I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My headache is tremendous, and I'd already taken my daily dose of triptans.

So I've ordered in Thai, will take a muscle relaxant, and maybe light some candles and try and calm the FUCK down.

He's now my ex physical therapist, which is a pisser, because he was good at the other stuff. But I've called and left a message cancelling my future appointments. I just can't deal with him right now.

Not that I was intending to, but if I wanted to commit suicide by krav? I'm 37--more than a big girl. I get to make choices about my health. ME.

I told the head instructor that the PT had broken the law, and he said he understood, but having heard all that he needs to talk to my neurologist before I can go back on active duty, so to speak.

So that's tomorrow.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Is ex-PT part of a practice, or covered by insurance?

While it sucks to have to find a new PT, there are other, good PTs who will not add to your headaches, pain, and stress. FEH.

How long is he going to be gone? Maybe you can come down for Shiok! or we could go somewhere for sushi this week.

He's back on Thursday at midnight. Unfortunately, I have my book club tomorrow night, and plans on Thursday. Friday we're going to Yosemite. I can't remember the calendar after that.

Is there some sort of governing body of the CPTA that fields patient complaints?

Except--I'm not going to do anything for a number of reasons. I want my krav back. Action against him won't make that happen. He wasn't just a PT--I considered him a friend. And it's something he'd call friendship that's making him do this. Fucking up the career of an ex-friend would be hard at the best of times. Right now? The mess I am already with the headaches? Not a chance. I'm too broken.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

not my normal way of reacting -- but I wopuld say it is lawyer time. That is what Hipaa is all about. And I am not sure the krav center should have listened to him. they should have hung up the phone . But that is another issue.

I don't want to push - but what is going to stop him next time? For someone else?

and if he was a friend, that makes his behavior worse.

I am so sorry.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

He's back on Thursday at midnight. Unfortunately, I have my book club tomorrow night, and plans on Thursday. Friday we're going to Yosemite. I can't remember the calendar after that.

Oh well, some other time.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Except--I'm not going to do anything for a number of reasons. I want my krav back. Action against him won't make that happen. He wasn't just a PT--I considered him a friend. And it's something he'd call friendship that's making him do this.
I really do understand your reasoning. Do you think saying something to him would click for him that what he did was wrong as a friend and especially as a PT? Unless that was that said or implied when you cancelled your appointments.

It's frustrating.

Kat, the spinach is wonderful. Thanks for the prompting.

ION, I am so my mother's daughter. Or she is her daughter's mother. Whichever led her to make scrambled eggs this morning, wash the dishes and put the clean pan back on the low burner. And then leave.

I just went to put the pot away and it is very hot but it was clean so nothing burned. My smoke detector is in place. She set it off with potatoes this morning but I am nothing if not vigilant in returning it to its rightful place. Sheesh.
