I second [**anyrose’s **] suggestion, Drae!
[/Quote]
The motion has been proposed and seconded! All in favor, say aye!
All opposed, say nay!
Be it herewith resolved that Drae should get a second opinion from someone who isn’t a quack! bangs gavel
y’know - those crickets are a very negative bunch - always chirping in when we ask for a NAY vote. They need to get a clue

Alright, if I don’t get something satisfactory from Partner Doc today, I’ll call the ER and see if I can get the doctor I talked to Tuesday morning to recommend somebody. I’m just trying to keep myself calm right now, so I don’t flip out on this poor guy today. I’m angry about how all of this is being handled, and I’m also frustrated, and the unfortunate part is that frustration makes me cry very easily, so I’m probably going to turn into a blubbering, screeching harpy on this poor bastard. 
Screech at him Drae. Jump up and down and say “I Told You So!” Let 'em know that if they can’t do anything for ya you will find somebody who can. I’ve jumped doctors before about stuff. If he seems as unwilling as it sounds to do anything for you, find yourself another doctor, now! But we already covered all that didn’t we?
Taters glad to hear mom is doing well. Continued good thoughts and prayers headed to her from Jawja.
Howdy Rifty or Spats whoever you are. When you going to PC? I hope you do a funny webcomic. I like funny webcomics.
Yay LiLi for sleeping most of the night!
My sinuses don’t hurt today. I have no idea why. It’s also warming up big time here. 90s by Saturday. It’s pooooooooooooooooooool tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!!!

Me, that’s who.
No worries, I won’t forget the little people…

Hah! That’s nuttin’! I’ve had a thread going for about two months about gettin’ a dopefest together in Florida and everytime I bump it, it promptly sinks like it had concrete shoes so… ohhhh… wait… that’s not a good thing, is it?
Draelin, my experience has been sometimes jackass doctors don’t listen to you UNLESS you cry! Sad but true. Twice I’ve cried to doctors and they finally listened. The first was in a situation very similar to yours. The second was to a PEDIATRICIAN for God’s sake, regarding severe diarrhea in my baby. I listened to a whole bunch of “it’s all right, sweetie” and “yes, yes that’s normal” before I screamed and cried that NO IT’S NO NORMAL and they finally listened to what I had to say. Grr. I’m not an overreacting dumbass female and don’t treat me that way.
Drae, if Stoopid Doctors Partner isn’t more understanding, go elsewhere. Nothing irks me more than a male doctor telling a female patient that something “shouldn’t hurt.” When was the last time you had a cyst on your ovaries, asshat?
I missed my dental appointment this morning and I feel really dumb. For some reason I had it in my head the appointment was at 10. It was at 7:30. I am an idiot. The office called me worried I had been involved in an accident or something, because I’ve never even been late, let alone missed an appointment. Now I get to stress over the damn thing for another week before I can be seen.
Anyone want a cat? I left my office open for about 5 minutes and Dax shredded an entire box of Kleenex and spread them all over my office and the cat suite. Grrrrr.
I’m hoping my new (used) Cottonmouths jersey will arrive today. That would be sure to cheer me up!
SCL, Dax was merely taking this rare opportunity to show you what a fine interior decorator she is
I would like to announce the arrival of Ryan Christopher Busbridge. Weight: 9 pound eight ounces. Eeek! He was born on the 16th, and mommy and baby are fine. My BIL just called. I’m so happy!
Whopee! Hoo-rah! Yay! and Whoa - big baby! Congradulations!
Welcome, Ryan!
A nice, healthy baby boy. <mists up> Awwwwwwe. We want pics!
BIL is going to make a pics page soon. He sounded exhausted but very, very happy.
WooHoo! New Baby In Da House!

Hi everyone. I’m back. I’ve sorta skimmed the MMP thus far. Stories of knives and guns and more Indian movies, oh my! 
I’m glad everyone is not-stabbed and not-shot and more or less not-stalked. I’ll do a more thorough reading later.
I’ve been in Buffalo for the past four days visiting a friend. Had a great time, we mostly hung out and tried to fix my computer (which probably needs to be reformatted due to some sound driver issues and some corrupted administrator password issues).
So, I’m back from Buffalo. No, that’s not the big news I’m talking about. I mean, it’s big for me, and I’m sure some of you are glad to hear that I’ve made it back safely, but the really big news will have to wait until the end of the post. Just to keep you all in suspense.
But the big news is — drumroll — I will actually be starting a webcomic. Weird, huh? Now, as I mentioned last time I brought this up, I can’t do it alone. I am sorely lacking in the drawing department. Which is why, during my visit to Buffalo, the slightly enigmatic Q and I began to brainstorm the early stages of our joint venture into Webcomicdom.
That’s all you get. I’m not telling you the title, the premise, the setup, or any other bits of info. It’ll be like what they do on Star Trek: “Computer, begin webcomic self-destruct countdown, silent running.” And I’m especially not telling you when it’s going to get started. I have no idea how long it will take us to get to that point, so you don’t get to know either. This is the last time I will mention the webcomic until I am ready to post a link to the first one. So sit tight and try not to think about it too hard. We wouldn’t want your brainmeats to ache.
I’d also like to note that in the course of my trip to Buffalo, I have now been to Amsterdam*, twice. I am singularly unimpressed. It’s a small city, rather run down, and it seemed very dead on both ways through. I definitely don’t want to go to grad school there, and I never ever will. So that settles that.
Remember, the puns come back Monday, but in different and changing forms. Now I’m off to a brunch.
*Amsterdam, New York.

Aw, didn’t know you were in wretched, wretched Buffalo. Coulda popped in and said hi!
Yay Baby Ryan!!! LiLi tell da BIL we don’t care how tired he is, we want pics and we want 'em now. Impress upon him the importance of sharing with the MMP.
totally off topic (but then that’s MMP tradition)
The Angry Alien Bunnies are at it again. This time, it’s Casablanca.
Yay for babies!
Good wishes for sickies!
Heck, good wishes for sickoes, too!
I’m trying to get motivated to go outside and do something, anything, in the yard, but I just can’t make myself. Nor am I motivated to make dinner. I think I’m mostly motivated to nap, but if I nap, I won’t be able to fall asleep at bedtime.
It’s so difficult to be me!! <insert deep, heartfelt sigh>
Me? Drama queen? Ya think??
Gone all day, back now, read, caught up.
Yay, welcome Baby Ryan!!
drae, go see anudder doc. I vote that way.
“paging Dr. Dumb” Love that! Except you’d have a stampede then, wouldn’t you?
I love the Angry Bunnies, off to see it now…
How exactly does one break into the MMP set? I’ve been meaning to, but it seems by the time I get here, it’s dauntingly long, and I worry that there’s some protocol that I have to read every single post through before I may post, and that might make it near-impossible (my Mondays and Tuesdays are extremely busy at work, and that’s where I post from).
So, here I am, barging in and asking, hat-in-hand, may I please join the party?
