Hey, I got to a section where I don't need to check off anything! I have had none of these surgeries! I don't even know what a few of them are. What's T&A, other than in the "Dance 10, Looks 3" sense, because that can't be what they mean?

HA.

I'm trying to envision what not having a history of cholesterol would look like.

My options for "Sexually active?" are "Yes," "No," and "Not currently." Those are not mutually exclusive choices.

Seriously, who came up with this form? There's a section where you have to enter the names of all your immediate family members, and then check off whether any of them have a history of various things. One of the things on the list is "Adoption."

Hil, tonsillectomy & adenoidectomy.

Hil, tonsillectomy & adenoidectomy.

Thanks! (My doctor has told me that, if I was born a couple decades earlier, I would have had that done by the time I was about six, but when I was a kid, the general thought was "We've been removing too many tonsils for no reason, so let's stop doing that," and they wouldn't remove tonsils unless they got infected something like four times within a year, and I never had more than three times.)

It wants to know if I have "history of cholesterol"

Can you write in "I had a Denny's Moons Over My Hammy this morning"? Because I would.

Hah. That reminds me of when people enter abnormal lab values as adverse events in my studies. And instead of like, specifying that it's hypercholesterolemia or whatever, they just put "cholesterol" or "white blood cells" and I have to say "so, 'white blood cells' by themselves are not actually a PROBLEM?"

As someone who is adopted I actually appreciate it when this is listed as an option. I have to deal with far too many forms that ask all sorts of family medical history questions with no option to explain that I have no way of knowing, so I just end up drawing a big X through all of it and writing adopted across the whole thing.

I'm chilling and waiting for my second therapist appointment. I think today we talk about Tim, because I spent the entire first appointment talking about my family of drunks (which is a bit telling, no?).

Then at noon I get 2 fillings for my teeth of chalk. Then I will nap the nap of one who has righteously adulted.

Also, my level 2 improv class starts tonight, so that's a good.
