Five more days, just five and this will be resolved. Gee..then it's back to the battle of over-due taxes. I need a vacation from bills...sigh..it would be so nice. Sitting back, looking at my desk, and knowing that only the regularly scheduled bills need to be handled..miss that too. I have been buried in red tape since January of this year. Sometimes I can picture myself sitting in my chair with a whirlwind of papers zipping around my head, ducking and dodging paper cuts, trying to bat them away.
One very good thing that is quickly approaching is Mel's visit. We had planned some off time to just hang out, but she will be the lucky lady who gets to pick up my butt post-op. I want you to know Mel how much I appreciate that. I have never felt so alone as I did the day I had to call 911...there was no one who could help me, and rolling on the floor in pain sort of dismisses the ability for cognitive thinking.( plus increases the fear factor x100.) Having you here will be like a gift.
I am sure there will be plenty of times that being alone gets to me..family holidays, birthdays, etc. For the most part I am ok with it, but it does sort of make you feel very isolated and out of touch with the rest of the world. Holidays are especially meaningful to me, and it's going to hurt sitting here alone. ( and I am not cooking a turkey for Gilly cat and me) I'll probably work just to take my mind off of it. I am grateful to have a job, but it exasperates me just how many people celebrate the holidays by gambling. I know it insures a continued job..but it also makes a clear and disturbing statement about life today. What happened to family? Some of the casino's busiest times are the 3 days prior to and including Christmas. Church anyone??
I'm still sitting here hurting and wondering when the doctor's office will ever return my call. I know if it does get worse, it will mean yet another ER bill. That will make 3 on this pleasant and delightful gallstone journey. (Damn it-again!)
Hope that everyone has a good week and weekend ahead. Wish me luck, I could use some.
hugs, k
Sorry for the gloomy entry-too many gray days and no sunshine baths on my porch, plus the stupid gallstones that keep me in pain. I know, I know..wah-wah!...sorry about that. As Monty Python would say " Sorry, I must have a cold."--the excuse for everything per Python.

It's only a flesh wound!
I will not be picking your butt up off of anything...you fall, you stay there until you can get up. I am not putting out my back for you! lol
Even though you are having your surgery during my visit, I am glad that I will be there to help you out, to dole out the pain meds. I do draw the line at wiping your nether regions.
I plan on making you laugh, as much as you are able to. I plan on making you walk, it will help with your recovery. If we get to do some window-shopping..all the better!
Here's hoping that you have no more gallbladder attacks!
Love, Mel
Umm..no need I can see for wiping or lifting. The office never called back either, and I am stubborn enough to not try again, I don't trust my tone. It will all work out. Either I end up in the e.r.or not, the stones are still speaking. Hugs and looking forward to your visit.
Just another day or so and all will be much better!! Big hugs! I will be thinking about ya!
Vicki
