Is she becoming addicted to painkillers? Bad...
evile: just got done w/phone duty from heck!!
SkyeDS: good riddance then
evile: yeah. I get to go home at 3:20, though. :)
SkyeDS: yay :)
evile: yeah, that'll be nice.
evile: I love this thing for talking with real people I know in RL,
but the trollyspammers are annoying as hell.
SkyeDS: nods
evile: "R U a boy or a girl?"
Great line. I really want to talk to a person who types like that and
asks questions like that.
SkyeDS: I love ignore.
evile: *nodnod*
evile: Looks like we're going to see Troy on June 1st, 7pm at the
Gateway. You're welcome to join us, if your schedule permits :)
SkyeDS: will write that down, t hanks :)
SkyeDS: oh wait. new tenant moving in after work :(
evile: dammit!
evile: Well, if it's any good at all, I'll probably be up for seeing
it more than once.
SkyeDS: :)
evile: I'd see SEcret window again, but probably not Hidalgo--it was
kind of long and it made me CRY
evile: I get a feeling June's gonna be a "cheap movies" kinda month.
SkyeDS: I want to see both
SkyeDS: haven't seen either
evile: I have seen them both. Secret Window is at the dollar movies.
Also, dawn of the dead & taking lives. I heard taking lives is really
bad, but I'd watch Angelina Jolie brush her teeth and gladly pay $2
to do it...
SkyeDS: lol
evile: She has a wierd mouth, but I dig her bod...
SkyeDS: I like her much better with her natural hair color
SkyeDS: I didn't like what they did to her hair in Gone 60 seconds
evile: yeah...bad choice.
evile: Watched Edward Scissorhands in MT with my mom & sister...boy,
Winona Ryder had BAD hair color in that.
SkyeDS: ew
evile: Yeah, she is one who really can't do anything but her natural
color & look good.
evile: Nicole Kidman looks better red. Monica Belluci looked great in
all 3 colors she had in "Malena." (liked the red best but I think
that's me..)
SkyeDS: the opening shots of NK in Moulin Rouge were exquisite
evile: *nodnod* I never liked her before & haven't really lusted for
her since...but her MR hair color was *gorgeous* ([sister H] says it was
wigs and not dye)
SkyeDS: and the makeup was flawless
evile: yup.
evile: I still want them to put out a big color book of movie stills
so I can get a better look at all the can can dresses.... *pout*
SkyeDS: aw
evile: Not that I could sew such a thing in a million years...but I
wanna look.
evile: Not good..today is feeling like a Friday.
SkyeDS: I wish
evile: J-Law is going to NYC tomorrow, it's her Friday. Lucky gal!
SkyeDS: <sigh>
evile: Her friend Kevin is living there now, having a great ol' time,
apparently.
SkyeDS: went another round w/ the therapist today
evile: What's the latest Brilliant Plan?
SkyeDS: usual collar debate
evile: meds, no meds, PT?
SkyeDS: yep
SkyeDS: told them, once more, look
SkyeDS: I had a good weekend for the first time in a long time
SkyeDS: I had a good day yesterday, ditto
SkyeDS: I'm trying to manage pain
SkyeDS: ya'll won't even give me pain med
SkyeDS: and I'd rather wear the collar for very short peirods of time
SkyeDS: than pop darvoset all damn day
evile: makes sense.
SkyeDS: "but you're going backwards"
SkyeDS: look, honey, I'm not going forwards when the pain is worse
than it was when this all began in January
SkyeDS: "but prolonged use is bad!"
evile: bizarre.
SkyeDS: ok, what part of "I don't wear it but half an hour at a time,
a very few times a day" don't you understand
SkyeDS: I am NOT wearing it for PROLONGED time
evile: ?? WTf!!
SkyeDS: I'm writing their opinions off
SkyeDS: the way I do the obg's about my blood pressure
SkyeDS: they don't understand pain management so be it
evile: I dont' see why you have to stick with these nimrods...can't
you get another opinion?
SkyeDS: they're good for what they're good for
SkyeDS: which is supervising my exercises
evile: It is a hassle to go shopping for another Dr...but if these
people aren't going to help you any more than that, maybe time.
SkyeDS: I don't know about the Dr yet
SkyeDS: I talk to him tomorrow
SkyeDS: but I'm just going to take the good parts of what the
therapists are capable of
SkyeDS: and ignore them the rest of the time
evile: yup.
SkyeDS: like I ignored Peter about vegetarian diet, at yoga
evile: yup
SkyeDS: they want to fire me, they can
SkyeDS: bet I could find appropriate exercises online or in a book if
I did my research
evile: I'm sure the Dr. can find you another one who might actually
*listen* to you...
SkyeDS: the therapists work for the doctor
evile: oh well. maybe not then. But mayb eif you mention that Dr's
people aren't paying any attention to you when you tell them what's
going on, he can shake 'em up a little...
SkyeDS: I'll tell him Thu same thing I've told them at least twice now
SkyeDS: I'm not going to suffer more pain than I did when this began
evile: yup
SkyeDS: I have a degree in English.
SkyeDS: I'm certified as a paralegal and a teacher.
SkyeDS: I understand what "prolonged use is bad" means
evile: I would think...
SkyeDS: I am perfectly capable of figuring out how to wean myself off
gradually
SkyeDS: but cold turkey, with no pain meds, is NOT working
SkyeDS: so I'm going to do what works for me
SkyeDS: the exercises they give me are very good
SkyeDS: the advice, sucks
evile: would be nice to have a little more support and help from
them...not to mention a few pills just in case.
SkyeDS: mom left me some darvoset
evile: ick.
SkyeDS: and I'm going to tell the doctor he'd best give me a pain
prescription
SkyeDS: a narcotic one
SkyeDS: although I still don't want to pop pills if I have a better
way to manage pain
SkyeDS: like not stopping the collar cold turkey
evile: right.
evile: I've been taking Emergen-C with MSM and that's helped my knees
tremendously. I'm happy :) Still need to lose weight to take stress
off them,anyway, but it's nice to have a short term solution.
SkyeDS: nods
evile: I don't really know if MSM is just for joint-rebuilding or for
helping with cartilage anywhere...or even if it's just mind ove
matter & not 'real' at all. I like it. That's the important part :P
SkyeDS: yep
evile: I am so ready to be outta here today. I wonder if schools out
yet, or if I'm going to be on the bus with a billion rowdy kids.
SkyeDS: school's out sometime this week
SkyeDS: for most places
evile: I guess we'll see...I know UT is out, but that's about it. Oh,
and I think Gtown is out because Sunshine said his ceremony is Friday.
SkyeDS: Manor's out sometime this week too K said
SkyeDS: Thu maybe don't remember
evile: hm. Next time I have a bunch of extra $$ laying around, I'm
getting an ipod or somesuch so that the school kids won't be an issue
on the bus anymore
SkyeDS: good idea
evile: Usually just reading helps me tune out but a bus full of kids
is loud enough to break my concentration
SkyeDS: :(
evile: As long as I have a half hour to myself between schoolkids and
any social interaction, I can decompress and be OK.
evile: I can't believe anyone can work with them for an 8+ hour
workday/40+ hour work week. I'd kill myself.
evile: I liked Mom's kids. But they were small town, private school,
and from a culture that respects elders...
SkyeDS: teachers mad now, AISD going to have a teacher dress code
evile: wierd.
SkyeDS: the ones that dress like whores ruining it for everyone else
SkyeDS: grade school teachers get in the floor with their kids
SkyeDS: don't need to be wearing long skirts and heels
evile: I thought they already had a dress code...bizarre.
SkyeDS: not for teachers
SkyeDS: been left up to individual principals
evile: hm. Well, that sucks.
SkyeDS: yes, teachers need not to dress like whores
SkyeDS: but can't you manage that without being overly silly about
what elementary school teachers can wear
evile: one would think.
evile: Our dress code is pretty broad. But it's never enforced, or
sporadically enforced..so we might as well not have one.
evile: it's just one big lawsuit waiting to happen..
SkyeDS: all it takes is one pissed off employee
evile: yup!
evile: Personally, I dont' think it's that unreasonable: no short
skirts, no sleeveless shirts, no tshirts, no jeans with holes, no
open toe shoes, stuff like that.
evile: Well, looks like time for me to sort out my paperwork & get
gone.
evile: I'm in the middle of a good book, so hopefully it will be
enough to keep my focus off the loud bus
evile: _Kushiels Chosen_==it's #2 in a series of 3. I don't usually
read series, but this ones pretty good and I am pretty sure it wraps
up at the end of #3 and doesn't go on endlessly.
evile: Anyhoo, I'm outta here. *hugs* see ya! Good luck with the Dr!
