| ...but I don't think I'll be posting actual blog entries here. I mostly have this account still so I can post replies on other people's xangas. I think you all can keep track of me on my facebook or (shudder) myspace.

| I just used some old-ish Mary Kay hand cream. I guess it fermented or something because now my hands smell exactly like Play-Doh. Just thought you should know.

| Today's doctor visit was an interesting one. Kind of left a bad taste in my mouth, tbh. Last time I went there was a good experience, but today was just weird.
First the nurse came in and asked some questions. I told her my problem was the same and I watched her circle "unchanged" on her little pad. Then the doctor came in and said, "so I hear you're feeling worse this time." I probably looked her like she was crazy and said, "No...."
Then she asked if I was using this certain treatment (intentionally vague here) and I said "sometimes" because last time they told me to use it AS NEEDED. But nooo today they said I was supposed to be using it every day. And I could just tell they were thinking "NON-COMPLIANT PATIENT" and they kind of treated me differently after that. At least I think they did, but maybe it's just because I'm in school and we always hear about those heathen noncompliant patients, and I didn't want to be one of THOSE. But seriously, I know exactly what they said before, and they did not say every day. 
I don't mention that I'm in optometry school unless they bring up school in small talk or whatever, but sometimes I want to scream, "I AM IN OPTOMETRY SCHOOL AND I HAVE SOME WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF HUMAN ANATOMY! AND YES I KNOW THAT TRIAMCINOLONE IS A STEROID!" I know they're not trying to patronize me. It just seems that way sometimes. And I'm sorta depressed b/c I've already been on a steroid--a stronger one--and it didn't help. But I have to let them figure that out themselves I guess. What's another 7.5 weeks when I've had this problem for almost 2 years.? 
Okay, time to meet the hubby for lunch. :)
