I did order the hat, Jilli, and it relieves me that you approve of it.

It's a gorgeous hat. The pink & black mini top hat I wore at the f2f Prom was made by her.

Monday I start my statistics class.

Ack! Worked my ass off to get a C in Stats. A C! Ptui! We will speak of it no more!

Good luck to you both. I found it very interesting - just far from easy.

I got my epidural shot for my back today. It wasn't a painless procedure, but it wasn't dreadful. I'm still kind of tingling from it and I hope that it really kicks in at the 24-48 hour mark as they say it should.

My fingers are crossed for you. (Or maybe I should say -- my vertebrae are crossed for you....but that's just weird.)

Teppy, I love your OB-gyn! That sounds like a rockin' practice.

My doctor told me that one of the other docs in the practice actually just writes and signs an undated prescription for Plan B for any patient who wants to have the prescription on hand should she need it suddenly. Which I think is better than asshats who won't prescribe it at all.

My own doctor said she'd rather get paged at midnight on a Saturday night so she can call in the prescription, because that way she can follow up with the patient, which is, IMO, a very good thing.

one of the hardest things I've ever done...statistics class.

So... I'm the only freak who thought it was pretty easy? Not that I managed to retain as much as I'd like, but I still have the books, and I did do pretty danged well at it...

Other things that would shock people to realize I took to like a duck to water? Logic and weightlifting.

Have you told him?

Her, and yep. All told and done with. Turns out, if I work 1 day in July, I get benefits for the whole month. Whooo!

Make sure you steal something from the office every day until you leave.

Hee. Katie Bee is me!

I like that, too. It's medically thorough.

Steph, did you do the epidural shots? I'm a little sore and I'm wondering if that's normal. Which, d'uh, they stuck needles in my spine. I'm still dealing with a little soreness from the root canal, as well so I've just taken a pain pill.

I can see it, actually. Speaking of, how goes your running?

I didn't do the shots, because I was in so much pain I ended up in the hospital just to manage my pain levels with morphine. But it makes pretty much sense that you'd be sore. Hell, for 4-6 hours after I donate blood, my arm aches where the needle was inserted, so having a needle in your *spine* seems like it would make you sore.

Yay for new job, Aimee!

And extra big yay for no more radiation, Jen!

I just got back from getting my hair cut. I now have a choppy short shag which I think looks pretty good. I won't know until I wash the product out and let it air dry because it *never* like my hair when it's all salon-ed up. It's way wicked short, but what with it being in the 90s here every day, I think that's a good thing.

You know, sometimes, for whatever reason, I think, Tep had back pain, but the doctors fixed it and all is well now... and then I read something like:

and I realize again...OW.
