Home from the doc and my iron treatment has been postponed until I talk with my hematologist next week.

For now the diagnosis is vertigo. I have some meds to try and I'm not supposed to drive until I get used to the meds and the vertigo goes away. If the meds don't do it, I go back and get a neuro referral. Oh joy. Now to read up on vertigo...

No driving. How does that work?

K-Bug starts carting you around like you did for her the first 17 years?

Lots of ~ma this gets cleared up soon, Suzi!

Mostly lurking...

Oh, ugh, Suzi. I'm sorry, you. JenK had really bad vertigo once. I remember that. It was awful.

I just got off a phone call that has me seething mad. I cannot believe the audacity of some people. You call yourself a Christian. You call yourself my friend. And then you act like neither. It's just all about you and YOUR needs.

Um. I might be angry.

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

I just have large alone-needs.

Trust my rage

First, thanks to everyone for the encouragement. I have a meeting with an attorney tomorrow so I hope that goes well. She was *realy* excited to talk to me, which made me feel positive. And I got some good suggestions/tips over in LJ.

I'm glad to hear that Kelly Kapoor has some possibilities.

The following conversation I offer without comment. (But background first - my SIL, about 24, had a major eating disorder and MIL and FIL spent probably around $15-$20 getting her treatment.)

Last night, FIL mentions my nieces who visited them over the summer. He refers to the 3 year-old as "Gordis" which I think could best be translated as "fatty". DH asked why he called her that and FIL said, "Well, you know she's sort of heavy."

Dude, she's THREE FUCKING YEARS OLD! (Sorry, guess I had to comment after all.)

Punishingly Intricate

I was supposed to go to Greensboro (NC) to see a best friend's new baby

Are you in NC? Whereabouts? (I went to grad school in G'boro and have my brother & family are in Raleigh.)

"Well, you know she's sort of heavy."

Ouch. Is he the type of person that can be set straight?

A professor here really, really needs to be taken down a peg. Dear Asshole, No, I actually don't work FOR you. If you learn some manners I might work WITH you.

I'm in VA (Roanoke specifically) but have people all over NC having worked at a summer camp for a few summers years ago. I tend to pop down on an as-can basis to see them

Whomp him with a cluestick. Might help, will definitely be fun.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

For the unappreciated librarians, from James Lee Burke's latest:

"Then I used the most valuable and unlauded investigative resource in the United States, the lowly reference librarian. Their salaries are wretched and they receive credit for nothing. Their desks are usually tucked away in the stacks or in a remote corner where they have to shush noisy high school students or put up with street people blowing wine in their faces or snoring in the stuffed chairs. But their ability to find obscure information is remarkable and they persevere like Spartans."
