Suzanne Locoweed
Yesterday, Trish & I went to see Dr. Lockwood, or as my spell-checker renders it, "Suzanne Locoweed". Trish got out of bed around 8:30, because I woke her up; when the Benadryl is in her blood she naps in. We hung around Iron Claw House for awhile, ate hot dogs & chips, then went upstairs to see Suzanne. I was concerned about Trish's oculogyric crises, & asked if we could switch her over to Risperdal. Yet since the haldol is working so well, Suzanne was reluctant to do that. Instead, she cut Trish's dose in half, & added a low dose of Risperdal.
We went to Western Drug to fill it, & I bought Trish a pop at El Taco Loco on the way home. Some rude person walked up to me on the way out & said, "Did you stare enough?"
I shouted, "I'm partially blind! It's not my fault!"
The woman laughed & walked out the door as Trish called her a motherfucker. Trish felt she'd done it because she was Indian, & even though I was hurt, upset & mad, I didn't succumb to racism -- white people do the same thing to me. I don't care if the woman didn't like my "staring", what bothered me was that she laughed when I told her I have eye problems. She should've apologized for being rude, not laughed & ran out the door.
The good news is that I found a detailed outline of Arn this morning -- around 30 or 40 pages. I haven't really read thru it yet, but this evening I'm going to experiment with my scanner, & see if I can scan it into MS-Word. If not, I can at least read thru the thing -- something I had trouble doing when I first discovered it, as the ribbon was grey & the type small. But this should expedite the reconstruction of Arn greatly, & I should be done with the new Part 2b soon.
Next week, the Perky Pam Layout is going camping. It will be an opportunity to look at Noncorean wonders, & finish the book I'm reading, assuming I bring along a magnifying glass.
