Re: Thanks for the support--Catching Fish

[Guest guest]

Hi Lesley,

I know how you feel about missing the " critical time " for some things--hearing

aides in particular. We keep getting put off because everyone is waiting for

the " definative hearing test " to be done after Evan gets tubes in his ears. He

has had 2 tests that alreay show significant hearing loss. This is scheduled

for the end of the month, but it probably would have been even further off had I

not been after his team to do it the same time he is having his urology

surgeries done. He will be almost 9 months old! But, alas, it is useless to

fret. I have kind of an off-the-wall analogy that I like to use to help keep

things in perspective (and if you don't like the same kinds of fish that I do,

then it may not make much sense!). If you have ever seen fish-mongers thowing

fish to each other (they do this at Pike Street Market in Seattle, WA), that

will help in the visualization. I'll put Amelie into the analogy for you.

Think of all the problems she has as different kinds of fish.

The pnemonia is a big deal--that's like a sturegon. Her upcoming

dissociation, also a big deal--mahi mahi. Hearing, important, but not as big as

the others--that's a farm-raised catfish. Now, picture yourself as the fish

catcher. And you have to deal with a bunch of fish-mongers pitching the fish

all to you at the same time. Would you like to catch all the fist? Sure you

would (particularly if you are like me--I hate wasting things--my husband thinks

I'm pretty OCD on this). But you can't. So you have to catch the biggest/most

expensive fish out of the bunch. Farm raised catfish--you can get that pretty

much anywhere. But mahi mahi on the floor...that's just wrong!

Hugs, Keep hanging in there, And FEEL BETTER

- Great analogy, but there might have been a freudian slip in there,

because sometimes catching all those diagnoses to deal with, might feel more

like a fist than a fish. LOL. Kim

> Would you like to catch all the fist?

Darn it--I read that over to make sure there were no typos--guess I got too hung

up on spelling mahi mahi right. A big 10lb frozen salmon vs. a fist would

probably feel about the same. LOL.

Wow ....loved this how easy it all makes sense with something as

simple as fish, mind you it took me some time to work out your fish

from our fish, in the UK it would have been Salmon cod and haddock!!!

but I worked it out in the end, lets get the big fish sorted first.

cheers Les x
