sick of shitty drivers running stop signs and red lights in my hood

if i am unsuccessful there, i will proceed to an ER and say the things ChatGPT told me to say in pursuit of this imaging. prayers/vibes/wishes/spells TO GET SEEN (not even get well atp) welcome. success stories welcome.

yes, so far, since becoming insured in 2023, the podiatrist is the ONLY physician to have sent me to a neurologist YET. and that was last year, when my symptoms were chronic, not worsening and not so various as now.

there is more to the writeup but it is all depressing and alarming. i am trying one more direct doctor avenue to getting a usable neurology referral tomorrow, my podiatrist, who ordered the EMG/NCS last year.

i fed my emg and nc results/report from last year into ChatGPT because they are partially illegible. this turned out to be a good step in terms of synthesizing my symptoms.

took a dose of prescribed codeine last night, dreamt i was trying to move from room to room in a house that was listing so badly i had to haul myself along by the banisters and, eventually, floor. woke panting, dizzzzzzzy. closing in on ER territory ISO MRI atp.

saw endodontist. had CT of teeth done. he thinks he can complete the second root canal. this is crucial to me, on osteoporosis meds, contraindicating extraction or other oral surgery (link to osteosarcoma).

my root canal is incomplete. my tooth is perforated (?) and I have been referred to an endodontist to determine IF root canal is even possible.

the goal this week is to find a neuro who can see me (before February) who’s in my insurance network (not 900 dollars a visit). let’s get scans

tfw you don’t want to over identify with a potential diagnosis but your slow and piecemeal research is a cloud watching session gone to marbles

bongo and I started his summer classes: scent work and summer camp (different skills every time, today clicker training)

update: received another neuro referral call. this one can see me mid July, for the extremely reasonable copay of $900.

update: waiting at the tire place for what i am told will be at least 2 1/2 hours to have my car assessed. there is a huge screw in the back left tire, is why it is flat. the cap, additionally, is off the right tire. ac blasting in here. rolled my socks up to my knees. nose running.

update: my MIL put me on her AAA but under her last name, not mine. we will see if they honor my ID

moar medical related nonsense: had blood draw/DEXA (osteoporosis care) two days ago. results appointment today. got into car. started to drive. TIRE IS COMPLETELY FLAT. husband is trying to come help. May miss appointment.

finally got neurologist appointment. for February. of next year.

appropriate levels of REM and deep sleep accomplished

this is one of the things my father was extremely good at. 3 off the top of my head: paper moon full metal jacket waiting for guffman

this was absolute junk food tv. ticks many boxes including armchair analysis, voyeurism, and budget styling.

in other news, it’s going to hit 100 here before 9AM
