What happened to that guy (or group) who used to go around hitting people in the face with pies? I don't know if I've ever seen anyone more in need of a pie to the face than Ted Cruz.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, the pain psych might have had positive effect on the pain MD. Insurance needs me to have a nerve block first, l will do so. And my doctor's making sure his stuff is covered which is better than 2011. And then-- radio frequency ablation which is the only worky thing. Eventually.
Also, no crying. But running 90 minutes late at 9:30 is pretty awful.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
nothing as bad as real bad stuff, but boss at work just had the guy he was doing stuff with in the conference room go get lunch AND THEY DID NOT ASK ME IF I WANTED ANYTHING!!! Boss is running between the two of us doing different projects!
Sure I ate some warmed up oatmeal cause I was hungry and I get hollered at if I go for lunch before the guys who get in at 6am, but seriously, you don't the 3rd person working in the office. Asshats.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That sounds cautiously promising, ita.

Because books.
It does!
msbelle, that's just rude. Rude people suck.

And thoughtlessly jerky, msbelle.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Fingers crossed, ita.
Cash, I STRONGLY recommend that you drink lots of Gatorade/powerade kind of drinks to make sure you stay hydrated all the way through to tomorrow.
And msbelle, agree it's totally rude.
As for me, I'm in the hospital with my sister, who is getting a new chemo later today. I'm hoping it does what it's supposed to do this time.

Best of chemo to your sis, Burrell.
Apple support gave me back a computer with a blank drive ( happens) that I can't plug my power cord into (should not happen). Sigh.

Agree. Rude.
ita ! as you say promising. You may want to send your doctor an email thanking him for the productive meeting and (in the guise of praise) documenting everything he promised to do and the timeline. Ending by saying "I really appreciate your commitment to doing this in a timely fashion, and to keeping up better with the prescriptions." I know I'm being cynical but....
Then keep a record of the email however you best keep important records - from just being sure not to delete to putting it in a special folder and printing it out. Whatever works for you in that regard.
