short answer: this is bullshit. time to go over someone's head.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with what is obviously a dreadful mess, Sox.
I feel like I'm the victim of some kind of horrible head-inflating experiment.
Whine, whine.
I've had a lifetime of bronchitis and some years of sinus infections. I don't like them, but I know how to cope with those. Somehow dealing with something unfamiliar is worse.
I keep telling myself that at least I don't have to get on a plane.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Nora, that's terrifying! Speedy and complete recovery to your poor friend, and your colleague too.
Stupid sinuses, Ginger! What are they for, anyway?

Buh? Sox, I doubt the problem is that you were confused...
I have had the unpleasant and rather painful ultrasound. I have fibroids. Which explains a lot. However, they are neither huge nor plentiful, so the doctor has recommended Mirena to control the pain and excessive bleeding. The upside of the IUD seems to be, no surgery, bonus birth control, and no periods (much). The downside is, it creeps me out. But it's better than not-really-necessary surgery, so I guess I'll get over my issues and do it.

I hope that it works for you, my sister in the fibroid.

I know, right? I have a call back coming in 15 minutes, and a house full of shrieking girls. this should be awesome. Dear Bank Tino: Make this right or I will feed you to the 2nd grade.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
The Mirena is awesomesauce. I haven't had a period in over 5 years.

Zenkitty,
I had laproscopic surgery to remove my fibroid. It was okay. But at the time, I just had the one and it was causing me a whole lot of distress. To be on vicodin AND ibuprofen every month along with the other complications was no fucking fun.

Thanks, all. I like the no-more-periods thing about the Mirena.

I have achieved Executive Office level of the game Banker Tino.
There was a fun moment where BankerTino's supervisor (he of the "this is very complex and hard to understand document language") said "ok, I'm going to give you the phone number of the executive office..." and I said "You're not going to hand me off to them?" and he said "oh, ok, I can do that."
The exec office CS person was kind, listened, took down my info and said she was going to see if they could generate a letter expunging the situation, or if I needed to write one first and they would then respond. I will hear from them in 48 hours.
