Doctors, doctors, doctors
I feel like I should be given my own room in their offices, I am spending so much time there! :P On Friday, I took Kristin to see Dr. B. This morning, Heidi and I had an appt with Dr. R and then, this afternoon, with Dr. B. When we are not losing our minds, we are suffering from sinus infections.
In a couple of weeks, I have to see Dr. Atlas again, the spinal guy. I also need to see the fibromyalgia doc again next month. I'll need PT soon for my back. I need to take Heidi to a surgeon for a fatty tumor in her leg and to the endocrinologist for a possible thyroid problem. Kristin needs to go to the orthodontist. I need to go back to the OBGYN, need a mammogram AND she wants me to get one of those colonoscopies.
No wonder a lot of these doctors have stopped wearing white coats!
1. Carnival of the Cats posted, a one year anniversary for them here. I found myself feeling grumpy for the criticism of Mouse's name. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm overly sensitive, I know. For the record, Mouse came to us with that name. We didn't change it because she'd been living with it for over a year and, besides, we thought it was kind of cute!
2. I realize two things from the Terry Schiavo case: make a living will! The second thing is, when you are in a vegetative state you won't be mad at your family for what they are unable to bring themselves to do
3. People are really uncomfortable talking about that stuff (getting sick, dying) probably because it reminds us of our mortality
4. Everyone still has a cold, a sinus infection or some sort of plague. Hurry up, spring!
5. Stephen King is coming out with a new book!
6. The soft collar helps but is uncomfortable to wear!
7. How can a young woman and a baby sleep so freaking many hours of the day?
8. I could probably eat Chinese food every day for a year before I got sick of it!
9. Rainy Sundays at home are very relaxing
10. It's nice to have a kid who can drive a car ... especially when the movies are 20 minutes away and I don't feel like going but the kids do
11. I never heard of a hero called Constantine but apparently he's been a comic book character for a while
12. I'm sick of visiting doctors' offices!
