Teach - only the second week - so I'm reserving comment. But am hopeful.

Since I was back at the doc -
I made the appt to see some counselor guy ...

*sigh*

look -
I'm almost fifty.
I've been married, divorced.
I've raised two kids,
well, tried to anyway...
I've lived on ranches, horse farms ...
I've lived in mansions and pickup campers
hay lofts and trailer parks.
I've been chased by pool boys and crazy men with guns in blizzards....
I know that when you're shot at -
the brick chip flys out and it hits you in the face
BEFORE you hear a gunshot ...
I've BEEN to both the mountain top
and the rodeo.

Therefore-
It's gonna take a lot more than a 'DR' in front of your name to impress me.

I'm not into all this label/steps/fal de rah stuff the medical community takes its self importance from you know?

Anyhow - so I make the appointment.
And he calls.
He gives me the ole 'just want to touch base and give you an idea of what we'll be talking about and get you familiarized with what we do here and our training at the clinic ....

at some point

because my eyes have long since glazed over regarding whatever it is they do ....

he sez 'let's hope the topamax and the criteria (do something)
your condition ....'

I comment -
'honey, you just try to keep up.'

he kinda nervous chuckles and says -
"WHY do people keep saying that to me regarding you Miz Barb?"

heehee.

I think ... this is going to be more fun than anything.
