told dad about my current health issues. his idea of sympathy is to blame me in a round-about way, then to offer all this advice based on stuff people have emailed him... as if not eating potatoes (or something similarly insane) will cure me.

i can't say that this is a relief. while i can't be accused of "lying" to him or "hiding" things from him, i'll be subjected to more of his hairbrained solutions.

this is NOT what i want or need. 70 minutes til i can go home, curl up in a ball on the couch, and commence my breakdown. i'm much too emotional/hormonal to deal with all this right now.

Just remember he means well, perhaps a simple my doctor recommends that I do this or that (ignoring the suggestion) (whether he does or not) will help.

let it go in one ear and out the other, hon. arguing treatments or comparing ailments with anybody over 55 is a losing battle. no matter what....they know more and they suffer more and they love to discuss it. because they're bored and generally their lives start to revolve around their health issues (this sounds familiar....but i'm only 27!). nothing makes a bunch of elderly hens happier than comparing remedies for constipation. trust me on this one.
