Wow, I really appreciate it! I LOVED the make up stories in your head idea! That will keep me smiling-also the anticipate what's next idea. I used to go to an eye doc that was excellent, but had the most unpleasant personality in upstate NY. I decided that I would continue to go to him and instead of being intimidated by his comments, just listen and see if he could outdo his last set of insensitive remarks. I couldn't lose: either he was reasonable or I hit the jackpot and he said something really crass that made me laugh inside!
Thank you again, Racer, for taking so much time with me. I feel a lot better about the situation-I think you're right about much of it being venting and I just need to work on my part-not being stressed and just validating her experience.
