Awesome Thursday

[partiallysunny]

It's bring your child to work day today and I'm dying of cuteness. Mines too little to participate but seeing everyone else's kids is adorable.

[cuddlyevil]

We don't really do that here

Mine are going to the zoo today. DS#2 was all "are you coming to the zoo wif us?" then pouted when I said I had to work.

[partiallysunny]

I hate when they're all cute and try to get you to stay home! The zoo would have been fun.

[cuddlyevil]

I know!

The execs at my job feel that pulling your kid out of school for the day is disruptive and unnecessary, so they make up their own bring your child to work day. It's in June, after school is out.

Sofa king stoopid


I'm more into the aquarium than the zoo. I have a thing with water. I need to make a trip to the one in Inner Harbor (MD) again. I haven't been there in years.

This weekend, I am going to put away my winter coat and winter boots (again) but this time, it's for good. Even IF it snows again, I am not putting my coat and boots back on. I REFUSE! Come the fvck on, Mother Nature!

I am wearing a cute outfit again today. Got complimented on it

Found out more people are leaving the department

I bought a beautiful orange dress last night to wear to a wedding and walk the stage in and it fits me perfect buy the zipper won't zip past the seam and I can't figure out why so it may have to go back. When I tried it on in store I thought it was just me not being able to reach it properly but the mister can't get it up. Ugh.


I stopped to get coffee and I need to poop but can't leave the lab right now.ugh.


My h ended up begging me to go to that rehearsal dinner the other night so I went and he gave a speech about the groom where he teared up. I adore my husband so much, its times like that which remind me just how much I love him.

pinkplasticdoll - maybe just a faulty zipper? I bought a dress that was super cute that I had to bring to a tailor to replace the zipper.

Hooray! I'll bet it feels good!

Some jerk took my clean laundry out of the washing machine and set it on top of the dryer so they could run their load. There was still someone else's clothing in the dryer. I just don't understand stacking up the wash like that. My passive aggressive revenge was to open the lid of the washing machine to pause it for a few minutes.

So here's my neurologist update. He thinks that the numb patch on my leg is probably due to some trauma I encountered on my upper leg at some point - like banging or hitting it by accident. He thinks the sensation will come back in time. In regards to the nerves in my lower arms and hands, he was a bit more concerned and is going to have me do a neuro-electrical study where they hook my arms up to electrodes to test my nerves and see if they are functioning properly. The nerves that I am having the numbness/tingling sensation are the nerves that are responsible for 90% of hand movement.

On the headache front - he said the meds my GP prescribed just weren't adequate to treat migraines. He gave me three separate samples of migraine meds to try to see which one worked the best.

I go for the electrode study in two weeks and then see him again in another month about the headaches.

It does! And cute office neighbor is here today--he passed by me once already. I got a pause, back-up then smile and wave If my blindlingly pale legs don't put him off, today will be a good day.


I am glad you're getting some answers doglove. I hope the meds help the headaches.

Today is sort of like a Friday for me. I am coming in early tomorrow and leaving at noon so I can get ready for BIL's wedding. I'm getting nervous because my car is in the shop. It was supposed to be ready yesterday and is now supposed to be ready tomorrow. I have to give back my loaner and I've already got enough to do tomorrow.

I want my MINI back! What I am driving is ok it's just not mine.

[tiramisu]

It sounds like progress doglove. I hope the new meds help and that the test goes well.

[margarita]

Sounds like a positive update doglove!

[Deleted]

Me too guys, I am nervous about the test for my hands/arms, but hopefully it'll be a relief to know for sure. I've had weird issues with my hands and fingers for a while now and the tingling - I think I've just tried to diminish it so I wouldn't worry about it.

[margarita]

(((doglove)))

It's okay. I would be nervous, too, but I am sure you are fine. The neurologist is just covering all of the bases and being thorough, which is great!

I googled, but I am going to stop - but what I could find is that it's possible my nerves may be compressed at my elbows. The symptoms sound exactly the same. That doesn't seem like a huge deal. 

[tiramisu]

doglove I think not knowing/not having answers is the hardest part, but you'll have them soon and then you'll know the best way to proceed.

[cuddlyevil]

doglove, I hope it's just compressed nerves. That's fixable

OMG the other department is doing a pedal wagon thing as a social event--cute neighbor guy was like "we should invite them(meaning my department)". I would totally go.

[margarita]

That could very well be, doglove. I agree with tiramisu. Not knowing is the absolute worst! Once you know for sure, you will be fine.

I just remembered that today is stbx's birthday. Took me a few minutes to sort out why the 24th had any significance. After work today I'm getting a haircut and then hanging out with friends. I planned far in advance when I was still sad about things just in case, but now I don't care. I'm just looking forward to seeing my hairstylist and my friends.

[partiallysunny]

That sounds promising doglove. Hurray for having a plan!

[gault]

I'm glad to hear this update, doglove And YES for actual migraine meds that work! Let us know if you get some relief.

[gault]

I had an absolutely lovely date last night and am grinny today.

[exploding people]

Sounds like decent progress, doglove. Fingers crossed for more answers and easy fixes.

I need second breakfast, I think, and more coffee. All this rain is making me sleepy.
