Attaching and thanking you for the title - which is something I’m not sure I would have believed even a handful of months ago, but which now feels more true every day.

A REAL friend will sit you down and tell you to your face to stop being a firetrucking idiot before you ruin your life and the lives of those around you.

Just a bump up. I survived my hysterectomy only to have to jump into a tooth implant and now (not because of the implant) I'm having issues falling asleep; as in at my desk, in meetings, in the car!  :o
So now I'm banished from driving until my doctor can set up an emergency referral to a neurologist. My S18 is now my chauffer for the time being. I feel like I'm physically breaking down all at once!  I wonder if I'll be totally refurbished and come with a new warranty!  ;)

Not quite the paint-drying that we all were wishing for you. I am sorry for all of these challenges but you are facing them with grace and strength and good humor. Wishing you swift healing and the chance to find some calm waters as 2021 goes on.

Attaching. I love reading your updates SF. 

Glad you recovered well from the hysterectomy. Praying for your neurology appointment.

Hope they can get to the bottom of it, SF. It’s awful to be so tired and not being able to drive feels so limiting.
Hope you get an appointment soon!
