MD, the mental image of you pulling a large and chunky out of your rear was lovely! Thanks lol Bummer about your boss. Perhaps the new person will be really cool and you will find a new friend? Sucks about the sleep clinic I can understand how much you must be looking forward to it, just the hope of some decent sleep in the near future is enough to keep marching on with

Cass, if you can remember the aha! moment for your childhood avoidance I would love to hear it!
Doesn't overly surprise me that your notes were 'missing'. A cousin of mine had twins and went into pre-term labour with them. She was in hospital being monitored overnight when a new Dr came on shift, took one look at the baby heart traces and said 'this baby has been in fetal distress for 24 hours' so she was whipped off for a c-section. Her son was severely brain damaged and when she asked for the notes and traces they had disappeared, along with any chance of compensation for her son.

Trill, that is so wrong about your Dr. Does he make money out of the surgeries?

Like everything W does, it is a normal thing taken to the extreme. Like today, he came to me in tears because he remembered something that was used up a month ago (glow stick when he went camping). I guess it is an anxiety thing, everything is. As soon as we make progress on one behaviour another springs up to take its place.

I went to the optometrist the other day to get an eye check so I could get some replacement glasses after E broke mine the other day. I have had these for 8 years! I hate picking frames. Of course the only ones I liked were in a colour I didn't like so they have to order in the colour I want and I have to wait another 2-3 weeks I guess I will keep taping these ones up until then.
I got the optometrist to tell me what colour W's eyes are because they are quite unusual and we weren't sure. He said they are almost perfect green, with hardly any other pigment which is apparently quite rare. I hope E's eyes change to the same colour.
