Racer-
Keep the SO, fire the doctor. What a thing to say!
It sounds like you found yourself a good job and co-workers you can live with. You should be real proud of yourself.

I also found some comfort today! After I quit my regular job I applied to work for a "temps" company. They have been more than patient with me and my problems. They actually found a job just for me that, while it didn't pay as much as if I was doing all the things I'm capable of doing at work, it was much less stressful. I agreed to take the job, but my husband had to call in sick for me from the emergency room the night before I was supposed to start work (I was busy throwing up in the sink). So I thought, well that's it.

I called them today, not to ask for work, but to apologize and thank them for their patience. The woman I talked to, Nikki, said, "But we're holding the job for you!" I was astonished. So I told her I couldn't start working yet and I had to explain why. I'm supposed to be taking Dilantin for seizures, but I don't want to. They gave it to me in the hospital and it knocked me out cold. Although I almost certainly passed out from the drugs in my system, I thought it would be safest to not drive for a week or so just to make sure there was no reoccurrence.
Worse, both of my arms are covered with ugly bruises from my hands to my elbows...not from falling, but from all the needle sticks in the hospital. Apparently I have "deep veins".

Then Nikki said, "Call us whenever you feel like you can work. We're holding the job for you until then." I had to thank her and hang up before I started crying. From time to time I am reminded of the inherent goodness in people and it always
affects me deeply, probably because I tend to lose sight of that...

Racer, enjoy your new clothes, your Guerlain, and
your new job. You deserve it.

Gracie
