asterrocTwo amusing things happened to me today.
Secondly, I was just a block from my home, when there was a car on the left, another car double parked on the right, a woman getting out of it, and a cat in the middle of the road. I looked at the cat. It was looking at her. She looked at me. And we both started laughing. The cat did NOT want to move, not for funny faces, didn't even look at my car, and finally she had to make large gestures to get it to skittle back some three feet so my car could squeeze by. The whole sequence amused me immensely.
And firstly, I had a check-up at my dermatologist. This city is full of health professionals, but many of them are in research, or in training. About 50% of the time I go to my derm, he has a resident check me out first. I don't mind this at all, as it gets me to think about my condition in a different light (not that it changes anything, it's just interesting), and as y'all should know by now I'm all for education, in any form. It also gives me someone new to chat with, and while I'm not as bad as my Dad, I'm definitely more chatty than most. This time it was a young Asian woman, and she was delighted to see me. She told me that she is doing her residency at the hospital, so while she's seen a few patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (she knew what it was, but stumbled over saying it :-P ), they've always been emergency cases, and she's never seen someone just living with it. She was really so excited and bubbly about it, that it just made my day.
