I've been shot!
10.05.06 (3:55 pm)   [edit]

Doctor's appt (that my mother accompanied me on). I don't even recall agreeing to let her come along, but apparently we had a conversation when I was out of it last Friday and she invited herself. My BP yesterday was 100/55 (average for me). Today, 125/75.

Commentary from her included...
* What happened to your hair?
"I got it cut about six weeks ago. It's too short and horrible, I know."
 
Looks from her of total digust at my hair. My deliberate short answer thought it would kill it. But no.

* Did they use a razor or a dull scissors?
" I have expressed my dissatisfaction to the salon owners. There's not much I can do but let it grow."

* If I were you, I'd sue them for what they did.
"Mother, I know my hair looks like shit. I do not need you continually bringing it up." 

Then in the office with the doctor. I'm talking to the doctor and she interrupts me saying that I've been bleeding for two weeks since my colposcopy.

I look at her and tell her that it isn't correct. Doctor intercedes and says "Mom, let HER tell me about HER symptoms."

Later the mother goes on about how I was bleeding for 2 weeks. I gently tell her that I only had the procedure two weeks ago today and I'm quite sure that I only had bleeding for 2 days.

The mother kept going on about how the service sucks here and that they should be doing more for me, blah blah blah. 

Doctor tried to pacify her but told her exactly what I've said all along - that there's limited services available.

But I did get my flu shot. *I think a tranquilizer might have been better.

Flu shot? But you're cute when you have the flu!

Somehow, the way you describe your Mom, I keep seeing Rhoda's Mom on the old Mary Tyler Moore show from.. oh shit, probably before you were born. I think it was Nancy Walker...

I'm miserable when I have the flu. But I still get the shot every year!

And yes, Mary Tyler Moore was before my time. Did they even have tv when you were a kid?

We had a prototype model... took up the whole room and had a two inch black and white screen.

I actually do remember when the my friend Doug's family got the first color TV on the block. We'd go over to watch the Wonderful World of Walt Disney on Sunday evenings. It was one of the only shows SHOWN in color back then. Must have been around '62 or '63. (Ya know, when I was still under thirty.) If I remember, all the coverage of Kennedy's funeral was in black and white in late '63, but maybe I just remember watching it at home. We didn't get a color TV till around '66 cuz before that my Dad thought it was a fad that wouldn't catch on. Honest.
