The doctor called with my latest blood work results. The Lyme test was negative (thankfully) and there are no obvious indicators of any specific illness. However, my "sedimentation is still high" so she recommended I see a rheumatologist. Hey, sure, why not. What's one more doctor's appointment?
In other not-so-hot news, I discovered a 2-day-old voice mail on my cell phone from Cunt Shirley. We haven't spoken in over 3 years and I'd bet dollars to donuts she's calling to sternly tell me I need to take a leave from work and temporarily move to Michigan to stay with my mother who was released from the hospital last week. She's really good with the "I know what's best and if you cared about your mother you'd do this" guilt trips.

Call. Maybe it will make your leg feel better.
Is there another family member you could call and get the info you need? I tend to cut "poison people" out of my life.
Hope you get off the doc-go-round soon. Take care.
Don't call. Shelley is right on. If there is some other way to find out what you need to know do that, but otherwise, if it's important enough she will keep calling until she gets a hold of you or find someone who can get through to you.
Hope you get answers/relief for your leg pain soon.
I lean towards the DON'T CALL option. If its really THAT important she, or someone else, will get in touch w you.
If it's important, she can leave a voice mail with some damn information in it! If it isn't...oh, well.
My vote is for "don't call" also. If she didn't leave you any information, I'm thinking it's a guilt trip call.
i also say don't call. you really don't need to deal with it. i wish i hadn't called. seriously.
I would say that you shouldn't call. Cunt Shirley seems to really enjoy controlling you, and if it was very serious, I'm sure you would have heard this from a more reputable source that CS. And yeah on the no lyme thing!
Everyone's comments already say what I wanted to say... don't call for all of the aforementioned reasons and good luck with the new doc!
I was in a situation very similar to yours about four years ago. I had a certain Penis Third Cousin Twice Removed who was trying to figure out a way to get guardianship of my mother. He would call me every day and tell me grim news and berate me. He even got some other relatives to call and berate me. He wanted my mother declared incompetent so that he could go and apply for Guardianship.
I wish I hadn't called them back. It ate up my life completely. I was terrified that they could get guardianship. I wasted a lot of time researching it out, only to discover that when somebody tries to get guardianship, the courts first give guardianship ad litem to one of their own lawyers, and possibly later to a family member, but not necessarily. This is not a wise thing to do.
My relatives all wanted me to stop teaching and pack up and go live with my mom, on the other side of the Continent. She wouldn't come and live with me to make things easy. And she wasn't able to understand that all these people were machinating to get control over her estate.
A good friend of mine whose husband is a lawyer told me they were careful *not* to try to get guardianship over their mother, because of the problem outlined above. What they did was to get somebody else to go live with her so that nobody could complain.
Another friend of mine had this problem with her grandmother. So she hired caretakers. The caretaker was a problem now and then, but not nearly the same problem as the Other Relatives.
So if you call Shirley, she will see that she can get your goat and just keep on doing it because she's nosey and has nothing better to do. If you talk to her, it should be very brief conversations, and don't reveal anything.
Can you hire a live-in or part time caretaker to check on your mother, and have them report to you? That way you'll stay in charge, and won't have so much to worry about. Any chance she would come live near you in an assisted living?
I hope the doctors get to the bottom of this soon and relieve you from this leg pain!!
If there's any chance Cunt Shirley may have some information of interest re: your mom, then call, but otherwise, no.
