Time for an update update May 19th 2009

Hello all.

Physically, feeling very good. Still have some slight stomach pain which when it occurs is quite excruciating but fortunately goes away quickly. The GI doctor (gastrointerologist, for those of you not in the know) says this is normal and to expect it for a while. Still no answer on if/when I will start remicade. Probably not till I get back from the Big Apple, if then.

I am trying to resolve my Social Security disability situation and it is extremely frustrating. The good folks on the SSA phone line have no idea what they are doing and I am not at all confident that any information or status update they give me is in fact correct. Also, apparently I owe them some $13k for an overpayment; don't ask me how that happened. They sent me a waver form which is over 20 pages and which I have to return by June 12th. I only glanced at it; I just can't deal with that right now. Thank goodness I have a lawyer in the family. :)

Going to the Dodger game tonight. It's Jewish Community Night, which I imagine means they will only serve kosher Dodger dogs and Joe Torre and Tommy Lasorda will dovet at home plate. When anyone makes an error, Vin Scully will refer to it as "a farstinkener play".
