One of the biggest problems is because I am reading the news, I'll read an article which leads me to read further and I spend a lot of time studying a handful of issues and then,
bam, I find myself hearing about something for the first time, and saying, 'cripes...how did I miss that?' I am very glad to get other links from other people. So...I will share links, and I very much appreciate you sharing links with me. Keep them coming.

Today started out with quite an ice storm. School was canceled, but the worst of it was over by 10, at least here in town. The problem is that I live in a pretty rural community. Plowing and salting is done by prioritizing. The heavy use roads are done first, and the back roads are gotten to as they can be fit in. Having buses on those roads can be dangerous, and so, the kids got a day off from school.
Tim headed out to work on the rehab. I stayed close to home, cleaning the kitchen and quietly chiding myself for fretting. I've been waiting on some test results which, under normal circumstances, would have been received on Friday. I received a call which said that the doctor wanted previous images to compare things to. You may remember that I left the AHN practice I belonged to and went to a UPMC group, primarily because of repeated hospital inefficiency. The records were requested Friday morning, and were finally received today.
Sometimes, waiting gives your mind a chance to run wild...'why does he need to compare?' 'Is there something questionable?' After 4 business days, went from considering the possibility that something might be wrong to 'dear God. Something's wrong.' So. Basically, I was good for nothing this week. But those results came in today. Everything is fine.
I felt a little ridiculous.
So I went over to help Tim at the rehab this afternoon. He finished wiring the kitchen. We pulled nails and prepared walls and got ready for the next big step.
Jaycee complained about her yawn of a day. Well. I see her yawn and raise her one.
Hooray for Al Green. I love substack!
ReplyDeleteToday's news was a bit better. At least a lot of the worst stuff is on hold, thanks to some astute judges. I am reading as much as I can stomach, and trying at the same time to keep my husband from getting too stressed out and sinking into negativity. Tricky balance. I think though that the key to all of this is to keep our balance and stay level-headed. Hugs, Debby.
ReplyDeleteWe spend a lot of nervous time waiting for medical results.
ReplyDeleteI hear you about waiting for results. It's nerve wracking, especially the dreaded "well this wasn't here last year." Yes, but other ones just like it were. So why does a new one mean I have to do a bunch of painful tests which, as I knew they would, turned out benign.
