Didn't sleep well last night, and somehow also picked up an extremely sore
neck in the process.

Dammit. Back to the can't-go-to-sleep, then can't-wake-up cycle. I was
really hoping to be through with this. Especially annoying because I'm
totally exhausted by the time I can call boy, but too tired to make sense,
but can't fall asleep if I hang up either. Bah.

Thanks to all three of you with the good stories about lymphoma. That is
really encouraging. I feel better already. Tomorrow I have outpatient biopsy
to determine the details.
Re the sore shoulder - I think I would be okay if the muscle would stop
pulling as I found one position that works. I already have an inch of foam
(that cmopresses to nothing) and two down pillows.

I'd tell you to cocoon in some blankets and the sleeping bag, but it's too
hot. :(

I deal extensively with insurance billing myself (what do you do, exactly,
jiffer? I'm mostly registration and problem-solving), so let me know if you
have any questions. Particularly if you attend St. Joe's, Sindi, because I
can tell you who to talk to if I'm not the guy to help.
Then again, my mum could tell you all about the U of M oncology unit, so
there's more resources out there.
People talk about "losing the battle" when someone dies from a disease. I
find that to be innaccurate--everybody dies, not everybody loses. My dad won
his battle with cancer, and it wasn't something the doctors could do for
him--it's all about spirit. Keep yours up, Sindi, and it will do you a world
of good.

re452: consider spending some time on the cube with gabriel chin
(if he's still around). some of the stuff he does might ease
your muscle problems.

IBB I learned from an article in the newspaper that a friend, and a damn nice
person, was likely murdered by her boyfriend.

resp:448 maybe. But at a sleep clinic? No, although it would
normally seem funny, this is actually very, very serious. I'm
starting to get very scared. I hate waking up after a full night's
sleep dead tired or even sleep some nights waking up 3, 4 times a
night. I just about freaked hardcore because missing an appointment
with a referral counts as two no-shows with my primary care physician
and I get dropped. We frantically rescheduled the appointment.
Laugh if you feel like it. I'm actually hurt.

I know it is serious, but the irony did not escape me. I'm not actually
laughing AT you or your problem.

Bummed because someone cut a fiber optic cable and our phone service is out
probably until the 25th of this month. So no Internet/grex at home for the
next week. :-(

Ack! And you live not far from us. My sympathies - internet deprivation
is serious stuff.

re back there: AC's a fantastic invention. I turned it back on last night
for the specific purpose of cocooning in a feather bed, and I actually
slept pretty well. (going to bed at 10 pm didn't hurt either...and caught
boy at his lunch hour. :))

My car was almost, but not quite, overheating; it would heat up to just
short of the red line. I took it in today, and have been told I need a
new radiator. I also need a new thermostat. The estimate is $400,
which must have pushed my repair tab for my 1992 Taurus with 130,000
miles over $1500 for the year.
This is the first time I've gotten a new thermostat without also
getting a new water pump.

resp:455 Senna, I do data entry (demographics), A/R, precollections,
and some coding. I am learning the coding now. But I know how to lay
on sweetness while telling people to pay the doctor. And I am learning
to deal better with medicare.
IBB I am totally out of shape. I went to pots over the summer. I
couldn't swim a whole lap, I got three quarters through it, and was
breathing to hard to do an american crawl. So, I am going to have to
do "homework" to make sure that I can get a decent grade in my PE class
(decent grade in a PE class will always be an A in my book).

Would someone who remembers how start me a separate hospital-type time?
Today I had the biopsy and they made me wait four hours afterwards with a
needle in my arm, then another hour after taking Tylenol to get my temperature
down (from 102 - it had been 97) and then they pestered me about staying two
more hours because I was exhausted and things hurt. I just woke up off the
downstairs camping mat and managed to climb the stairs by myself.
Thanks for help with insurance but there is no need. The U of M submits the
bill to PPOM, which provides a discount to the insurance company. Then they
send this discounted bill to me (unless they forgot and billed the company
directly and have to redo it). Then I pay it. Up to $5000. After that I
only pay 30%. I have a $5000 savings bond.

RE#460 -- She was an employee at my credit union...I learned today that she
started there the year I moved to Ann Arbor. After my divorce we flirted a
bit and I almost got up the nerve to ask her out. Had I done that...well I
suppose she could have turned me down and still dated this bastard that killed
her....but who knows. The whole thing just really sucks. I always looked
forward to saying hi to her when I ran into her at the credit union....

Chris, I think there was an article about her in the front of the
Local section in Tuesday's Ann Arbor News.
I am really sorry for the loss of your friend. What an awful thing to
have happen.
