Bizi, It was mainly people who didn't speak english and elderly folks jamming up the aisles. Maybe they were talking about the Super Bowl, but I doubt it.

I did get a nap in before the game. I slept from about 12:30 to 4 and was able to stay up to watch the whole thing. I'm happy for Manning he got his 2nd ring and can got out on top (I hope he's wise enough to retire now cuz he's done), but he didn't win that game- his defense did.
I felt bad for Cam Newton and the rest of the Panthers. They played such great football all year, but the better team won. Newton is an excellent quarterback though, and he's young. He'll get to the Big Game again. Their owner seems willing to spend the dough to keep the team very competitive.
I do feel vindicated that the Bronco's defense kicked the Pathers' butts just like they did the Patriots' though. Everyone was so hard on Brady after the AFC Championship, but the Pats put 8 more points on the board than the Panthers.

I got the first of the two new pill cutters I ordered. Like most splitters, there's a rubber mat that's designed to prevent the pills from sliding out of position, and a window to check to be sure the pill is aligned properly. It can cut through a 400mg uncoated seroquel horse pill perfectly and very easily, but it's pretty much no good for small pills. They slide out of position too easily even when lined up properly and too much of the pill gets crushed.

I use my PCP's "patient portal" and read my last visit summary. There really never is a summary, but I noticed he added "major depressive disorder" as a diagnosis. I am mad and extremely disappointed in him. He's an excellent PCP and usually he listens to me and doesn't jump to conclusions, but I'm ****** because he went med-blind the last visit and now he thinks I must also be suffering from an erroneous depressive disorder because I'm tired all the time?
But I can think of a couple of things that may have stirred that up in his mind though. He must have forgotten about the s/s attempt and asked about the scar on my neck (how you can forget about that I don't know), and he asked again about reducing the seroquel and I said I couldn't because it also treated the PTSD and intrusive thoughts and he kind of shushed me. Or maybe he felt my desperation to find a medical reason for the fatigue because I want it to be temporary? Maybe to him, all that turned the medical visit into a psych visit once the labs came back clean.

Anyway, I have the appointment with my neurologist today. I forgot to mention almost everything I wanted to on my last visit, so I made myself some notes. Now after the **** with my PCP I have it in my head that my neuro will treat me like just another psych patient, too. If he does, I'll just offer up pdoc. My neurologist has a much better understanding of how meds work on the brain than my PCP does. If he decides that the meds are what have exacerbated the fatigue, I'll accept that. But I absolutely refuse to fall into the psych pile.
