Yes, he realizes I'm not in control of something like this, but there's only so much leeway he can give when someone misses so many performances.

And yeah, I've been to the doctor twice. And I'm on 4 different meds for this thing. And the side effects make me loopy, slightly uncoordinated, and alternately tired and like I'm going to jump out of my skin. And the doc told me I probably shouldn't play or march this weekend. And I might just do that tomorrow if I'm feeling up to it.

Holy shit. That's ridiculous. Makes me really glad that the only thing I have to pay for when I visit the campus clinic is meds.
