Notes

My cholesterol, which had never been tested, was 169. So that’s good. I am considering attempting to make peace with this guy. I am not the grudge-holding type, and I could have used his help this coming weekend when I will be voice interpreting a leather contest alone. He has turned up on the BLeGIT … Continue reading »

Staff Meeting and Workshop

Tonight is my company’s quarterly staff meeting in Silver Spring; every three months we have to go sit and listen to droning administrative people for three hours. I have never really been close to the office environment because I am offsite in Alexandria all the time, so these meetings are kind of awkward for me … Continue reading »

I get my medications – there are a lot of them – by mail-order pharmacy. At the beginning of the year, my insurance company switched from using Express Scripts for that service to using Medco Health.

It’s Not Broken

According to the doctor at the urgent care center, my foot is not broken. She had thought it was when she saw it, but she didn’t find anything on the x-ray herself…but she’s sending it to a radiologist to double-check. Because my foot did end up swelling a bit, a nurse wrapped my foot in … Continue reading »

Foot Update

First of all, I sincerely appreciate all of the comments and e-mails I have gotten! It’s nice to hear so many people express concern.

My Foot

So, um, I think I just broke my foot. Or something. I was going down the stairs and on the next to the last one I slipped, hit my foot on the last one, heard a snap, and fell on the ground. I immediately began hollering; fortunately MK&R were awake so I didn’t wake anybody … Continue reading »

Dental Repair

Back in April, I had a small cavity patched on the left side of my mouth. Last week it started hurting in exactly the same spot, so I assumed something went wrong. I made an appointment and they told me they probably couldn’t fix it the same day and I would have to come back, … Continue reading »
