Oxford sucks!

I received a letter from them when I got home on Wednesday night. They denied my appeal, so now I have to appeal that with the state. I'm so frustrated! I really don't get how they can make a judgement on criteria that was last examined in March! Things have definitely changed since I've been on the Mobic. I hate to admit it but I guess sometimes rat poison does do some good. I really don't want to take this for an over-extended period though. It's destroying my stomach.

Between that, this weather and some new medical mystery that has appeared I'm feeling pretty crappy physically. In all other respects though I'm good. I've been enjoying myself immensely lately. Last night I went to an gallery opening for Christopher Orr. His painting were very interesting. On my way out the lift operator said there was a huge opening in the main gallery so he dropped my off by the back entrance so I could go in without any hassle. :-) The art was not really to my taste, but it was nice they had food out as I was feeling a bit peckish. I also happened to meet a guy who owns a gallery and we got to talking about things so I will definitely keep him as a contact. Afterwards I went to a brill restaurant, Pipa, down by Union Square. I highly recommend it, food was delish and the sangria was pretty good too. After we went to Union Bar and just vegged on the couch. The music was nutty, one minute they'd have cool stuff on, then horrible rap thrown in - the dj was schizophrenic - but it was fun. I did miss the pool yesterday but will hopefully be able to go tomorrow, assuming all works out at the doctors today. I had to hunt down a doctor that could see me as my internist is out till Monday, so fun fun, an appointment at 2. Hopefully they'll suss out what is wrong. Like I said the other day, if it isn't one thing... Then again, I can't say my life is dull. Ha ha!
