Pics or GTFO!

Cheshie?

I am no longer young myself, and age? I'ts both humbling and empowering. I cant climb a sheer cliff like I could when I was 25.

Nausea is not normal, even for 90 year olds, until last month my ten year romance with ethanol had me vomit more than once, I pay my doctors wages, if fobbed off with BS I choose another practitioner. I would shoot you, and a whole lot of other people besides, but my 98 year old grandfather is still doing well. Eat well, get good medical advice, live long.

My fellow CK,
Why does this feel like de ja vu all of a sudden? I know, we talked about this here before, although it was about someone else, and you should know better! So what if your doctor laughs at you? You will find out that you are fine, small price for knowing you are healthy! If not, you are given the chance to have something done about it, hopefully it's nothing serious, treated and goes away. Is it really that hard?
I have to see mine about once a month to keep an eye on things, and if I worried about him laughing at/with me, I would never go near him. I am lucky, though. He is such a hilarious man, he doesn't take offence when I tell him that I thought the receptionist told me that Dr Germs would be working today, and I asked the receptionist if he was new, inner thoughts going "what a ridiculous name for a doctor!", then being told that Dr W retired 3 years ago and Dr Germs has been there for 3 years since then... The penny dropping rather painfully - he means Dr J! He knows what an airhead I am (It's part of my "ailment" )and I am comfortable with him knowing. He knows how hard it was for me to admitting to doing extremely stupid things; yet now we have progressed from the embarrassed silence to laughter. He knows in the past I wouldn't go and see him if I was struggling, which was a lot of the time back then. He has given me the trust that if something is worrying me, it is worth seeing him about (obviously, I won't go and see him about something I can manage myself with over the counter medicine but nausea? There is something not quite right there.). And this is even without -me- having to pay to see him!!
To cut a long story short, go and see your doctor. You have children, whom you want to be healthy and happy. I'm sure they want the same for their mummy, too. Then let us know about the good news.

<rant> What's the deal with making me copy/paste your posts into notepad to read them? Do you think this will deter me in some way? Maybe you could put them in white font too to make it even more annoying. </rant>

[EchoMan]

I agree!

[Theda]

Me too...

Edit: Absolutely agree! XD

[Addicted]

I just CNTR^scroll. It's not a deterent, but bad for my eyes.

Thanks! I never thought of doing that.

[Indigo]

You read my mind *nods*

[Chroma Key]

In my defence, I only did it because the original rant was written that way... And I'm too shy to send a PM!
Google Chrome has a zoom option, that's how I read that stuff.
Sorry for the annoyance.

I just hit the reply with quote button and read it in the text box.

[gejyspa]

I was about to say that, Comy!

But yes, for us old folks, that small font size stuff is really annoying.

I had my interview today, which, thankfully, went pretty well, at least by the end of it. I was pretty tense at the beginning of it because on my way there, a torrential downpour type thing happened right after I got on the bypass (I could barely see through my windshield wipers on the highest setting) which caused me to slow down about 20mph to keep from hydroplaning like I was doing a little bit. Almost everyone in the lane behind me kept their distance which was good. But this person in a truck in the other lane came flying past me. I don't know if they were speeding or just doing the speed limit since everyone else was going even a little slower than I was, but I remember thinking when they passed me "you can wreck if you want to, but I'm not going to". Sure enough, about a quarter mile later, the rain cleared up just enough for me to see that truck sliding sideways off of the road, flipping and gaining air when it hit the bottom of the ditch, and slamming into the hill on the other side of the ditch upside down, cab first. I didn't stop. There was nothing I really could've done at that point. I know this. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself. There are some things I just don't want to subject myself to. I don't know if that takes me from being a hero like those I admire so much and makes me a coward, but that's just how it is. I called 911 at least, and the hospital wasn't five minutes from there, so...

*sigh* I can't unsee it though. I can't stop wondering who was in that truck. If I knew them. If they had kids. If I was the last person to ever think a thought about them while they were still alive. If I would be typing this right now had my boyfriend not called me back to give me a kiss and tell me good luck before I left. I was pretty much fine during the interview, just a little more shaky than I should've been at first. But that's the thought that made me break down just a little bit on the way home. I was supposed to go renew my driver's license after the interview, but I didn't feel much like driving anymore than I had to. Kinda put me in a pretty morbid mood. I think I'll just curl up with the laptop at my boyfriend's house for today, living in the much safer world of Cantr and watching reruns of SNL. I'm going to avoid the news as much as possible for the next few days (I really don't want to know) and I'm going to tell as many people as I can about what I saw. I think I'll be over it in a couple days if I stick to this.

[Cheshierekat]

Sorry! Next time I rant or vent I will make sure the font is legible!

Thanks guys. I am making an appointment and will let you know how it goes.

[Snickie]

Doug: Yes, the small font is intended to annoy you a little. I dunno why. I'm just in a weird mood today. Ignore me for now

Cheshierekat: as I was advised OVER and OVER by you (amongst others), go to the doctor! Don't question it like I did....in retrospect, I probably should have gone when I first started having problems, but I didn't go at all. I was probably lucky it wasn't serious. Make sure yours isn't serious, and if it is, then get treatment. Woo!

Edit: just saw that you said you'd made an appointment... xD Good!

Day two of six of clarinet camp a.k.a. a week in which some seven hours a day are spent playing clarinet. Woohoo!
Yes, that's why my charries have been mostly asleep the past few days.
