Moderators, I cannot speak for other Dopers, but OpalCat is scaring the crap out of me. Please see her “PunditLisa” thread in the Pit.

Do you guys know more about where she is than we do? Phone number? Address? If so, PLEASE CALL EMERGENCY SERVICES IN HER CITY. She is hurting herself and requires medical attention.

Thanks for the notice, it had been brought to our attention . . . some intervention is hopefully on the way.

We all hope and pray for Opal’s speedy recovery.

Just heard from UndeadDude, he’s home and getting ahold of the doctor.

It’s her meds, he says.

In any event, I hope and pray Opal is better soon.

Thanks so much for intervening, **Tuba**.

I wasn’t sure if this was the appropriate place to post the OP, but it was the first place I thought of when confronted with that emergency.

My heart goes out to **Opal** and her family. Be well.
