I am blaming it on my 'roid rage...

So, I am usually a calm driver.  I have a short commute - 3 miles each way.  I don't get bothered by much. 

Usually.

But this week, I am laying on the horn at other drivers!

Beeeepppppp! Automobile

  • This made me giggle.  No worries, we've all been there.  My commute is about the same, and I swear some days it feels like the longest drive ever!

  • i lose it every night on my way home from work!  i have a six mile commute and there is a small section that makes me nuts!!!  people constantly cut over from left turn only lane to avoid waiting in the straight only lane :(  it is so dangerous (people who actually need to make the left turn try to drive around the cutters by going into lane of on-coming traffic).

    i lose it all the time!!  follow rules and have some patience.

    How are you progressing?  When do you think you will have your ER?

    I am doing fine, I think!  I go in tomorrow morning for my first check, which is standard with this protocol.  I will have stimmed for 7 days by then.  My guess is ER next Thursday (I usually stim for about 11 days or so).

    I didn't realize (or remember - more likely the case Surprise) that you are in Houston.  Who are you seeing?  I am with Dr. Griffith at HFI.

    I literally have one of the easiest commutes - Rice Military to River Oaks.  No highways.  One school zone.  I think it is just the old people that don't know where they are going that are killing me.  Don't the realize that I am hungry and I need to get to Chick-Fil-A right now for some chicken minis????

    I had an initial consult with Dr. Hickman, but ended up going with HFI.  Dr. Witz is very good friends with Dr. Griffith.  But he isn't my favorite - not because he is a bad RE or anything, but he ended up calling me with my 2nd IVF to tell me I was m/c.  Dr. Griffith was out of town and I had to get the bad news from Dr. Witz.  Not his fault, but that is how I remember him.  Poor guy - telling someone he didn't know the bad news.  I don't know if you remember LCB34, but that was her RE too.
