brief update for all you people who I know think about me

Mar 14, 2007 17:38

I am in much less pain today. I had a CT scan this Monday and the doctor called me JUST LAST NIGHT and strongly encouraged me to pick a pharmacy, give him its phone number so he can call in a prescription, and go buy the med he going to call in and take it immediately ( Read more... )

I am SO GLAD to see you here again, and look forward to more of your irreverent wit when you have extra energy again.

Unfortunately, I am too pressed for time to indudge in irreverent wit (oh how I miss it). Humor is something I developed consciously in my early thirties--I actually read some books on the subject. I did find myself laughing once last Friday night, which was a good sign. I wasn't aware of how long I'd gone without a good laugh. I read across some band, a real band, with one of those ridiculous funny names. sigh.

Maybe i'll take just a moment to execise my creative brain.

(Intelligencia) Band names for sale:

The Proprietory Metaphors
Sonia's Self-Referential Sabatical
Professor Demmy and his Impressive yet Impenitriable Abstracts
Graduate Student Ghetto
Slaves of his Magesty: Department Chair
Research-Grant Gravy and other Groovy Plausibles
Doctural Crucifiction

that was fun... later gator!

hugs back. I hope you all are still having a swell time in Colorado, if I'm remembering correctly.

Welcome Back! lyriclemon March 16 2007, 22:56:01 UTC

I have been thinking about you a LOT...very glad that you posted. I am so so sorry that you have been having so much pain, but very happy that there is a treatment that will help get rid of the cause.

Positive thinking is SOOOOO important....please take care of yourself!!!

Re: Welcome Back! uh_oh March 22 2007, 05:26:11 UTC

Thank you, i am still pain free. I am of course worried I will have a relapse, but at least I have the freedom to worry again! I literally didn't have the energy or mental focus to worry before. lol.

YAY! eusashead March 22 2007, 19:38:00 UTC

You're still alive! Yay! I'm glad you've got something treatable. I hope the treatment's going well.

I have been thinking about you and feeling bad that I haven't had time to badger you with my concerns. I will try to make time for that in the future :-)

*hug*

Yes, I'm still here and kicking:) Though at the moment, this second round of radiation is really kicking back. I'm supposed to be studying but just can't. I feel okay in the mornings but in the evenings it thwacks me. Wasn't so bad the first time.

You know, there's something I have to tell you I don't know if I did before or not. I was always a little skeptical that the meds you take were completely necessary. I've always frowned on psychatrist, perceiving them as knee-jerk pill pushers for the pharacutical industry. But, I have come to learn, thanks to the psych 101 course I'm taking this semester that there are many basis for depression. Some are completely biologically based and must be controled with meds. I feel so stupid for feeling the way I did before. I don't know if you knew this was how I felt about it but if you did I apoligize for that. I no longer hold that erroneous belief.

Thank you for the hug:)

No, I didn't know you felt that way. We discussed it shortly after we first met but I thought I had managed to explain to you that it was a physical condition in my case. Thank you for not telling me. It would have just upset me when I didn't need to be upset.

I was kind of surprised to hear that you didn't think I needed them, because you were around during one of my pharmaceutical hiatuses, and you were present at the moment the meds kicked in when I went back on them. KC RenFest 2001 at the archery booth. No, I don't expect you to remember, but it was a big moment for me. Suddenly there was actually something in the world to enjoy again. Shooting! :-)

Super, super glad to hear from you, as I often (quietly) wonder how you're doing.

As far as the short story thing goes- I think we'd be all happy as long as you don't go all "Flowers for Algernon" on us. That would be sad. Take care of yourself, and stay stubborn! : )

And I'm curious how life's treating you as well. Hopefully, I'll be able to spare more time in the future and be more social. Just three more weeks of school and I know I'll have time!
