Okay, I need to vent...

Donna, I'm right there with you today! I too had an awful doctor visit.

Good luck on your job interview. I know you'll knock them over with your intelligence and wit.

Carole, I just talked to Donna on the phone
tonight and she sounds pretty confident about the interview. Sis, I'm giving her Pittsburgh prayers that she will get the job.

The interview went VERY well. I should know by the end of the week if I have the job or not. I'm confident.

The downside is that it put me in more of a depression. Why? Well, because it brought back a whole lot of memories of my father. He was a photographer for the newspaper. I'd drive by (it's right near I-95) and if I saw him sitting on the back of his truck smoking his cigar, I'd honk the horn and he'd wave. Plus I saw a whole lot of the guys from the photo department who came out as I was waiting, to tell me how very much they miss him and what a wonderful man he was. I did everything I could not to cry before the interview. But boy did I make up for it once I got in my car and after I got home.

I'll let you guys know the minute I hear anything. Thanks for being such great friends. Don't know what I'd do without ANY of you!!!

((((hugs)))) That was really sweet of the old guys to tell you how much they appreciated your dad, that had to make you feel better! (even if it did make you a little sad). Will keep our paws crossed you get hired, and get good benefits. In the meanwhile, is there a community health center that can help you with some low cost meds to hold you over? It's worth a couple phone calls to find out. Hang in there.

**I just emptied my checking account today to pay off the dentist...this is a new dentist so I have to cover everything up front. UGH, guess I really should have gone into medicine for a career

I'll quickly step down from my soapbox but I find it intolerable and unbelievable that every American is not afforded reasonable health insurance. Anyway, Donna, if my ex boss hadn't mentioned Cobra to me, I wouldn't have known either, having had no reason to experience it before. Thank God for Medicare (temporary I hope) and supplemental insurance or I'd be up a creek without an oar. I hope and pray you get the job you want with good benefits. You need that ear taken care of. I hope your dad's wonderful spirit infiltrated the interview for good luck
Before I had a prescription plan, my family doctor gladly gave me endless supplies of samples of Zoloft and anything else I needed. Maybe your doctor will too if you explain. You can't just stop an antidepressive suddenly. Good luck.

Donna i am so pleased all went so well and you sound really positive about it all, but i am sorry you felt so sad and i can understand why, but what a lovely tribute they payed to your beloved father, isn't that awesome, Hugs Donna I know your heart is heavy, but i hope you hear soon about the job and all goes your way and that will help you feel a little better, i sure hope you can get that jolly ear seen to though.
