I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yay good sex.

Yay indeed! Sorry about the storms and the insomnia, though.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Yay for good sex.

I'm up in a timely manner. Time to get dressed and slug through early morning traffic for the Dance Dept meetings. Love them dancers. They are easy on the eye, and they like warm temperatures... but these early morning meetings taint my view of them. Silly morning people.

I would like to state, for the record, that I'm ignoring the idiot advice nurse.

It turns out the oncology/hematology doctor who is supposed to be dealing with the mystery anemia is out this week. I had an incredibly annoying conversation with his advice nurse, who kept concentrating on the shortness of breath, not the joint pain, and insisted I should see a doctor today and have someone drive me. There are no appointments anywhere near me, so she wanted me to go to an urgent care place and wait. Then she keeps reading a list of urgent care facilities I could go to, revealing that she has absolutely no grasp of Atlanta geography.

The shortness of breath is the same as it's been for weeks. I've managed to go to the grocery store, Home Depot and other errands without passing out. It's the pain I need help with. Instead I get someone asking me five different times if I've had surgery and if I had a history of heart disease.

Also, one reason this thing was such a clusterfuck in the beginning was that I kept seeing different doctors. I'm going to get an appointment with my PCP this week so that at least there's not another doctor in the mix. I don't know what good it will do, but she can order a blood test.

I needed that yesterday, and it totally worked.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Geez Ginger. I get why she is concerned about shortness of breath tho even if you have been dealing with that for awhile.

Thing is, urgent care won't get you a colonoscopy right? So what is the point?

All I really want at this point is some damn pain pills so I can get through the no-NSAID period to the test Monday.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

How frustrating, Ginger. It sucks that you have to deal with the pain, the waiting AND the idiocy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I feel better! It's magic!

Ginger, how fucking annoying. I get why the nurse might be initially more concerned about the shortness of breath, but it would be way more helpful if she could be redirected away from that focus to the actual problem at hand. Can you not take Tylenol? That's not an NSAID. (I think. Don't trust me.)
