Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

What I didn't need today is for my PCP to question my OB's decisions and freak me out. She thinks the glyburide I'm taking for my GD is dangerous for ltc.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'd trust your OB to have greater and more current knowledge on what drugs are safe during pregnancy. It used to be thought that glyburide wasn't ideal for GD, but more recent tests show that it either doesn't cross the placental barrier at all, or only minimally crosses it, and it's generally regarded as just as safe as insulin.

I would agree that most moms I know say you you don't use all the stuff on he lists. Can I get some no surprises -ma for the dental cleaning today? I used to take it in some stride, but sometimes there are situations I don't know I have and it's stressful.Thanks.

Thanks Teppy. I was i no way expecting you to respond to that. I'll discuss it with my OB at my next appointment just because my PCP seems to think I should go off of it a few weeks before ltc is born.

Thrive to spite them

So I dropped my chromebook but it seemed to survive.

The private room that opened up has been given to someone else. Which, I think means, if there's another admit I'll get a roommate and I don't know if I can deal with that.

I want to talk to my nurse or social worker or someone but I can't because they are on shift change and it's just. I know I'm not the most important person here and I still have a place to myself but I've been stating since Saturday how important this is to me and it doesn't feel like it's been taken seriously.

I'm sorry, askye. I hope you can talk to someone soon.

I'm home. I should have done errands, but ltc is attacking my back. I have four doctor's appointments next week. I'm reserving Tuesday for mainlining television.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Things which are not terribly motivating: seeing new job postings for positions that I applied to months ago and never even got an interview.

Thrive to spite them

I am being an anxiety ridden drama queen. At least that's what it feels like.

Also I have to give another urine sample becaue they left mine to sit too long earlier.

Saw the psychiatrist and resident also the social worker today.

Conversation with social worker went something like - disability is an option, it's not a great option, you'll probably get denied, you need documentation and lots of it, but you should get more info, just incase.

Psychiatrist is like -disability is not a good fit (in her opinion) I just need to go back to work and learn how to manage my anxiety and it will get better. Also she doesn't think I need any program post hospitalization except the therapy I was planning on doing.

Not really sure what to think. I'm staying in my room tonight May eat in here.

Hil it sucks the jobs are back up -- can you reapply? Do you want to reapply?

Universe -Hil needs an awesome job, give her one!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Lots of people get denied disability and have to appeal. There are lawyers who can help you with that if you go that route.
