Contemplating my aging parents and their health after spending the day with my Mom in the hospital. This woman who is a pillar of strength and does yoga and swims and only eats the right things is facing the possibility of a stroke diagnosis. Today she is like a little girl and I'm not showing her my fear.

Now that is a conversation that is gonna stick in my head.....

Then there is the potential referral to counseling. I can understand a follow up call if a life threatening illness has previously been diagnosed and there is a change or tests show that something alarming is going on, but a diagnosis over the phone just sounds wrong to me. I am sorry for anyone who is directed to make such a call. |

Your poor sister! The shock and dismay it must have caused!! I can't imagine hearing "INCURABLE". The C word is scary enough..on any level, but to add the I word?! And, while I am relieved it's not your sister, my heart bleeds for the person getting this news, especially in the midst of this season. I know, the world doesn't stop because the holidays are upon us..it's just such a bad time of year to hear such devastating news. (not that there is a good time) And you're right..life is far too short...we are never blessed with the knowledge of what tomorrow will bring! Quote:

In working with surgeons who had to diagnose cancer all the time, I had many many patients calling daily, wanting to know their results. I guess it's just a personal preference. Some people don't mind knowing over the phone and some people do. I think it seems heartless for some to have to wait until that scheduled appointment in a week or two to find out those results. Let's face it, doctor's don't have the time to work patients in at the drop of a hat and if they did, it's a few minutes of their time to tell you this type of news and they are on to the next patient. |
That must have been scary Sleepy - I've watched 3 family membersdie of that damn "C" word that must have scared her shitless :|

Potential plans
|
I am going to venture out of bed today. My poor house has suffered unending cruelties in uncleanliness while I have been stuck in bed... I don't think anyone else knows how to clean around here...
|
trying very hard to feel better today..

Today is the 3 year anniversary of my dog, Matty, passing. I still miss her all the time... She was with me for 14 years. It's rather saddening to know I have to live the rest of my life without her. I still kiss her picture when I pass by and her box that holds her ashes...But it's not the same as the tangible. I miss having her with me while I hike. And the spots we shared... I feel like she's there sometimes...I only wish she were.
I will always miss that light that was in her eyes when we were in the woods...that spirit....That's about all I can manage at this time.... Much love and big hugs to my favorite furry girl...I will always love you <3 |
Friendships.
The importance of people in my life.. i really cherish a new friendship made. Very dear, thoughtful and i love when paths cross unexpectedly. She's a breath of fresh air, and her & her husband are such kind, selfless human beings. Very grateful for new friendships as well as the seasoned friendships. The ones who have brought such joy through the years. The ones who took moments of their time to extend kindness, and care throughout the years. Friendships near and far. i have some really wonderful people in my life, online & offline. And Mtn & i are very grateful for Our dear Planet friendships as well ....Such blessings! |
Just name it.. I'm thinking about it.
|
I am exhausted and cannot sleep. Here I sit in the kitchen eating a banana sandwich with peanut butter and potato chips. Chips must be in the sandwich and not on the side for it to be right. And have consumed almost a quart of milk. These sandwiches really bring on the thrist.
It is around 2:00 a.m. ... WTF???? |
Quite bluntly, sex.
Fantasies. |

That Beagle that is staring at me, thinking I want her in my lap and trying to stare me down. I think she thinks I will obey... She is mistaken Which of course made me think about obeying |

I'm always such a practical shopper when buying Christmas gifts. Why is this bugging me at 3 something in the morning? Ugh... I wanna give fun stuff this year. Time to rest in bed and think of things I can give that are fun...
Till I fall asleep. :hamactor: |
I recently got a job that I feel woefully under-qualified for. The place is way bigger and more professional, as well as more highly regarded in the industry, than my last place, the place they hired me out of.
You can see the post here > http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...887#post695887 < about my last (3rd) long interview just before they offered me the job, if you care to read it. Occasionally, one gets to find out the answer to something that they usually would never find out. I found out what it was about me that made them hire me. It was a sentence I said during my 3rd grueling interview. Usually, I imagine that no one pays attention to individual sentences like I do. I love writers and good writing. I am an exceptional reader, hence my screen name, not because of the volume of reading that I do, but because of the quality of my reading and the attention I give to things I read, especially those things I like. It's like being a good listener. I know a woman who is absolutely the best "listener" for readers who share their own work with her. She is a retired English teacher and she did the same thing with her 7th grade students when they read their poems and creative writing pieces to the class aloud. She gets comfortable and then she closes her eyes and appears to be drinking in the sounds of the reading. She tilts her head as if to fine tune her hearing and she basically makes readers feel like they are the only sound in the room. She follows her listening with such great feedback. So, I feel lucky that the "big" boss, my boss' boss said casually during a conference call that the reason they chose me was because of a sentence I said during that last interview, which he repeated verbatim: "I like to wreak order from chaos." He works in pharma, but I bet one of his personal passions must be reading. I had been wondering why they hired me when I didn't know their software, systems or therapeutic areas. I still think they could have found someone better in those ways than me. But, sometimes, I guess, even corporate America still makes decisions based on things other than keywords. Who knew? |

Surgery
Friends Christmas The real reason I am still not asleep Memories Regrets Pleasure My girl always and you |
I'm starting to feel like I did before I needed bypass surgery...I'm hoping it is just the exhaustion of working so many hours, but I'm worried I started eating right too late.
Hi Ho Hi Ho, it's off for tests I go... |
How much my head hurts...I have a migraine, luckily I only get one every couple of years.
I have been thinking a lot about past relationships and how everything we do and every decision we make moves us in new directions. I have also been thinking about what I want in a relationship, what I expect and will accept. It's hard to focus though when your head is pounding. |
