I now have an appointment Friday at the hospital, which, unlike Kaiser, requires someone to drive me. It's ridiculous, since it's a simple procedure that uses local anesthesia. It's like requiring a driver for dental work. My neighbor who is so good about driving me can't do it because she has company. Now I have to ask other people. I hate asking for help, and my best friend here lives another 20 miles in the other direction.

I'm sorry, Ginger. I wish you had one of us nearby.

Ginger - asking for help allows those friends of yours, who may want to help but don't know what to do, a solid thing that ends up helping you both.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Ow. Having a pretty bad pain day, and I ran out of painkillers, and I'm not seeing the doctor until Thursday. I took Advil, which is doing pretty much nothing. And I just realized that I need to get to campus a little early tomorrow, because I was stupid and didn't make enough copies of the worksheet that I'm having my students do tomorrow.

Our wings are not tired.
Ginger, I am sorry you have to wait until Friday now for some relief. Also, what sj and SuziQ said.
Hil, might it be possible for your doctor to call in a couple days worth of painkillers since you have an appointment?

I'm so sorry, Hil. I hope you find some relief.
I'm having some minor pain issues this morning because it's raining pretty hard.

Thrive to spite them
I was at work doing okay until I turned and my foot didn't. They could hear me at the front of the store. It's not horrible pain but I called and got an appointment today instead of next week.
I'm getting nervous anxious thoughts about going to the doctor but I know why I'm feeling this. Instead of in the past when I'd get all kinds of anxiety thoughts and not understand why.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Except Spike doesn't work day, does he?
Sure he does. Have blanket, will travel.

That sucks, Ginger. I'm sorry.
