ION- breathing specialist did the normal battery of tests. Does she not understand? Repeatedly yelling "BLOW!" does not magically make additional air appear in my lungs to exhale. Please stop yelling.

Heh, I would have been hard pressed not to yell "HOOKERS!" at some point in that situation.

The longest waits are in the treatment room for my doc, but if the other patients are like Hubby, Doc is dealing with chatty middle-aged men with lots of questions.

I'm still thinking about getting a new psychiatrist. The current one is barely acceptable and his office NEVER answers the phone or returns their voice mail, however, he gives me valium without a hassle. And the thought of telling my life story AGAIN to yet another mental health professional makes me tired just considering it. I wonder if it's possible to get over your issues simply by becoming bored with your own life story. "Abusive alcoholic father, codependent emotionally fragile mother, string of abusive relationships, yada yada, it's classic, you can write it yourself. Can we just move on to the medicine part? Here's what I need, thanks, and no, I don't want to talk about it anymore."

At 90 minutes, still no doc, but a fellow came in to pre-exam. Cute lady from Nigeria. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Doc finally came in after 1:45 of waiting. Now leaving 2 hours after appointment. They want me to do a sleep study. Blargh.

Much not cancer~ma to you, Typo Boy. I'm sorry they didn't get decent coverage on the anesthesia for you.

Geez, Typo, that sucks. Not-cancer-~ma!

Yikes Typo. Tons of ~ma your way.
