Off Topic Part Trois

[Krikit 1,163]

coffee service sure has improved dramatically around here.

That coffee pic kind of freaked me out a bit. It reminds me of bugs and that disease where your limbs fall off. You know.... the one where they have all those really bad good jokes about it. lol

On another note..... we have a/c! I am so cool now.

The doctor's visit was interesting. I had to sign my name and write the date in no less than 15 places on the 3 or 4 page double-sided document they handed me. They were really nice about explaining what the heck it all meant because I didn't understand a lot of it. So I went in because I'm concerned about my blood pressure and he says "I want you to go for a mammogram." I literally went "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO." I came here for blood pressure.... not ####### pressure.

There was lots more interesting stuff yesterday but I don't feel like talking. lol

"Blood pressure, not ####### pressure."

I think that just made my day

Say to the doctor "If I have to get a mamogram, my husband has to get a prostate exam!"

To make it fair you know

And I was looking around the active people in the Canadian section, and I think I'm the youngest at 21.

I thought the same thing about the coffee cup!

Things like that and things with a lot of little holes gross me out... like crumpets, crumpets freaking gross me out!

[Rhiannercakes 14]

Well, allergist appointment done.

Was there for about an hour, 30 of it was waiting.

Did a ####### test and nothing showed up.

Since I've had them for 6+ weeks, they're chronic and not food related.

I told him about my face swelling from some foods but he didn't seem to care.

I have to get blood testing for my thyroid done. I'm kind of hoping it is my thyroid and not just randomly triggering hives. I wonder if it's related to my weight gain... or I just want to blame my weight gain on it.

Me too! But not crumpets for some reason, which is good since I like them.

Rest assured Krikit, you were always cool. ####### pressure? Your doctor did go to a reputable medical school I hope, not a fly-by-night one like the University of Toronto. Maybe he has many patients who are exotic dancers. Pray tell Krikit, what was your blood pressure like after the doctor's "misunderstanding."

One of my former coworkers had constant hives as well. He's allergic to pretty much everything, so he takes anti-histamines every day. That sux.

Get back in your cage you perv!

So. I just walked down to the Clubhouse because they have a mobile blood bank in the parking lot today. The doctor yesterday said it was a good way to get tested for cholesterol, etc, otherwise it would cost me if he did all the tests and he wasn't sure if it would be covered by the insurance and blah and blah and blah. That wasn't the reason I was going, btw. lol. Anyway, I was turned down! They said I've spent too much time in the UK. I feel so rejected. This isn't doing very well for my current emotional state.

Hey, that's Len's line. Seriously, how much faith do you have in the doctor now?

You are a bloodbank reject! Oh my oh my. I don't understand the UK connection though.

I also don't understand why they check your cholesterol when you donate blood.

I know! I feel so ashamed!

He said it was because of the mad cow disease. And all this time I thought it was because of my pleasant personality that people were calling me a mad cow.

The cholesterol thing was interesting. Maybe it's an incentive?

If you were in the UK during the BSE time frame, they'll reject your blood.
