Ahhh, the lovely Canadian Health Care system that everyone raves about. I’m sorry for that. Hopefully some of these techniques will help you get through the weekend. Take gentle care of yourself.

Just wondering how you’re doing, **kushiel**. Hope you got through the weekend OK and are on your way to getting the right treatment.

I followed this and I thank you all. I don’t thank you from Kushiel, but in this short instant, I think I am representing mankind.

Makes sense to me. Hang in there, mankind (humankind and womankind) is hard to represent. Easier to represent the boyscouts of Indiana, rural areas in the Chess competition.
Maybe next time?

Thanks guys! I just don’t like to jinx things, but on Sunday night I took off home and got to see my doctors there on Monday and got treatment. So I’m still here, but every time something like this happens, I like to have a little hiatus, so it might be a while before I poke my head back in here.

Just glad to hear everything’s okay with you, kushiel. Sending you good vibes over the interwebs.
