webdancer-deactivated20111120-d asked: Sorry I didn't reply sooner about the fan. I found a web site that just has parts for old laptops and I was able to put in the brand and model and it brought up a list of parts. I hadn't thought of new egg but will look at it. Thanks for the suggestion. I lost track of your situation. How have things been going? What did the doctor say about the MRI?

MRI scheduler person: Hi, Jessica, I noticed they just scheduled you for MRI's on September 8th and 9th. I actually have an opening tomorrow if you want to get two of your MRI's done sooner.
Me: Oh, I can't. Tomorrow I'm having a lumbar puncture.
Scheduler: Ok, so tomorrow won't be good.
Me: No, I imagine it won't be a good day at all.

What celebrity do you most resemble?
I was told once that I resemble Katy Sagal or, more specifically, Peggy Bundy (from Married With Children). I don’t see it. I think it’s the red hair. I would much rather look more like Katy Sagal as Gemma in Sons of Anarchy. She kicks ass and I love her. ;)

webdancer replied to your post: Tegretol is a nasty, nasty drug.
Other than the side effects, how is it helping you? I know sometimes the side effects negate any benefit from the med in the first place.

Tegretol is a nasty, nasty drug.
I am is not liking the side effects and my face is still hurting.
And I’ll probably end up with aplastic anemia or that other horrible blood disease with my stupid luck.
And despite having a lovely visit with momma, I’m not having a good day.
Just sayin’.
Do you live in Tennessee want to see Lady Gaga on...
I have a Fibro friend, disabled and unable to drive, who lives in Cleveland, TN. She desperately wants to get to Nashville on April 19th to see Lady Gaga in concert, but has no way of getting there!
She is offering anyone who will give her a ride to Nashville (and back, of course) a ticket to the Lady Gaga concert.
So if you live in the area and are interested in seeing Lady Gaga, and...

I never have money, so unfortunately, no. But I will reblog to help get the word out. :)

Can I have a dollar?
M’kay, so I’m trying to help my niece raise money so she can make it to her High School All-Star basketball game in Albuquerque. My mom and I will be contributing to this fund, but there’s just no way our family can foot the entire bill. This is a huge deal for my niece - think talent scouts and scholarships.
All I’m asking for is a dollar. And for your contribution to my...
This question comes from the book "Sing You Home"...

My niece is a big-time basketball star in her high school district. So much so that she was the ONLY girl in her district chosen to participate in the NMHSCA 4A/5A Girls “North vs. South” All-Star Basketball Game.
However, nothing is free, so she needs to raise about $200 to cover food, lodging, transportation, and additional fees to participate.
She deserves this chance. She’s...

Just watched the first episode of the Japanese...
It was pretty good. They took a story line from the original series and changed it a little. I giggled a little seeing Sam and Dean Winchester in anime form.
The best part?
At the end, they played Kansas’ “Carry On Wayward Son” but it sounded like it was sung by a Japanese guy at a karaoke bar.
Fuckin’ awesome. >.<

webdancer replied to your link:Fibro Blog: Why you should obtain copies of your medical records and testing results; or, A Lesson Learned the Hard Way
That’s insane. Is there any indication of why they gave you the diagnosis they did especially when the truth was in your record?

After my car accident in April 2007, I had various CT and MRI scans of my spine. Though I knew something was wrong with me, particularly in my neck, my orthopedic surgeon and primary doctor assured me that the scans came back showing nothing. It seems they lied.
