The following message is brought to Alex as a Public Service Announcement...Fred Meyer has organic valencia oranges for 88 cents a pound this week. They are very ugly oranges, but they are awesome juicy!

Uff, I so need oranges right now.

Sam, I've already checked online for the town they live in. There's a small grocery (not a chain), so that's out. I didn't see any restaurant chains. I think there was an Ace Hardware store... Oh, and a JC Penney.

For WDW???

So I got a thick envelope of my medical records from my HMO to give to my new doctor. I have a bone to pick with them!!!

It seems like every time I go to the doctor now they think I am stressed out from cancer. WTH?? I have a problem with my sinuses and they apparently think I'm worried about cancer? No idiot, I have a problem with my sinuses! I had the problem before I had cancer and still have the problem!

I went for a general physical exam from my regular family doctor about a year after I finished chemo. Had some general questions. So what does he write in my file you ask?? Had 17 non-cancer related questions to ask, that were typed up. Seems to be denying cancer related issues and stress over cancer, didn't even mention cancer? WTH?? What I would like to know is how this idiot doctor thinks my discussion about hemmoroids & taking calcium for my bones after menopause is denying cancer? I talk to my oncologist about cancer...why does my family doctor think I need to talk to him about it also? Shall I just ignore all my other medical problems just because I had cancer? I told him I was having some racing heart palpatations at times, but thought maybe they were related to menopause. Instead he decides (without telling me, but writing in my notes) that I am experiencing delayed panic attacks from earlier denial about breast cancer. Again WTH??? I am not in denial dude, I'm pretty aware of everything that went on. Now I don't know if I want to give these medcal records to my new doctor or not.

I should be sitting on a jet plane right now on my way there. Darned car insurance and property taxes anyhow!

Do they live within driving distance (say 50 miles) of a larger town? We don't have a lot of restaurants or stores in our small town, but we think nothing of driving 30-40 miles for dinner or shopping. It's kinda what you do when you live in a small town.

Well my medical & radiation oncologists both had very good things to say about me and how well I responded and made it through chemo & radiation with a positive attitude.

The ear, nose & throat specialist thinks I'm a hypochondriac and when I complain of sinus, mouth and ear problems he assumes I think I have a brain tumor. (Idiot! I'm there because I have sinus problems! If I thought I had a brain tumor I would go see my oncologist.).

My family doctor thinks I'm in denial because I came to see him and didn't mention the cancer (well DUH because I got rid of the cancer, I don't have it anymore and I discuss cancer with my oncologist). He also mentioned that I was in severe stress right after my diagnosis (that was when I told him I didn't want any (insert bad word here) valium, I wanted my cancer cut out now!). But now seemed to be in denial. Well here's a clue I was in severe stress 3 hours after my cancer diagnosis, but apparently that torturous chemo & radiation treatment seems to have mellowed me some.

Jump on a plane, come have fun, don't pay the car insurance and let the county foreclose on my home because of unpaid property taxes. OK, sounds good to me!

hahahaha...you so funny, ... no really it is in the fabric under the button...I am ticked..

Grab a needle and thread, smuggle it past airport security and mend the hole on your way to WDW. You have nothing better to do on the plane.

I told you that you'd better quit wearing those glasses. It's going to cause you to freak out after those babies are crawling around and you have 8 of them headed for you all at once!

gee Ali, what kind of doctors are these people..do you float down a swamp to see them....umm, you should have been upset over the cancer..its gone now so what do they want you to do ? go crazy and then they get to put down that you need help for that...

 

[staley7580]

I truly don't think my DD is ready for college level courses. She had to write a paper that needs to be turned in tomorrow. It is to be double spaced and approximately 3 pages (typed) long. She spends the first 1/3 of the page with her name, title, etc... then has about 2/3rds of a page of information, another full page of information and 4 words on the next page!

Oh well she say's that's close enuf, it's only a rough draft to be handed in tomorrow anyway!

Needless to say I don't think she has the same love of education that I did! Not only that she came home and was thrilled to have gotten a B on her sociology test. I would have been freaking out and trying to get extra credit work so I could get back up to an A.

Hi Staley,

well, I guess I could take them off on the plane and fix them....
