Yay, Stephanie!
Fingers crossed that the side effect continues and your regular doctor finds a way to work the new med in, sj. No pain for two days is splendid.
eta: Jess, I hear Tep is now officially healthier than Dick Cheney, and pretty soon she's gonna be all sugared up on ice cream and ready to go on a punchintheface rampage, if needed.
{{{Jessica}}} I'm sorry. I hope you know that this is a safe place to honestly talk about how you are feeling whenever you want/need to.
Stephanie, congratulations!
Also, getting feelings hurt is not the same thing as being offended.
javachik, I saw you added this after I read it, and I wanted to say this is also a very good point. Important distinction, I think.
Thanks, sj. I'm actually doing really well, considering. (And I really don't want to hijack the thread because if *I'm* this sick of talking about myself, I can only imagine how the rest of you must feel!)
Mostly it's people I only ever see at the water cooler - I'm guessing most of them don't realize I was pregnant the last time we bumped into each other, and "Hey, how ya doing?" is, under most circumstances, a perfectly cromulent greeting.
a perfectly cromulent greeting.
Yeah, but it can acribbitz your irritation, too.
Tep, on your most fucked day, ever, you're always healthier than him.
Shit I didn't Say:
Dear Feminist-Allied Man:
Do NOT try to out-feminist me if you don't want me having thoughts like "You run the fuckin' world, and we can't have ONE thread without somebody asking about guys and its effect on guys and what about feminist guys...good for you. Here's your cookie. Now sit back and look pretty."
You're tiring...are you sure you're not secretly Glenn Greenwald? Because my head hurts when I read him too.
Argh...
we can't have ONE thread without somebody asking about guys and its effect on guys and what about feminist guys
"But what about the MENNNNNNNNNNNNZ?!?"
Yeah. Hate that.
