Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Everytime you say that I chuckle and think.... " why wasn't I that lucky? " then I remember that my surgeon looks like a TV / movie star too....and has his exact personality. And that is that guy from Saturday night live (the old ones) and the one that played the scout in the " league of their own: Jon Lovitz, Levitz (?) I think. Not the swooning-over Clooney look, but a " famous " connection just the same! And he too acted fast. For both of my surgeries with him, the urgent one and the elective one, he moved within days. Even the gallbladder removal. I saw him on a Monday and by Friday I was under the gas again. In my case, that is the way I like it, less time to fret, and once I make up my mind to do something I want it done NOW. I may take a few years to decide (like going to the eye doctor for example - I am three years past due) but when I get the nerve to go through I need to do it right away. I am also trying not to be a big baby about things here too. I know that it is natural to be self absorbed at first - during the shock stage, but in the whole scheme of things, I have to maintain perspective. We will survive, maybe not the way I imagined, but then, who really can predict a future and it is not right to feel cheated when things alter course. I mean, it is as ridiculous as companies that claim that they made a net loss in profits, not because they actually spent more than they made but because they didn't earn as much as projected. They are still in the black, but instead of making 10 gabillion dollars they only made 7 so they whine that they are 3 gabillion in the hole. So I figure that whining over a future that isn't going to happen is just as crazy. Who knows what will happen. Maybe this will actually change things back to what it was before the changes of 1995 took place. Maybe this is the cosmos pulling the thread back into the weave. Hopefully I will find out something soon. I am still planning on taking off next week.......and if I come back to no job, well, I will just make the best of it. That is life. It could be worse. I am lucky to have what I have and I can figure out what to do about the meds too. Maybe it isn't too late to sue the doctors at least for my medicine costs. And then maybe I will learn that I really don't need them either, that they are just a crutch. I am trying not to use the zofran so maybe I can cut back to the 21 a month allotment that my husbands insurance will pay and if I can get the maximum strength like you mentioned, maybe I can make that last for 10 -15 days a month. I guess there is wisdom in the whole " take one day at a time " . How is your job hunting going? How are you feeling? Any news from your CT or surgeon? I am curious and am hoping that all is well.....that this is just a minor set-back. laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
