Yay Frank! Always good to get a diagnosis of something acute that treatment can provide immediate relief for.
Zoe: Captain will come up with a plan. Kaylee: That's good. Right? Zoe: Possibly you're not recalling some of his previous plans.

The thing that gets me about New Orleans is how much tourists don't see of the city. It has been (and is) a city with a lot of troubles. Corruption not the least of it, and most tourists wouldn't even know that.
I have been to the city many times over the year and it startles me the contrast between the drunk college kids (etc) in French Quarter and the rest of the city.

SRSLY! I was afraid it was going to be another "keep doing what you've been doing" which really didn't seem to be cutting it this time. Which is part of what kept me from getting to a doctor ASAP. I'm not sure I physically could have, but that psychological component was definitely an inhibitor.

Yay for getting it checked -- that infection can affect the rest of you for sure, so getting it nipped is a big win. It's so tough when chronic problems mask something like that -- if you're used to toughing it out, you're less inclined to bother a doctor when you "know" what the answer will be.
(I speak from my own experience -- given my IBS, I could have cholera for a week before I'd think there was much out of whack.)

Bing! Bing! Bing! Thank you, Theo, for articulating exactly what I've been feeling since yesterday. It's something I'll bring up with my PCP when I do the follow up with him this week.

I'm glad you went to a doctor, Frank. Not only is it good that it's fixable, but also it could have gotten a lot worse.
Newt just said that Romney is too dishonest to be president. It's the charred remains of the pot calling the kettle black. Heads exploded across America.

I actually think this is the case.

Newt and Romney are both lying liars who lie, but Newt would say the sun sets in the east, and then tell people who challenged him that he'll provide proof after the debate. Then he'd say "sets in the east" was taken out of context by the liberal mainstream media.
Or, as you said, Obama for a second term!

So glad you went to the doctor, Frank!

This is so true. I don't have chronic issues myself, but have definitely seen it in others.

But...but in Newt's second term we get to live on the moon! Don't you want to live on the moon???
