Just call me “Elaine”

Are there any Seinfeld fans out there? Do you remember the episode where Elaine is "black-listed" from all the doctors? I think I’m on my way.

My Mom suggested that I call another MRI location to see if they could get me in any faster. They can, as in tomorrow. In order to do this, I had to call my doctor back, go pick up my x-rays and scrip which meant crutching it for about a half mile in the dreaded doctors office building, and have them call for an authorization number, etc.

I don’t think that my doctor’s office was really happy with me and all my requests today; but I now have an MRI scheduled for tomorrow and an appointment with my surgeon moved up to Tuesday. That’s definitely better. The lady at the MRI place also assured me that my claustrophobic head will not be in the tube. I repeat, NOT be in the tube. I’m relieved that things are moving along now at a little faster pace.

And now onto some treats. . .

I got this little treat award thing from Andrew. What a doll! Thank you. I needed that.

I’m supposed to give it to five people in need of/deserving of a treat, so here goes:

Karl of 2HT: Karl is like the funniest dude around. His blog always brightened my day, but lately Karl is down in the dumps. Hope this cheers you up Karl, because you always cheer me up.

Chris39 aka Marcus Aurelius: He’s like my comment sidekick and fellow fantasy football player. He renamed his team "Areu Kidding Me" which rivals my "Stickaforkinme" name. We’re clearly on the same wavelength. He doesn’t currently have a blog because he says he lacks material. I personally think he just lacks time, but I’m all for him continuing to be my comment sidekick instead.

Jenn at Maniacal Days is in the early days of becoming a parent of two. It’s sort of a rude awakening and she could totally use a treat.

J at Thinking About deserves this treat, because I have been such a lousy commenter/reader over there. I’m just totally self-absorbed right now so I hope the treat can suffice until I can get back there.

Adam has been my email pep-talker as of late. His emails make me all teary in a good way, but his encouragment makes me feel like this too shall pass. Plus, I totally owe him one since I told him I was going to put him on my blogroll like a bazillion years ago and just got around to it, finally, last month. Sorry Adam!

I’ll get Halloween pics of the girls up tomorrow. They had a really good time and looked so cute.

In other news, I joined that whole NaBloPoMo thing which means I have to post every single day in the month of November. I figured it would give me something to do. You’ve been warned. Things could get crazy around here, and I may have to bring in guest posters to fulfill my obligation if I have to have surgery. If I do, I’ll expect video serenades, just so you know. Things could get really interesting around here.
