Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
So just to catch up. I have a tendency to sit on my glasses. I've done this twice now in the last six months. So Hubs and I went to the optometrist and he is a super nice guy. Fixed my glasses for free. While he was repairing them my Hubs was chatting up the woman who worked there. I tuned into their conversation until I realized they were both ignoring me. I started trying glasses on and finally found one I liked. Turned out they were Jimmy Choo lenses. He's a big name in the shoe business. I did not know he designed glass frames as well. It figures the one pair I tried on that I liked were the most expensive ones there.
Then I was talking to the nice man fixing my lenses apologizing for sitting on my glasses once again. His response "thats okay we're only human" I said oh, but I'm an android. He chuckled...........then I went back to being ignored by Hubs and the chick working there.
Anywho, I guess I'll go count sheep now. Trouble with me is when I do this, I picture the sheep jumping fences and grazing and next thing I know I'm thinking about everything but sheep. Sigh.................
"We all know why people become doctors, don't we?"
Back when most doctors were male;
Back when most nurses were female;
Doctors became doctors to marry a pretty nurse, because they just did not have time
to date after work. imo.

He answered: "The man didn't pay his bill".
Lol.
Here is your test answers within 10 minutes!
Anyone who can still cook the great things you do (dinner thread) is A-ok mentally. In addition, you passed the PJ test, he married you!
So, I notice a diagnosis might depend on where you were found, and what one said when you were picked up by police.??
Does anyone have any qualms about hanging out on the brat thread then?

I haven't seen Gershun around for a long time.....

My first official mental health license was as a QMHE - Qualified Mental Health Examiner. Mostly worked in the Emergency room on Friday and Saturday night. Police would bring in people for evaluation. If they came in naked saying they were hiding from the CIA or Russians - pretty good bet was they were having a schizophrenic episode. Passed out naked on the sidewalk - usually a drunk. Really a high tech positions. Actually working the ER was a good gig. In a rural health hospital in WV or rural Maine not very complicated back in the late 90's and early 2000's. Now it's opioid, fentanyl and heroin overdoses...one after another. So sad I could cry.
I would be so concerned of their disappearances, that I could not sleep. This is because my Father owns the cattle on a thousand hills. (Sheep).
Of course there are sheep.
999 of them.
Re: Counting....
Don't they have sheep in Canada?
Re: Testing...
I have observed the tester, after the first correct answer, to NOT be following the answers given. Apparently, if you are 1) able to follow directions, and 2) get one question correct, YOU PASS.
Asking the tester to first take the test, well....that would be being a brat. Most could not do it.
We all know why people become doctors, now, don't we?
Ok, because you also had trauma to the head, would you mind being put on the brat list for the mini-mental exam? If so, check in whenever you want, it will save so much on doctor's fees. For you, and for Lizzy.
Counting backwards from 3 would be a whole lot easier than 7.
Because for those subtracting with their fingers, it is easier to use just one hand.
I just cannot accept that CWillie would be so bad as to be joking around that much, lol.
Is it true CWillie? Are you a real brat now? Welcome.
Rye and coke! I’m guessing that wasn’t Rye Bread! Too funny!
I always know what day it is. Unless I have the need to be in front of a calendar, which is rare, I do loose track of the date. Is this a warning sign?!? LOL. I better start practicing keeping up with that! It would be an answer that would be good to have for my future exams.
This experience has taught me one thing for sure. SLOW DOWN! Not necessarily what I try to accomplish in a day but at the speed I try to accomplish said tasks! No more moving my feet at 100mph.
I do not have the grace of a gazelle, never have. If I don’t slow the heck down I am just asking for trouble.
I actually asked my brother the other day, what day is it, and he did not know the answer, said it did not matter, that he did not care since he retired recently.
His results: depression after retirement. I will check back with him in a month.
If I remember.
Hubby did make a comment that my pea brain might have fallen out when I bopped my head. Not true I have proof!
I feel like I have completely recovered. I have to admit I was worried there for a couple weeks. I could speak a sentence but I found myself searching for the last word. And just a general feeling of being “spaced out”.
Since I typed that last post I opened a piece of mail. It was a refund check from the glass company. I paid them twice during the whole head injury fiasco.😬
Anyway, I usually do get copies of more important test results. I have a file. I have it on my list to do next week.
I do have a normally scheduled checkup with PCP on 4/30. I think he will be surprised I can now pass the field sobriety test that I failed so miserably in his office during this fiasco.
Given my family history, I think mini-mental exams on a regular basis are in order.
When my eyes were being tested, I had to admit to the O.D. doctor that I was no longer sure if I was memorizing the letters before me, or seeing them ok.
Answer this: "Who is the president of (wherever you live)". Don't say the name, it is enough that you know. lol. factoid: I just don't want to hear it said out loud. Mwah ha ha ha.
I had an MRI in the year 2000, and was grateful it showed a brain in there, somewhere.
Get a copy of the test results, read it.
Use it later to document to your family whenever they make jokes about your brain functioning.
I hope you have recovered completely, or soon. It is not a reflection on your brain if you had to fire a contractor.
Come back often, and the brats here will give you a free, mini-mental exam. lol.
Yes, a high-end sort of environment, they also sell glasses. But there was no pressure, I had to leave in a hurry. When the person helping me pick glasses found I was not buying the Givenchy @ $230 for the frames alone, she dropped me like a hot potato and went on to the next commision. The manager brought me the rose-colored frames.
We dress up and do not "appear" as budget minded as we must be. My black slacks could be from the year 2000 and nobody would know, lol.
My MRI declared a “Normal Brain”. My family does not agree!
The dizziness, lack of balance, and not being able to think my way out of a paper bag was off and on for at least 2 weeks plus a few days.
Took it easy for a few additional few days. Now I am back to 100%. Bahahaha!
I am behaving badly! I voiced my displeasure, forcefully, this morning with frustrating contractor doing home repairs. He has been relieved of duty!
I’m so done. Stick a fork in me.
The few things left on our home will be done ourselves.
I will find someone else or we will handle the few things that need to be dealt with at the farmhouse my son and DIL live in.
Grrrrrr! My frustrated, impatient, brain is clicking on all cylinders and I am behaving badly! Whoop Whoop
