venting

[Guest guest]

Hi Terry!

I read your note and just had to respond. My son is 6 and he, too,

has a wonderful imagination. His outlook on life has changed mine. And,

like your son, he likes to act out scenes from movies. We've been fortunate

that our windows are intact but your story reminded me of something actually

quite funny that did. My older son, Tyler, was watching a Jackie

Chan movie and was doing his own thing not paying attention to the

movie...or so we thought! In the movie, Jackie was wearing a wire and

watching the bad guys. One of the bad guys was on to him. He made Jackie

sing so their conversation would not be heard over the wire and remove his

clothes so he couldn't go anywhere. All of a sudden, stood up,

started singing and removing his clothes! Tyler and I were laughing so hard

it took a while to tell he needed to put his clothes back on and he

really shouldn't copy everything he sees on TV. I'm really glad has

such a great imagination; he just needs to learn what is and is not

appropriate!

> good morning, never thought I would be doing this but I need to release

some internal pressure this morning before I combust! My son decided to

shove the screen out of his second story bedroom window early this morning

to help reinact a scene from a Harry Potter movie. I could hardly believe

my eyes when I saw the window (which he showed me!). He has talked about

various movie scenes from various movies (like daily) and we have talked

about imagination and how its all pretend so many times. Earlier this week

I went to a visitation day at his school and was so excited and impressed

with his attentiveness and mental growth --- I swear that everytime I think

we have made a step forward in one area there is a giant leap backward in

another and its like an uppercut to the jaw! It caught me so off guard

today. Thanks for listening. Think I will e-mail his father at work so he

can deal with his mental attitude before he comes home tonight!

Terry,

I am so glad that you got that out on here! I often

have the same problems with Tim understanding fact and

fiction. Thank God, he never opened a window! The one

thing that I try to do is to tell Tim when he is

watching a movie (Harry Potter is his favorite!) that

that is not real and that REAL people can not do this.

Maybe we can search and find someone that has some

good advice in this area. I will let you know if I

find a professional that would be willing to speak

with us on this. I am glad that he didn't fall and

hurt himself!

I need to vent right now, and this seems the best place to do it. I have

the appointment with my heart surgeon on Tuesday, and triple bypass

scheduled for Thursday. I was told I needed to arrange for a referral from

my PCP in order to have insurance coverage. Now, the PCP isn't the one who

referred me, it was my cardio. But the referral supposedly has to come from

the PCP. So, I called the PCP's office told them what I needed and why,

that if they had any questions to call the cario. I contacted the surgeon's

office about something, asked if they had the referral, They didn't have

it.

So I called the PCP's office to find out why. I was told they needed more

info, so I told them to call the cardio's office without saying anything

about already having told them to do so. I also called the cardio's office

to tell them they should be getting the request.

Today, I again asked the surgeon's office if they had the referral. They

didn't.

So, I try to call the PCP office and keep getting an answering machine that

they are either at lunch or on another line. Doesn't make sense. So, I

called the local office which is associated with my pcp's office, they are

open. They tell me that my doctor isn't in today, but in Bouse and

nobody is in the office. I get the phone numbers for the Bouse

office. I call the first one, find out it isn't my pcp's office but rather

the number for the adjoining office in . I call the other number, at

least someone answers the phone who also works in the office so she

knows what I am talking about. But, she says they are waiting for the info

from my cardio. She assures me they will get it straightened out by

Thursday, I tell her I need it by Tuesday. She promises to call the

adjoining office to see if they can find anything which has come in from my

cardio. She says she will call my back. I also call my cardio's office, get

an answering machine that they aren't in Havasu on Fridays anymore, they are

in Kingman and gives me the Kingman number.

I call the Kingman number, different people than from Havasu office, nobody

in Havasu office, she promises to leave a message for Havasu office to take

care of on Monday. I also need to leave now to go buy an open front shirt

to wear home from the hospital as they say I won't be able to wear any pull

over the head shirts for a while, certainly not on the way home. All my

tops are pull overs. Thanks for listening. Nor sure if I am going to take

the Xanax before I go shopping or wait until I get back.

Whew...what a pain. Praying for you now Jan that the Lord will pull all this

together in an amazing way. You don't need this stress right now, you need to

rest before surgery!!

Hope you found the buttoned up shirt you needed.

I'll be praying all this week for you and your surgery on Thursday. Keep us

posted!!

Yes, Jan. And if I might add, if you could have a nephew or niece or close

friend, keeping in mind that after they will still be members, but if you could

get someone to join this group, and then post updates for you, you have friends

here who will. Have no other way to know, and as I said before, when Penny was

getting her liver I was biting my nails, not knowing. By the way, if you are

reading, Penny, hi to you, hope all is well.

I bought two shirts, but had to try on about a dozen to find some that fit.

It is hard to know what size when the different brands aren't sized the

same. One I really like, it is loose and will be easy to wear and get

on. And it is one of the smaller sizes I tried on too. Long enough so if I

have to leave my pants unbuttoned at the waist it won't show. And it is

dressy enough that I can wear my spike heels with it if I am able to leave

the hospital in them. I will be taking a pair of lower, clumpier heels

along, and maybe some flats too, just in case. But if I have to wear the

flats, I will have to pin up my pants so I don't trip on them. But I paid

more for each of them than I usually do. I am used to going to the discount

outlet here, Bealls, and just finding whatever I like for $6.00 or less, but

that doesn't work when you have to have something specific. Thanks for all

the prayers.

One thing I haven't checked on is if they have internet access at the

hospital. If my daughter brings her vehicle, she has a computer built into

it. So, I will have either her or my grandson who is coming with her join

here. Not sure if it would do much good for him to join. He isn't much of

a communicator.
