Trust my rage

Stephanie, if the rash is only on his butt and he has a fever and a runny nose, I don't think it's chicken pox. I would take him in to the doctor.

Yeah, I'm taking him tomorrow regardless. I just...want to know, but it doesn't change anything. He does have some small spots on his chest but they aren't pox at the moment.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh Stephanie, that's not fun for you or Sammy.

And ita, I am filled with rage on you behalf. I wish we could find a way to channel all this buffista rage productively towards some solution.

Because books.

I just...want to know, but it doesn't change anything.

If it's chicken pox, all you can do is treat the symptoms and make him as comfortable as possible anyway, but this way you'll know tomorrow if it's something else.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Oh, ita !, I just can't fathom it. WTF is wrong with these people.

And yeah, you need an advocate, damnit.

Me, I've been baking like a fiend: a two-layer carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, three loaves of pumpkin bread, and four holiday fruitcakes in the last 48 hours. In 3 minutes I need to go to the BBQ place and pick up enough ribs and chicken for 10 people, as well.

Oh, wait, and find a gift bag for my sister's present, fah.

Cross your fingers that my mother agrees to take her new meds today. Her new thing is second-guessing the psychiatrist's prescription, I suspect because he's Indian-born although I'm not sure (and won't ask). ::tears hair::

Trust my rage

I need people to talk more!

Sammy won't really let me do anything so I'm aimlessly killing time in the Internet. But I can't really watch or read anything in depth.

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

but can your neurologist send your prescription to an oncology infusion center

creative suggestion. I hope this (or something like it) can work for you.

supposedly when I was little I had chicken pox and it only showed up on my stomach and my scalp. mom has always worried that I didn't have enough exposure and that I would get it as an adult. I was around kids who got chicken pox in 6th grade and high school and nada.

so unless I am the most careful person in the world, the light reaction might mean you actually have chicken pox.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Me, I've been baking like a fiend:

  • Heat brimstone-fuelled oven to "Hellfire".
  • Pour devil's food cake into nonstick pan.
  • Sprinkle with desecrated coconut.
  • Bake for 1 hour.
  • AND THEN MY CAKE SHALL RISE!!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I like Ginger's idea a lot, even if it would eat up part of a weekday. Don't know what mountains you'd have to move to make it happen, though.
