I love my doctor but I'm tired of what he keeps telling me!

Just left another 2 1/2 hour appt today. After an ekg, a shot in the booty, and hearing him speak about how I'd qualify now for ssdi, he convinced me to go back to taking 2 more meds I have tried and tried to stay off of! Its his birthday today...so I said happy birthday, okay, I'll go back on em! Shoooot!

I am still not released to work but 4 hours a day....been that way since returning from FL and only on days I feel well enough to go in... Outta leave... FMLA is running out if not out now... The federal ADA act of 2008 is my foot in the door now. The papers the ADA director wanted today my doc refused to touch until I am 'stable'... I see him in 2 weeks as he is going to Bangkok again for a hockey tournament this year.

I hate when he is out of town, but with patients like me, he deserves a GOOD vacation! He said he has a friend in bangkok who emails him daily about the flood status.

He better come back! Although he doesn't always understand me, he tries and that's more than most anyone does.

*sob*

I went to my fav mexican restaurant for some queso to chill and forget all that crap.

Just spoke w/ Carlos my waiter about where to go in Mexico City when I get there.

He suggested a Castle? Where they keep what sounds like the Mexican version of San Antonio's Alamo-type stuff...

I wonder if they cash US SSDI checks south of the border.

Maybe that small ssdi check would be a small fortune down there even? Ya think?

So how r u?

I love u and hope to see u soon.
