Hey Cindy, I was just thinking about you, listening to the Attorney General on the radio. If you have more issues with the insurance company, definitely call her office -- she has people to help with that stuff!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry Mr. S gets in his own way. You and G are heroes, every day.
What Beverly said. I'm sorry it is so frustrating and exhausting.
Also, very sorry it is so frustrating and exhausting for you and your son, Cindy.
My current life is a series of doctor visits, and not even for my job! So far I have appointments 5/26, 6/1, 6/4, 6/8, and 6/11 for various parts of my body. Sheesh. Looks like seizure meds at least for a while. They put me on one they promise won't make me flaky, so we'll see. Changing to Keto diet as the Neuro doc says it would be a good thing for me. Also taking the stupid statins because all the docs say yes my Cholesterol will drop like a rock when I lose weight, but best case is it takes a year for that to happen. Also looking at various tests and surgery for my annoying uterus. Fun times! Hoping to get it all done before end of June so I can go north. Doctor says no problem with me driving when I am ready to go. Bottom line, stuff not working like it should is unacceptable so doing whatever to fix it.

Happy to share tips and recipes from my high protein/no carb diet.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
That *is* a lot of doctoring, Laura, but we want you in tip-top shape!
Our sometimes yard guy is here making our backyard look less like something Indiana Jones might hack his way through and more like a hammock-friendly backyard. Apparently we have cicadas (no shit), spiders (ditto), and a black snake of unknown size.

We had a groundhog the other week. It would be too cool to have a nonpoisonous snake, though.

What is even happening?
Gastro called. Anti-TNF meds are probably off the table. He wants to confer with other gastros, check literature, follow up with the derm, etc., before deciding what treatment comes next.

Thank you, Jesse.
That's a whole lot, Laura.

No good can come of that unholy alliance.
Maybe Murderbiscuit will just eat the B.S.O.U.S.

Good luck with all that doctoring, Laura!
Good luck with all that nature, Steph.

Sorry C is having such a rough time of it Cindy. At least his bloodwork looking good is a consolation.
I forgot to mention that I took Mom up into the Ozarks for a few days in Eureka Springs. It was the first overnight vacation either of us have had in ages, and she enjoyed it even though we didn't do anything too taxing—just a lunch excursion in a railroad dining car, seeing Thorncrown Chapel, and touring some of the gift and jewelry shops downtown. After some mishaps with getting Friday dinner reservations Mom picked Gaskin's Steakhouse, which was new to me. They got her to try their mushroom soup, which I'd have never guessed she would have liked, but it was amazing. She got all worried about a cat we saw wandering around outside, but our waiter told us he's been there for twenty years, so that cat has lived a better life than either of us.
