I'm not sure when I became such a weenie, but a weenie I am. We were catching up on Grey's Anatomy tonight, and during both episodes, I started crying for pretty much no reason. Now I wasn't choking back sobs or anything. I was just quietly watching while tears streamed down my cheeks. I'm not sure when this started for me. I used to not cry at anything. And then I cried at sweet baby commercials, but I thought that was just because I was dying to have a baby. Now I'm crying at television dramas? It's a little sad.

Mia is feeling much better, and thanks those of you who asked. I've tried different types of food for her, all vet recommended, and still she has the same problem. I'm seriously considering visiting another vet for a second opinion. I like my current vet office, if not the vet so much. The nurses (are they nurses? or vet assistants?) LOVE Mia and are really great with her. The vet himself is a little bit standoffish, and sometimes seems like he doesn't really care what's wrong. He sorta seems like he just wants to order a slew of tests for the sake of ordering them (and for the sake of me paying for them) and not for helping her. I've never once seen him review her chart or history, though it's entirely possible that he does that before he comes into the exam room. He's nice enough, but it's been 4 years, and a few thousand dollars later, and Mia still gets horrid ear infections constantly. So I think after this round of treatments, we might be seeing someone new. It can't hurt, right?

MY doctor, however, still has not called back with my blood test results. So yet another week has gone by where I feel crappy, and can do nothing about it. I decided I'd give her one week from my appointment to call with some information, and then I'd start being the squeaky wheel. So tomorrow I'll be calling at least once every 90 minutes to get some answers. I did, however, call my insurance company and ask for a list of covered doctors in my area, so that I can start finding someone new for me. I had to talk to no less than SIX people in order to get a list sent to me, but at least it's a start. I know from experience that it takes about a month of medicine before I start feeling better (assuming I'm correct and it's my thyroid that's the problem) so hopefully I'll be good as new by the start of 2009. Of course, the last 2 times I went on thyroid medication, I was a raging bitch for the entire month while my hormone levels balanced themselves out. So the Christmas/Hanukkah season should be especially fun for me this year. Oh goody!
