What's upsetting you today? - Page 40

Oh. Look. More abnormal test results, completely unrelated to the others. Delightful.

Apparently two specialists wasn't enough. I will now be seeing a perinatal specialist, a neurologist, and an endocrinologist on a regular basis for the next 7 months, in addition to my standard OB visits.

I did an end-run on my OB though. He didn't feel qualified to minutely interpret the endocrinology lab results, so he insisted I go to a general practioner first, who would then tell me if I needed to be referred to an endocrinologist. Fuck that shit, dude, I'm not made of copays and free time. An endocrinologist is perfectly capable of telling me himself if things are mostly fine and just require monitoring.

So today will be appointment number three this week, plus another three already scheduled for next week. I swear to God, no one better try to put me on bedrest. That shit just can't happen.

Sorry Clod. Try not to focus too much on the bad stuff, you don't need to add stress to anything else that may or may not be going on.

I burned my tongue and I can't find my pass for the sport center

Saturday night I made a bed in the bathroom and spent the night, and half of Sunday, in the three-foot space between the wall and the toilet.

My stomach is still not quite right.

Yuck. Sorry, HLJ.
