This may get us to Page Four... That's three plus one. Or two plus two. My head is still fine, doc.

..Or two times two...

I wonder if the original doctor at the clinic would have been more likely to prescribe the migraine meds I was requesting.

I had had a migraine one time before, and I told him that.

I'm getting a migraine reading about your migraine.

Panni · « **Reply #94 on:** April 17, 2004, 05:40:01 PM »

Oh - I thought 90 would get us to 4. Well, what do I know. Take me away, doc.

Jennifer · « **Reply #95 on:** April 17, 2004, 05:40:50 PM »

Yeah for page four.

It's almost time for Trading Spaces.

Me, too. ....Getting a migraine reading about it, that is. $:-\$

It's very chilly here in Los Angeles, California.

I didn't even realize we were on four!

I think you had a sadistic doctor, Jennifer. Like the dentist in LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. IMHO anyone who makes you do three-part math problems while you're lying in the hallway of a hospital is KRAZY.

Well when you put it like that, it's pretty funny.

I still wonder how he knew that I would have been able to that problem period.

It's weird but I can still remember him taunting me.

The hallway wasn't so bad actually. It wasn't like it was at emergency, or there were many other people. It was right in front of one of the nursing stations. There were a few other patients, but they weren't distracting. And I just lay there for the night hooked up to an IV.

Ionesco or Pinter.
Migraines, math problems, mistaken pages... A touch of Gilbert and Sullivan, as well.

If that's your idea of "not bad"... I'd hate to see what you'd consider hellish.

Just popping in to say hello... so... hello! Will soon be off for an evening with friends, celebrating my good friend Briar's 30th birthday.

Then the next couple days will be focused on my finding a fairly inexpensive used car. My current car has been making some nasty noises while braking the past few days. Took it in to the shop today, hoping it simply needed new brake pads... well, no such luck. The minimum estimate to fix the mess is more than I want to spend on this car which I didn't plan on keeping all that much longer as it is. Now for the fun of getting an auto loan and all... blech.

Jane · « **Reply #106 on:** April 17, 2004, 06:11:55 PM »

Great, now I have to worry I might be asked math problems. Is it the SNAKE PIT where she doesn’t remember her social security number? I think that is why I don’t want to know mine. I can’t feel stupid for not remembering.

Those math questions really were bizarre.

Re: medical bills. When Gabe was hit by the car two years ago, we incurred well over $13K in bills within just the first five minutes of his treatment at the trauma unit. Truly unbelievable.

Is the word migraine used for severe headaches in France or is it just for any headache (mal de tete)? To me a migraine is nowhere near a headache and only a migraine sufferer can tell that. Strange that I rarely suffer now that I am no longer at work.
Different topic: It has taken YEARS to get there but I watched "Death Of A Salesman" (Hoffman) last night.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #110 on:** April 17, 2004, 06:45:43 PM »

We complain about our health service here (the hospital waiting lists) but private health insurance is quite affordable. I would not be without it. Public health benefits cover emergency sugery but "elective" surgery (eg Hip replacement) can be a long wait if you do not have private health cover.

JMK · « **Reply #111 on:** April 17, 2004, 06:59:35 PM »

We're dealing with this whole insurance issue now as Betsy has, for the first time in her long and varied career, gotten laid off (her job always provided the benefits in our household as I am self-employed). So now we are paying through the nose for COBRA since private insurers will not handle us until Gabe's arm is pronounced cured. I got my new ASCAP member services booklet today and they offer health insurance, so we may go that route. It's truly incredible how much COBRA is costing us--almost $1000 a month!

DR TomofOz: A headache is an annoyance, an inconvenience and a bummer, but one can function if one must with a headache.

For me, migraine -- which I suffered one or two times a year when was very young, and which I've suffered maybe four times as an adult, thank goodness -- afflicts me with pain so severe I can barely lift my head, I can barely see so sensitive do I become to light, and makes me extremely nauseous. The quicker I can be knocked out the better. Mine have never lasted more than 18 hours, but recuperation can take several days getting back up to speed.

Good evening one and all!

Re: the Danton thing. I just finished watching Montreal beat Boston (huzzah!) in Game Six of the first round of the playoffs on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada and they didn't mention Danton ONCE in their entire three hours of coverage. Including the between period interviews and hockey news (!) sections. Weird, eh?

The Habs have forced a Game Seven and I am beside myself in happiness. I know what I'll be doing on Monday night

Pogue - I wish more screenwriters followed your rules.

Have the "classic" migraines myself. Resulted in my being on limited superanuation for a few years - side benefir was I didn't go to Vietnam! The only time I have been thankful for migraine. Now have medication that works but I still not worth being near for 24 hours or so. Can't stand light and noise at those times.
At least we have another topic!

Medical costs in the USA seem to be horrific - good case for travel insurance when I go there.

bk · « **Reply #118 on:** April 17, 2004, 07:57:14 PM »

Oh, it's much cheaper and simpler to DIE in the US than have to pay for medical treatment. At some point something went horribly wrong in this country.

I got through 50 minutes of LOST IN TRANSLATION and tired of it. I will finish it, but obviously not today.

Also finally saw THE LITTLE PRINCE in its entirety. Lovely score and the movie on DVD looks better than I've ever seen it look. A couple of sequences are heavy handed but much of it I find quite charming and most entertaining. The surround sound is most welcome, too.
