Though I dunno, maybe I should have stayed home. All my labs look OK (the ED doc showed them to me), my EKG was totally normal, my chest x ray looks fine, and my COVID results will come back tomorrow. Now I feel a little stupid—could have waited it out a little longer and saved $100 (that’s how much my copay is for an ED visit).

Well, it's better to be safe if the symptoms weren't going away. Glad everything looked fine (and hope Covid is negative).

My back pain seems to be spreading down my legs and making it hard to walk.

Yep!! Here's some. It was a neat place!! It's like a small old western town and each of the usual 'businesses' is a themed guest room. We stayed in the Blacksmith, had a bunch of horseshoes on the door, and lots of horse related stuff as decor. We didn't get a choice of rooms, I had hoped for the Tombstone Epitaph (newspaper) room... H and I did a little talking, not as much as I would have liked but we did talk out a couple of things so it was a successful and fun trip all in all. I was glad to see that the businesses in town required masks and most people we saw were wearing them, and we just avoided those that weren't.

That looks really cool, Artie! Glad you had fun and talked about a few things with H.

Ugh, I'm sorry. Could it be sciatica maybe?

Thanks LT!

One of the best students in my language class is fifteen. She already graduated high school in May.

I feel antique.

So is this what Queen Elizabeth does all day?

This wins the internet, btw. Or it did back then, before the dark days.

This gem showed up in my suggested videos list. Not sure how. The algorithm must have a serious flaw.

I keep trying to get a picture of crotchety old man cat in his new coat. His meds are a miracle. He's practically spry all of a sudden, and he's been eating so he doesn't look so much like a cat skeleton draped in skin.

He has decided despite the plaid, he's really wearing regal robes not a coat. I think he's waiting for Amazon to deliver his crown.

I think it's good you're looking for new therapists, LT. Not because I really don't like Dr T, but because I dislike how he seems shamey about attachment.

Quietmind 2 · Oct 11, 2020 at 02:11 AM

I'm crabby. I sent my T a bunch of vulnerable emails and it's day 4 and no reply.

Also pissy with my sister, I hope I cool down. Don't know why I'm so angry she voluntarily visits our parents. It's her right to, after all.

LostOnTheTrail · Oct 11, 2020 at 03:04 AM

Wow, ATAT. That's quite something, although I can appreciate how it would be jarring.

I hope you're feeling better. I think it's always worth ruling out any other cause.
