Welp, I'm alive. It was a traumatic stay in the hospital after surgery, but I survived. Geez, some people should not be allowed into the medical profession (I'm speaking directly to a couple of nurses who had 0/10 on the bedside manner scale). I think hospitals should do personality tests on people as part of the hiring process. I'm talking borderline neglect and malpractice. I've never felt like less of a human being in my life, and this was supposed to be the best hospital in my area. Oh well, it's over. Now the road to recovery... |
Well at least all that is in the past now, onward to brighter days. |
Surgery in four days. I'm terrified, mostly because I don't have a lot of support (none really), and don't live in a very recovery-friendly environment. Home is reason enough to feel depressed, but trying to get better in a place I can stand being in.... Well, that's my state of mind right now. It's a big surgery that couldn't be happening at a worst time. My life is in turmoil, and I'm terribly depressed...and alone. I should probably not go through with this, but it could be worse if I don't. |
You guys are the best. Thank you. I'm very interested in that 'Recovery Room,' Runoffscribe. Two-for-one, huh? That'll calm my nerves. I appreciate you making me smile. :) |
I believe in your strength. You could have called me insensitive and frozen me out. But you smiled. Now I even feel better about my experience. I believe in your strength. Anyway, I went back for Pet Night. A Husky is hair-of-the-dog over ice. I had a whole team ... |
Best of luck for a speedy recovery so that you can feel like you have some control again. |
Hi, Whatever it is that you have to do --- be assured, it should be better for it. This is a road you go on alone, if there is someone to hold your hand, nice, if not, there are others (me included now) who will wish you the best outcome at the least distress - as we say in Starwars - "let the .... "oh drat, I forgot the rest --- go well |
My first try at using media (music) prompts. This is the way I heard the song.
Happy Birthday to the WDC community! Thanks for being there for me when I needed you. |
Nice! I didn't have a chance to partake in this challenge. Too much going on around here. If you're looking for some fun to keep celebrating, this item is still running for a few days. "Angel Roulette Wings" |
I wasted my gift of an upgraded membership on depression. I keep thinking that writing will pull me out of it, but I just stare at a blank page. It was helped to read others' works and review them, but that eventually wears off too. I don't know what to do. :*( |
I just took a break. Music does it for me. I go back to songs I might have forgotten. Old Casey Kasem American Top Forty shows will send me on music safari and remind me that much of what is so "old" was done as well as anything produced today. I defy anyone to show me a modern recording artist as good as the Eagles. I also re-read. Admittedly, the test of fiction is how well it holds up to modern sensibilities. But, when I see these outdated social roles and perceptions, it has a fresh influence on my work. These were the things that got me writing in the first place. Now, they help me to understand how the world and I have changed. Sometimes, they show me when and where to fight those changes. You are among friends. |
