Good nurse! Good news!
I'm glad you talked to her, Susan.
and happy that I finally got someone who didn't just handwave my concerns away.
Do you think we were handwaving? Because we said pretty much exactly what she said.
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

Ah, fuck.
Just had to call my mother to let her know an old friend of hers died yesterday. [link]
I'd read about him earlier in the week in the paper, but hadn't connected the name to her friend Andy until she was mentioning this morning that a mutual friend of theirs had told her day before yesterday that he was in hospital and given her the number to call him. I showed her the article this morning, before they found out he'd died.
She was going to call today.
Fuck. Poor guy. He wasn't very old.

So I was geting ready to do dinner (and then tackle the dishes) when I discover the water won't come on. I call the utility company and they are sending someone out within the hour.
With my housekeeping skills "within the hour" is frightning. Thank god for my giant closet. I just wish there was some place to hide all the dirty dishes I needed to get cleaned two days ago.

Would they fit in a paper bag in the closet?

Thanks, guys. It's just a bit of a shock to have to call my mother with bad news about a third party. Never had to do that before.
Jilli! You tagged it! Hee!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

No--I meant previous interactions with my pede and nurses at our clinic, relatives, etc.
I'm so sorry, Plei.
Cindy, I don't know any of those specialists, but my PCP rocks at diagnosis and referral, if you think a sensible, flexible medical gatekeeper who's a good listener would be of use to your friend.
