Today is Nada's 6th Month Cancer Check up... let the games begin!

[Guest guest]

I'm not going with her.

Why?

1) She didn't ask (she's just emoted about it for 4 days but won't

directly ask me and I REFUSE to play 'guess what's wrong with Nada'

anymore).

2) I really can't. It's the end of my academic year (as in, if I don't

make an Aug 31 deadline, I lose ALL $$).

3) She has had NO contact with the cancer center since she blew up in

Feb (the incident that landed me in the therapists office - where I

still reside - weekly).

(Mind you... this is the " cancer " that was the lowest possible next-

to-nothing situation. This was treatable with a single lumpectomy no

chemo no radiation... SHE milked it, blew it up, tried to get a

double Mastectomy so she could get a boob job... told everyone she

was dying (and got pissed off when I told the family

the " stage/stats " ) etc.... She played 4 Dr's against eachother and 3

Plastic Surgeons'... it's been a ride...)

Interestingly enough, when I went to the therapist (who's office is

located in the same building where Nada's " cancer Dr " is) on Monday, I

ran into the nurse who was in the room when Nada went nuts in Feb. She

said, after hugging me, " OHHHHHHHHHHH... I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO glad you're

still here! You DO realize that your mother's issues started long

before you were born...right? " . We talked more (I was 20 minutes early

for my appt). Turns out Nada hasn't returned any calls. They had no

idea where she went. Nada is physically " done " with the Dr's

and " cured " so they're not terribly concerned. These are the same

people Nada claims to be seeing today at 11am. Veddy interesting...

I'm sure tonight will be fabulous.

Nada has been coming " after " my son again. Verbally berating him, in

that horrible incideous backstabbing undercurrent way... he's been

seeing the therapist with me, too. Getting those walls up. He finally

asked her to leave the room the other day because he wanted

his 'bubble'... she was offended but did as she was asked (amazing). I

only wish I had that skill as a child... or even as an adult...

She wants me to " schedule her in for coffee " this coming week. Last

time she did that she ended up screaming at me at Round Table until

she

stormed out when my dad walked in. I have school as a 'wall' right

now... so she's pretty much out of luck right now... but I can see

this

train coming down the track... sigh.

Trying to take one hour at a time...
