Blinkers, please!

-
I finally have a place to put things that really piss me off. Ahhhhh! To coin a phrase that I heard about people who don't use blinkers..."They ran out of blinker juice." I think it is pure laziness and rudeness. It's one thing if you are the only person on the road and you need to switch lanes but if you need/want to get over and cut the person behind you (usually it's me!) off, road rage starts to fester. I can get over those people who pull out of a driveway and go slower than the speed limit. Those folks I can go around, eventually. Why do the auto makers bother putting blinkers on cars anymore? I think I see about 3 people on my way home from work use them (I work in Troy and live in Chesterfield twp.).

It's plain consideration folks... it would be nice!

My favorite place for driving is on 696 when the walls are up on both sides, traffic is bumper to bumper, moving 90 miles an hour and people are cutting back and forth across all three to four lanes.

I was almost side swiped by a Miata this morning. He was in such a hurry to go to work that he didn't take a moment to be sure I was done using that spot. Then, as I was turning right, he almost back ended me. I DID have my blinker on so it wasn't a surprise that I was turning. I wonder what he would of done if I didn't. Jackassholes!!!

heheh a bit from the ohio connection..try the turnpike where truckers don't need to drive in the right lanes..they drive ALL over. LAst time i drove to Toledo some fugger ina log truck tailgated me for the entire 2 hr ride..no other traffic he could have passed me easily but decided not to and kept blowing his horn. I wasn't in the left lane i was in the middle i wsa doing 10 over..not like i was going slow when i turned inot one of the rest stops, he had the audacity to flip me off. lovely thing...a wonderful Ohio highway patrol officer seen that he wsa tailgating me as i pulled off and took off after him =)...never the less we seen him as we got back on the turnpike..and i had to honk and wave *GRINS*.

OK here's the poop on the Dermi today.  I saw Dr. Henderson and she is a resident at HF.  I went to see a dermi because of the previous post of my sores on my scalp.   She looked me over and was very concerned with the one I have on top of my scalp.  It's deep and she thought it could turn into a cancerous problem.  I did tell her that is where my previous dermi did the punch biopsy.  Dr. H brought in another dr for a second opinion and that doctor stated that if that wound wasn't closed up by stitches and I have lupus, the wound might not have closed up and healed properly.  So in essence, it made Dr. H feel better that it was the area of the punch biopsy.   So today, as I had a hunch, I was injected with cortisone.  That is something I never will forget but she was a lot better than my previous dermi.  She was gentle and gave me some breaks.  I had injections done to the side areas and my crater on top.  The cortisone ...

Ah the life of a lupie!  So much fun! A few days ago, I left eye started to hurt and I thought it was just typical crappy weather problem.  That started Wednesday.  Long story short... it puffed out and I had a fever of 101. Not a pretty picture at all.  It was a lot worse than this.  Just hated  how I looked and felt, especially with the holidays coming around and the noise. Anywho, went to the family doctor today and she gave me antibiotics (augmentin) and boy those are HUGE pills!  Plus she recommended a saline flush so why not.  So now I'm home and just wanted to update my blog since I haven't in some time.  I have been writing in my journal of my own personal thoughts but I like to keep my medical stuff on here so I can refer back. Ok, I'm going to lay down and sleep this pain off.
