Where were you?
I stayed home Friday. After having it out with my insurance company over the phone, I broke down and decided that I needed a day off — a “mental health day” as my mother likes to call it. I had been vaguely aware of the date, but ...
Dreams are cruel
It’s been a while since I’ve posted “personal stuff”. There are a myriad of reasons, the biggest being that I work for a company that has a huge online presence — including blogging and social networking. Being at UAB,...
It’s What They Don’t Tell You
Well, it’s been an interesting experience. I learned that no matter how many times you re-read the literature the doctors give you, talk to friends who’ve had a procedure done, or ask questions of anything and everything you can think of...
Recovering, and thank God for drugs!
Welp, I made it through the surgery OK. My stint in the recovery room took a little longer than expected because the anesthesia made me sick, so they wouldn’t let me leave until I felt that I could keep the coke and crackers they kept shoving ...
Surgery is next week!
I saw my surgeon yesterday — well, actually I saw tons of people. My surgery is scheduled for next Wednesday morning. I’ve already had my pre-admission blood-work done, talked to the anesthesiologist, spoke with several hospital staff w...
Update on my health …
I just got off the phone with my doctor’s office, they finally received my test results — I have gall stones, and will need to have them removed. They’ll be referring me to a surgeon, I requested Brookwood Hospital because they too...
Pain is bad, mmkay?
Looking back, I guess it should have struck me as strange that I wasn’t at all hungry Tuesday evening. I’d taken Jessie to work with me Tuesday and we had Stix for lunch. I just assumed because I’d had a huge greasy meal that I wa...
It’s not personal
Wow, it’s been a week already. I think last week was the longest week I could remember in a long time. *shrug* I had a chance to have lunch with some of my (now former) co-workers Friday and someone remarked, “Wow, you’re handli...
Here I go again … I’ve just been laid off
I’ve always said that you know the situation is bad if you’re called into a meeting and both your supervisor and the head of HR are attending. That was exactly the case today. I was just about to grab my things and head out to lunch and ...
Out of context, out of line?
This afternoon, Jim (unintentionally) gave me quite a scare. When last I saw him this morning, he was going to head by the house then on to work. I remember pulling onto the highway and watching him roll onto the lane going in the opposite directio...
News of Fravia+
I received an email from Father Luke this morning with news that a mutual friend has fallen ill … Fravia+. According to a post on his site, he was diagnosed a little over a year ago with a tumor — a metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of t...
Reflection and call to action
I received a text message from a friend late last night which said: “Now I know how you feel when Auburn wins.” Jim woke me up last night to tell me the news. While the three-ring media circus leading up to this event is finally over, I...
