Definitely worth a consult, even if it's only to establish a baseline.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, you guys talked me into it. Thanks.

With you having a history of micro-strokes, I'd encourage a neurology check up.
Um, yeah, this. Especially if it's getting worse/more frequent/longer!!

I submitted a request for an appointment at my clinic. I'm not sure if I need to see my primary care physician first, as the website was confusing. Maybe I'll just call them.
eta: OK, got an appointment with a neurologist on Thursday, and my insurance company says I don't need a referral.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That's good, tommy. Hooray for not having to wait forever.
Not only were the elevators out at the doctor's office, but the overhead fluorescent lights were flickering. It was all related to some kind of power problem the area was having. I managed to keep my eyes closed most of the time, but I'm sure all of the people in the office are fighting off headaches.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Much ~ma to Consuela for a speedy recovery, and to Connie and DH for success on the next steps in the treatment.
And ~ma to tommyrot for neurologist appointment.
I just got my stitches taken out. Yay! Now to run errands for the house.

I'm supposed to have (very) minor surgery for a sebaceous cyst tomorrow. So minor there may not even be stitches.
Really, I'm just mentioning this because for once I'm being trendy.

Speedy recovery wishes, Consuela.
Props to tommyrot for scheduling an appointment!
Boo on the post-apocalyptic doctor's office, Dana.
I too have returned from vacation. It was really great to spend time with friends and not have anything to do for 5 days, but now I'm digging out my inbox and I have tons of errands to run because my flight got in so late last night. Tonight I need to go to the pharmacy for things my local pharmacy doesn't carry, go to my local pharmacy to pick up my Typhoid vaccine before it expires, get some groceries, and do laundry.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Health-ma to all of you.
I'm sitting in the airport waiting for my flight to board. Yesterday was a whirlwind of trying to prepare for the show I'm going to design, all the laundry, getting the house all ready for the cat sitter, and packing. This morning was a whirlwind of tech notes and advance prep at my regular job. I figured why not approach the production manager about the fact that I've been doing a job for six months without getting paid for it while my stress levels are up. So that's done.
And the last 2 days on FB have given me a whole new level of respect for women who have an Internet presence that seems to invite trolls. I may make more of an effort to make positive, supportive comments for them.
