we work for a religious organization. Everyone tip toes around her to avoid conflict but the past few days have been hell! It’s like she doesn’t take her meds and just lashes out at any and everyone then plays the victim and literally cries to the higher ups that she’s being mistreated. They almost always believe her, give her a hug and tell her all is well. I want to file a police report because I no longer feel safe, recently she got in my face because she THOUGHT I had my phone recording her outburst when at that time I did not! Anyway it got so bad that I literally had to hide behind another colleague to get away from her. I genuinely fear for my safety.
