Would anyone mind if I just vent? I am in pain and scared.

Dec 12, 2012, 03:36 PM

Please vent, sconnie.

granite1 · Dec 12, 2012, 03:36 PM

go for it

sconnie892 · Dec 12, 2012, 03:39 PM

Thanks.
The procedure didn't hurt at the time really, but now I am in pain. They had to really jam the needle in

Apparently it was difficult to get at

And I am terrified. I knew the woman who did the follow-up imaging and when she came to talk to me she was tearing up. This was after she checked with the radiologist and all I can think of is that she knew something looked bad.... I am so scared.

granite1 · Dec 12, 2012, 03:45 PM

did you ask her why she was tearing up .

Dec 12, 2012, 03:49 PM

Sconnie... What else did she say??

I didn't because my mom was sitting right there. She just told me all the things I was supposed to be doing - like not showering until Friday. Would have liked to know that one beforehand.

Maybe I am just being overly sensitive. I think I might call t and just leave her a message. She told me I could do that. I probably have to wait until Friday for the results.

They told me 24-48 hours. The waiting is horrible. I am so scared.

One of my best friends sent me a box of tea. I am going to call her and thank her to keep my mind off this stuff. And call t.

Was just told my management plan sounds great as long as I'm consistent at it. My mojo is back!

stopdog · Dec 12, 2012, 04:33 PM

Sconnie - good luck. I know the waiting is hard.

I was the only one that disagreed....and I explained what I felt was going on - a very, very drastic difference....I said that it seemed as though he pushed and pushed without taking in any of the feedback - until the other person conceded, like he wouldn't let go until he was proven right and her wrong.

No one else saw it that way.

Well, today, on the blog, he posted little snippets of love and joy to each person at group - except me - all proud of himself for his success and the validation....and then posted to that one person that didn't attend, saying that I said XYZ and was that what she felt happened?

The person responded, agreeing with my observation.

So, last night, I felt like a total outcast because I wasn't blowing smoke up his azz like the rest of them - and said it how I experienced it - and it was accurate.

As much as it feels awful, I'm glad that I didn't go along with the rest of the group, that I stayed true to myself and expressed my different experience in spite of knowing that the others disagreed.....And I'm also glad that what I experienced had value (because it was accurate) cuz I'd imagine everyone was thinking I'm a total azzhole.

This is awesome. This is why YOU are the comedian, because you can see and speak the truth. It's times like this you feel your tie back thru history with the court jester whose job it was to tell the king the truth.

If there's room in for me and my two cats in Colorado, I'm in. I can make clothes, quilts, etc as well as knit about 1 scarf a years lol.

sconnie892 · Dec 12, 2012, 05:00 PM

I will also come to Colorado. Can I be the official veggie gardener? I can supply the couch nutritionists with a bounty of veggies and fruits.

sconnie892 · Dec 12, 2012, 05:13 PM

My t is awesome. I left her a message and she called back to check in on me and make sure I had some plan for coping with the waiting.

Dec 12, 2012, 05:13 PM

Excellent , all are welcome .... Colorado PC home for wayward Ladies ( and their pets ) and maybe a dude or 2 ! We are gonna need a better name and a tax attorney!

WikidPissah · Dec 12, 2012, 05:28 PM

((sconnie)) The radiologist really can't tell just by the imaging. Honest. They have to do the biopsy in the lab. So it may have been allergies, or maybe she knew you'd be in pain. But she doesn't know. OK?

I'm in for Colorado. I will be the security...food security. I'll make sure no cool whip gets in. ha ha ha ha.

When H wheeled me down the hall to leave the hospital a bunch of doc's and nurses were standing there waiting, and they clapped for me. Isn't that wild? Made me cry.

Dec 12, 2012, 05:32 PM

Thats really touching Wiki. We knew you would pull out of this. Your Wiki after all.

Dec 12, 2012, 05:39 PM

Sconnie...we will wait with you.

Here's something positive I learned via pinterest today.
You can make ice packs in ziploc baggies. Mix 1 part rubbing alcohol with 3 parts water and freeze. It never gets solid because of the alcohol. I made some in snack size baggies for today and they work well. I would double bag them just in case it springs a leak.

Sorry for the obscure link. I can't find a better one.
This story deserves to be much better known.

Thanks, hankster!

Seems like I'll be a lonely comedian, though....the result of my honesty seems to be rejection. I guess nobody likes the court jester very much.
