[quote]I wonder if the surgeon is allowing his work to get to him? If you think about it, all he sees are people in life crises, and if you are anyone with any amount of empathy, that has to play on you eventually. perhaps he has just shut down to preserve his sanity. I only know that I would not be able to do it. A friend, an oncology nurse, says it is the worst nursing job bar none. I can believe it.[/quote] He's a PLASTIC surgeon Doc...not an Oncolo

[quote]You have said some good stuff here. I hope we have a conversation similar to this as both of our old ass's are flying down the mountain. You can snowboard.

I went to get my boob filled today. Seriously. I bought a Venti Starbucks Skinny Vanilla Latte to fill my belly, then reclined on a table while the good doctor inserted a needle and pumped 100 ml of saline into the expander. I made him stop at 100 because my pectoral muscle was tweaking. But now I think he could have gone at least 50 more. I have 2
[quote]When I feel up to it again, I would like to put up a writing in honor of Chris. I know I haven't been on here for a while, but some writing therapy might do me good.[/quote] I think that would be wonderful Rose. Thanks for the donation information.
[quote]Interested in some Florida Oranges/grapefruit?[/quote] Oranges always! Grapefruit...love it, but can't have it with chemo. No one else in the house eats it. But thanks!

Not your fault the gov. wants to give you back some of your taxes. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Not like it's someone else's money.

[quote]Each day is now a special gift, Tova. Enjoy each and every one. Somehow, I know you will.[/quote] Because of my early life, there are very few times I've really ever taken this life for granted. I know how fortunate I am to be WHERE I am, WITH who I am. But you're right of course. I plan to squeeze every last bit of life I can out of everyday.
I won't be tested any further for BC spread. They wait for symptoms (like bone pain (bone), yellow skin (liver), headaches (brain), etc) before they do tests for it. Oh well. Even THEN they can't ever know for sure. But today? Today (aside from a little
Sounds like you're in the mourning-the-loss-of-adult-like-minded companions stage of "when a work-a-holic- takes vaca.." lol By the time it is over, a part of you will dread going back to the grind..... Well, maybe. [e digicons]|-)[/e] Imagine your family is very glad to see you walking around the house tho.

Five years ago, on JoeUser, I “met” UDig, aka Chris. I loved his sense of humor, his writing, the way he loved InBloom. Online acquaintance grew into friendship. Yesterday this vibrant, funny, talented young man passed away from health complications. God bless him. God bless Inbloom. May he rest in peace. His blog.
[quote]I call them worldlings because in St.John 17: 6-16 Christ [/quote] Like I said. I like it! Gonna use it too....just wait and see what creative places I find to insert that gem. [quote]Diamonds? Now you have me laughing and it feels good.[/quote] [e digicons]|-)[/e] [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
[quote] It strengthens, purifies and matures our faith drawing us even closer to God with the understanding the God wills only our good. [/quote] Amen. [quote]Christians are very different from worldlings[/quote] Don't think I've ever heard that term before. Worldlings...lol. I like it! For some reason tho, it makes me think of DIAMONDS. Big Sparkling HARD diamonds. </p
Awesome. Welcome back to the world!
[quote]That could be called carrying our cross.[/quote] Lol, Lula you are SO Catholic. I don't believe every Christian has a cross to bear, unless you call living life in a fallen world bearing a cross, then technically everyone carries it.
[quote] So while God is there watching over you, he allows you to go thru the fire only enough to temper you just right, never to burn you out.[/quote] So out of curiosity...what do you consider "burn out?" And on another note, that is what (for me, my issue) makes it so hard to take. I'd rather be suffering alone in a dark room, than be in it with someone who refuses to speak to me, or
[quote]Continued prayers and positive vibes your way![/quote] Thanks my sista!
[quote]We will pray and plead. There are a lot of good folks out here in cyber-space putting up good thoughts...some are bound to stick.[/quote] Thanks BFD. Somedays, that's the best I can hope for.
