Jesus Christ! I cannot turn my back today. I took my eyes off of her for just a few minutes and she gouged her belly with the stabby thing from her glucose test kit. The lancet - that's it. The lancet.
Earlier (today) she'd done the same thing with a bobby pin.
(This is all before noon, btw.)
I admit that i have not hidden the bobby pins and it is intentional. "Cathy" always seems to go for them because they're handy. She'll use whatever's around, so i've tried my best to hide things like knives, scissors, screwdrivers, tape dispensers, etc. In fact, i really wish i knew where i put some of that shit, actually. Bobby pins are rarely lethal. I prefer she not have to improvise, because i cannot possibly predict what she might come up with to use.
I am still waiting to hear back from Dr. C. If i take her to the hospital, they will keep her for a few days. Maybe that's what she needs, but we've already done that and it turned out to be more of a negative experience than we would have liked. Not that we were expecting it to be enjoyable.
Note to self: write about that at some point.
