ok. there are larger problems in this world than mine.

There really are. But dammit, sometimes mine feel huge.

Today I called the recon surgery office to discuss a time table for my surgery, and found out that the surgeon I expected to work with is leaving the practice in December. Their chief of vascular surgery is taking over her cases involving DEIP/TRAM flap surgeries. So now I have to interview yet another surgeon. I hope that he is well experienced in this procedure and I don’t have to continue to shop around.  This is something that I have to live with till I die, so I have to make sure I have the right person doing this. I don’t know why I think that anything I plan is going to happen.

I guess that it is how things are with cancer. I mean, I know that it is how it is with life, but things seems much larger when you add disease into the mix. And others attitudes can really ruin your day.

I am also bummed that I am missing my 20th High School reunion. I wasn’t friends with many people in my class. My friends and I were considered big ol weirdos and a lot of people either avoided us or made fun of us, and so we kept to ourselves, but I still wanted to go see how people have gotten on in the world. I guess I just have to hope to get to the 25th or 30th if there is one.

I am excited that this weekend my xmas decorations will be (hopefully) brought down from the attic so I can start going through them. I looooove the holidays! John is not a fan. I am glad he tolerates my enthusiasm.

On to bigger issues. Again, those in Austin that have been affected by the floods need your help, so please volunteer if you can. If I were not in the shape I am in now, I would be down there helping them dig out. If you can’t get down there, please donate what ever you can.

Same goes for those affected by the typhoon. The devastation they are experiencing is unimaginable. Please send whatever you can via your organization of choice.

And remember- this is just the beginning of climate disasters of this magnitude. Do your part to help our planet. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Stop the throw-away attitude. Grow your own food when and where you can. Fight Monsonto. Fight big oil. Do not allow fracking on your property. Fight pipeline construction. Use renewable energy. You know what to do, and what not to do.

Right now I am watching the NOVA special on the Kennedy assassination. I still can’t believe that someone would murder him. He was a philandering jerk, but was an amazing president and his murder changed this planet in a negative manner.  I wasn’t alive when this happened, but like millions of others, I am fascinated by it and the era. I feel the same about the murder of M.L.K. An amazing man that was wrongfully taken from this planet in a violent way. It makes no sense.

bah. I am getting depressed.
Sorry.

 

Please know I love you, and please love one another.
