I think I'm bailing on the new doc. He's bleeding me dry, for all he's charging a fraction of what other practices charge their insured patients for the same services. But really? He's telling me that I'm doing all the right stuff. I've had bloodwork, mammo, and have my blood sugar, bp and cholesterol figures back. A few surprises, but nothing major, and it's all more of the same: no fat, no sugar, no salt, less meat, loads of veg, no nightshades, no white food, exercise, exercise, exercise. Being alternative, he's all for moving me off the affordable OTC meds that work well enough for me and onto more expensive specific brand supplements. I've done the niacin thing, thanks, and no, I don't like feeling like I've been rubbed down with cayenne powder and lit on fire. I'll stick with the Alleve--it's working, I can afford it, and whatever the side effects may be they don't hurt and they aren't making themselves obviously obnoxious at the moment.

Now I just need somebody who's willing to prescribe ERT to preserve my bone mass and other pleasant remnants of womanhood, and who doesn't feel it necessary to peer at my no longer extant girly bits, and charge me painful amounts of money for the priviledge, to write the damned script.

Your Birthdate: February 19

Your birth on the 19th day of the month adds a tone of independence and extra energy to your life path. But at the same time, it poses a number of obstacles to overcome before you are able to be as independent as you would like. The number 1 energy suggests more executive ability and leadership qualities than your path may have indicated. A birthday on the 19th of any month gives greater will power and self-confidence, and very often a rather original approach. However, a somewhat self-centered approach to life that may be in conflict with some of the other influences in your life. This 1 energy may diminish your ability and desire to handle details, preferring instead to paint with a broad brush. You are sensitive, but your feelings stay somewhat repressed. You have a compelling manner that can be dominating in many situations. You do not tend to follow convention or take advice very well. Consequently, you tend to learn through experience; sometimes hard experiences. The 19/1 is a loner number and you may experience feelings of being alone even if you are married. You may take on a tendency to be nervous and angry.

Huh. Gee, ya think?

What's Your True Birth Month?

Well, but 'cept I'm NOT revengeful. Takes too much effort and I don't have the time, or the interest to stick with it and get it done right. And I'm not so much about the attention, either. Most times I'd just as soon slip right under the radar....
