confession
My thyroid prescription ran out about 2 weeks ago. I keep forgetting to get it refilled. I know I should go today, but I was just at the store yesterday (and forgot the perscription bottle) and I just don't feel like going back.
I feel no different than I did when I was still taking it, which of course makes me treat it with less urgency.
Also, I still have not bothered to find doctors out here. I purposely arranged all my medical care back east so I'd get to wait as long as possible to start the process out here. I'm running out of time and I now have a list of 6 appointments I should be making (eye dr, dentist, enodcrinologist, etc). But I hate doctors and I really hate trying to find new doctors and I just realized how high the deductible is on our insurance and I just don't want to.
So if I go blind, my teeth fall out, or I keel over dead, you'll all know it was my own damn fault.
Re: confession
What kind of thyroid issue is it?
Also: Your teeth can wait. I mean, the good news is that oral implants get cheaper every day. If you can hold out another 20 years you can just avoid a nice dinner out and get dentures instead. From what I understand they make impressions of your real teeth by using this quick-hardening glop in a tray and sticking it into your mouth. You have to lay back while it dries, so it tends to ooze down your throat and harden there. Don't think about pulling it out though, because then they'll have to re-do the process. Then they pull out all your teeth, and give it about a week so your gums can heal, THEN you get fitted for the new teeth... ...did that convince you to make the appointment?
Confession: I'm not entirely sure why I need prenatal care from here on out. I'm healthy, I feel him move constantly, and I don't have many issues. I figure I could just go until May and then show up and give birth.
That said, I won't do it. I will go regularly and be seen.
Other confession: I actually get mad at FIL when I'm searching for jobs. There are so many jobs out there that are similar to what he did at his last job (and I know all about his last job because he liked to talk about it). But he's being an idiot and holding out for something high paying. He's such a fecking tard and I want to rip him a new one.
AMEN.
I'm not 100% in love w/ my PCP anymore...
but she has HUGE points because she pointed me to the OB/GYN that I ADORE.
Confession: I don't get teh baby rabies. I have zero desire to have children. Put an infant in my arms and I feel....nothing. Not an urge, not a twitch. Now give me a puppy or a kitten and squeee!!!1!1!! I want one!
I think it was all the hormones they had me on for my various gyn problems as a young teen. I think it killed off any genes/proteins/hormones/DNA strands that makes someone want children.
I was talking about it at Xmas and my uncle said they must have a shot to cure that. Noooo thanks.
They do. It's called whiskey. YWIA!!1
