Ugh we meet doctor douche this morning. Mom had an appointment with the surgeon who will take off the main tumor at her temple. Not a hello or a handshake, absolutely no explanation about the procedure, had no idea about her medical file and had trouble getting why we were there, put the appointment "in emergency" in 4 days for March 29th, was squinting at the computer screen to read while sniffing continually, and handed forms the sign and read with the same hand he held a dirty paper tissue... Way to make a good impression dude!

He sounds terrible! I hope he at least knows what he's doing. Morning, Tink.

  What's going on, B? You okay?  

All good. Tired after a long day and a bluefish spider. It makes driving a little bit stressful not knowing where they will move to

Yeeeaaah, me too... In the Witcher games it's a fairly established term too, lol! Morning, Marty.  

 

Oof, creepy! I mean, I think spiders are cool and fascinating, and I've been known to pick up and play with the ones we've got here, but the ones you've got over there are just a huge NOPE! 

Guessing it's getting to be bedtime for you? In which case, sleep well!

 

Morning, Dugh!  

 

 Morning, Clo!  Or, afternoon, but I got up an hour and a half ago, so...

 

Morning, Kitt!  Stay safe!

Morning, Thorn.

I would walk... not in the upside down, though... that's dangerous.

I'm doing good. Missing my son... and my other son hurt his back while working out.   I was going to drive over to see him while his wife is at work but he said don't bother... he's in bed, on muscle relaxers. How are you?

[Headstall]

Happy Howling Monday, all!  I'm staying in bed...

Hope he feels better soon. My mum has a back/hip thing. Not fun. And I'm okay, though I feel a little bit anxious and irritable today. Please let me know if I get obnoxious, lol! I type faster than I think today.

Good night everyone

Should have stayed in bed - not got to the office yet, dealing with emergencies 

 

I get to wear my fluoro yellow vest

Driving home a huge huntsman spider came crawling onto my windscreen. It was on the inside

I'd get a second opinion.  I would not want someone like that operating on me or any of my loved ones.

I still have power, but there are whiteouts here with blowing snow. At six this morning, Cookie wanted to play, and I kept losing sight of her.   Morning, sis.  

I still have power too.  Sounds like we have the same weather.  They've extended the wind warning and we're getting intermittent white-outs too.  Work has power, so I went in, but a little late.  There's tons of closures, so little traffic, which was nice.

I've had that happen... on the thruway of all places for a huge brown spider to crawl out from my side window O.O Driver's side window no less.  How I didn't smash into anyone is a minor miracle.  I opened the window and I'm pretty sure it blew away.  Talk about a heart attack. And that wasn't even an Australian monster spider!

time to change docs!

Thankfully it's just for this one surgery, no need to see him again. But yeah if she had to she'll ask for someone else

It’s important your mum has confidence in her doctor. Can you get a referral to someone else?

Not really, time isn't on her side

You opened the window but are you sure it blow away out of the car? Maybe the wind send it in your hair to give you a hikey

Well since it never resurfaced, I'm assuming it blew out of the car.  I did have a scary incident with a bug in my hair once... I was chatting with friends in the parking lot of a restaurant after we'd met for lunch.  What I thought was a bee was buzzing around my friend's head so I said 'see ya later!" and got the eff out of there. I am absolutely terrified of bees.  Well on the way home, I put my hand in my hair and felt a bug... OMFG  It's a miracle I didn't crash into anything!  It turned out to be a June bug, but still.
