I have a rant today...got the STD/FMLA papers back from my new surgeon. He apparently thinks I'll only need ONE WEEK off for my surgery. Is he crazy? I live a half hour's drive from my house, and have to SIT (which gives me the most pain) for 9 hours a day. I'm waiting for a call back from his office. I spoke to HR, and they said not to worry about it - they can always change the amount of time needed per the doctor's recommendation. Last surgery they required 3 weeks, which was honestly a little too long. Two weeks to me is proper if they're not doing anything crazy. I'm just frustrated. The surgery hasn't even happened yet, and I'm already dealing with sh*t from the doctor. This is honestly why I put it off as long as I did.
I guess I just got spoiled with the CEC last time...everything was SO EASY. New doctor's office, not so much. They never even sent me a list of things I can/can't have in the few wks prior to surgery! I had to call and ask because, unfortunately, this isn't my first rodeo

No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

Karen I've deduced from his heinous dress sense that karma is having a laugh on him from something else he did. Anyway my stupid joke was to just randomly shout 'Jamie, stop touching me!' but that'd have serious repercussions if I said it to him cos it'd go straight to a sexual harassment issue I know it. Unlike him the last thing I want is to cause trouble for someone or blow his sad touchy feely ways out of proportion. I will be fighting the urge to stab him in the hand with a pen next time he puts a hand on me though. Nothing too pervy just creepy and his being such a jobsworth to the point of lying just makes it hard to like or forgive him for being a massive prick.
I've missed so many facebook messages today and one was from him. I'm glad I missed it and hope he thinks I've ignored him.
A few things were given a new more optimistic light for me today so I will a happier bunny again tomorrow, thank God.

I had a similar experience today - went to the post office to mail my urine sample from last weekend, waited in line for forever, only to find out that they don't ship overnight (as required) to the zip code that the lab is at. Then had to sprint to Fed Ex and wait another 20 minutes while the one guy that worked there made some copies for a woman. All in all, I spent 1 hour to ship 2 oz of urine overnight for $40.

Plus I feel like crap today and everyone was driving incredibly slow.

Plus I'm in a bad mood.

Plus it's only Thursday and not Friday.

Like what do you do? Say, "Sorry honey, I have to drop a load?" Or do you just do it anyways and deal with the horrible feeling? UGH

The urine I shipped today was to analyze what nutrients my body is able to break down properly and what's just passing through. I still haven't mailed the spit, that'll go out tomorrow. Have just been too damn busy.

But to really make me feel like a complete ass, I just picked up another urine kit today, this time to check to see if my body is creating hormones properly, and yup, it's another freaking 24 hour one. This one came with a huge 'ol orange jug... Ugh, I HATE HATE HATE peeing in anything other than a toilet!!

That you set in the toilet?

Blegh. Looks like u have a few weeks, though, as it has to be timed with my cycle. Fingers crossed I have a normal cycle this time!

I will say, I'd rather do all this than have them go in there and get the samples themselves. Hopefully this is the last 24 hour pee test Karen! Is this the steroid cascade one?
