We’ll be phone twins!! I bought the purple iPhone in September :) I’ve always been an Apple girl so I’m comfortable with it, I hope you like it!

Cancel the class. I understand the whole guilt thing ‘cause I’m wired that way too, but you’re no good to your students if you’re hurting. Plus better to cancel 1 class now then to have to cancel a bunch down the road when you have to have surgery.

Listen to your doc baby girl. Take it easy. It will be okay.

*hugs*

I did it!  I cancelled classes tomorrow and I even asked about getting parking permission to move closer to the building when I get back on Wednesday.  When the doc said something about rupturing the ligament even more than it already is, it threw me enough for my mom’s guilt trip voice in my head to falter and I managed to push it aside long enough to send the email. 

Fuck it and sleep. That’s what I’m doing.

Do it for me, Pie, I was supposed to have the weekend off but now I have to spend it on standard Hurricane Prep instead.

Fuck it, sleep.

(with a devil on the shoulder voice) I'd fuck it :)

My guilt complex says duty but the rest of me that doesn’t get the weekend off says fuck it and sleep in the name of those of us that can’t. ;)

Fuck it and sleep. I don't have the option but you do!

My brain says duty. My sleep debt says fuck it.

I slept in.

Commented on this already, but what does your diabetes doc say?

Not much.  She’s impossible to talk to, always starts the conversation with “if you just cut 300 calories a day ...” line. Why 300, I wonder? Did she just pull that number out of the air?  I had to fight her not to get her to put me on metformin for the diabetes and she got touchy about it even after I explained the nasty side effects.

Oh my! Sounds like ALL your docs need to get together and get on the same page! Hang in there, and know I’m praying for you!

katsdisturbed replied to your post “So, turns out my medication for my migraines is a beta blocker which...”

And there isn't anything else he can put you on for the migraines?

I asked and he said the others wouldn’t work as well.  I literally miss one of my beta blockers and a headache starts. Sigh.

I’m in a similar situation with my birth control. It manages my PCOS and my PMDD but makes it nearly impossible to lose weight. Add that to my hypothyroidism and it’s a miracle just maintaining my (morbidly obese ��) weight. Im almost afraid to get my headaches treated. Seems like every condition I have and every medication I take makes me gain weight. And yet I’m constantly told by doctors that “losing 50lbs will really help alleviate these symptoms”. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT???

I know, right?  Like, the damn meds make it almost impossible to lose weight but if I’d just drop 50 pounds everything would be better.  AS if I could just peel it off and drop it on the ground.

I wish doctors would just in general STFU about losing weight and accept the fact that sometimes, *sometimes!* bodies just naturally come in different dimensions, and that it isn't always unhealthy. But, yeah, ragging on you to lose weight when it is physically fucking impossible unless you go off the meds they prescribed to you is another layer of hell right there. I'm so sorry, Hon. :(

We care more than you think and are under more stress than you expect. Give us a chance by presenting the material in a way that’s conducive to our learning styles, rather than sticking to a teaching style you developed when you were in school. We get more info thrown at us per hour than college age ppl 10 years ago got in a week. The world has changed, societal information delivery systems have changed, so our brains have adapted. We want to leran and we want to pass, please adapt with us.

   Dude, PREACH. I worked at a bookstore for 2.5 years. Our computer and organization systems were changed so many times no one could keep anything straight. And the only thing management cared about was schmoozing customers without actually doing any of the work.

I had a few issues with it (dub-con @ festival, flat female characters, killing Rocky for manpain) but overall I loved it :) Just wish it'd had more Channing Tatum in it. ��
