Well, I met with the lawyer friend of my old boss last week, and it looks like things may move a lot more quickly than I expected! We talked for 3 hours, and while doing so, he pretty much decided that this position might be a full time job...that he would want to hire soon! We definitely need to flesh things out more before starting it, but I really liked him and think that we could definitely work together. When I left, he was going to speak to my old boss about "sharing" me one my old boss' business gets going, and then contact me about several people he knows who already have someone working for them in this capacity, so I can contact them and learn more. He left me a voicemail Friday night, but has not called back since I returned his call and left him a message to call me whenever. I'm not quite sure if he is looking for me to be the one to press him on this, as doing that would definitely be my job should I be hired...but since I am not yet working for him, I don't quite know what to do. I emailed my old boss to ask if they had spoken last week, and what, if any, decisions they had come to. No word from him either. Gah...

As for the doctor's appointment, he wanted me to go on the next higher level drug before getting off of them. So I'm now trying that for a month, though so far the results are the same. Sigh...
