cornerofmadnessat least in the extra curricular sense. Half my jocks were missing from class because they were helping out with Special Olympics that were being held on campus.I think that's a good experience for all involved. Wish they had stuff like that when my cousin was born but 70 years ago that just wasn't happening.
We also had the first anniversary of the veterans organization on campus. I helped a little with fliers and spreading the word since I'm still rather attached to our veterans and I am dealing with larger and larger numbers of current war vets. Sadly I did not get to go because things didn't go so hot at the doctors and I didn't make it back in time. They had a ton of donations which was great.
And tonight was a poetry reading for Nat'l Poetry month and they got most of the Welsh students involved. They did the poems of James Whitcomb Riley, a name![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
evil_little_dog should know. It was good. My friend L, was also performing. I also saw a doctor I know there. I've been his patient, had his kids in class and he's the pre-med club's liasion. I asked him about the shoulder surgery and he winced. 'i don't want to say this about my coworkers but...go find someone who ONLY does shoulder surgery.' Yeah I thought so too. Which means leaving this area. He added that you have to LOVE pain to have shoulder surgery and he IS a pain management doc. Special
Little Orphan Annie's come to my house to stay.
To wash the cups and saucers up and brush the crumbs away.
To shoo the chickens from the porch and dust the hearth and sweep,
and make the fire and bake the bread to earn her board and keep.
While all us other children, when the supper things is done,
we sit around the kitchen fire and has the mostest fun,
a listening to the witch tales that Annie tells about
and the goblins will get ya if ya don't watch out!
Once there was a little boy who wouldn't say his prayers,
and when he went to bed at night away up stairs,
his mammy heard him holler and his daddy heard him bawl,
and when they turned the covers down,
he wasn't there at all!
They searched him in the attic room
and cubby hole and press
and even up the chimney flu and every wheres, I guess,
but all they ever found of him was just his pants and round-abouts
and the goblins will get ya if ya don't watch out!!
Once there was a little girl who always laughed and grinned
and made fun of everyone, of all her blood and kin,
and once when there was company and old folks was there,
she mocked them and she shocked them and said, she didn't care.
And just as she turned on her heels and to go and run and hide,
there was two great big black things a standing by her side.
They snatched her through the ceiling fore she knew what shes about,
and the goblins will get ya if ya don't watch out!!
When the night is dark and scary,
and the moon is full and creatures are a flying and the wind goes Whoooooooooo,
you better mind your parents and your teachers fond and dear,
and cherish them that loves ya, and dry the orphans tears
and help the poor and needy ones that cluster all about,
or the goblins will get ya if ya don't watch out!!!
and here's a bonus picture his grave from my trip to visit ELD last year
I had to go for my yearly pap smear and I've been having issues with bleeding (all my life) and the cysts which are causing my blood sugar to go up.
Doc - maybe you want an ablation or hysterectomy.
Me - you don't deal with the ovaries right? The bleeding isn't that bad. It's the damn hormones that are giving me problems.
Doc - well no. How about we try the mirena IUD for the bleeding.
Me - that makes cysts worse right. Really, the bleeding isn't that bad.
Doc - prolonged bleeding can lead to uterine cancer
Me - hmmm (so can not having kids. Hell not having kids greatly increases your chances of uterine, ovarian AND breast cancer) I'll think about it (no I'm not. I need enough surgery that I don't see me lining this one up)
Doc - I'll try for an endometerial biospy today if your cervix will dilate.
Me - yeah sure.
Doc - It might not since you never had kids.
Apparently if you knock on the door to my cervix it WILL let you in (and naturally my period started today out of freaking spite). But it sure as hell wasn't painless. It was like the worst cramp ever and then you feel the little slicing doo-dad on the biospy tool. Then she sent me for a transvaginal ultrasound stat. Yeah big surprise, cysts on the ovaries. whimpers. Mammogram on monday
Soul got Kanda back today for his attempts to brain Soul on the toilet. I'm in the shower and boom, the curtain whips into the tub and Soul has Kanda bent over the tub shoving his head in. I'm going to have to start locking the door.
Day Fifteen: Favorite female character growth arc
Mai Taniyama from Ghost Hunt. She might seem an odd choice but to me she represents one of the biggest growth arcs I've ever seen in manga/anime for a female. Mai starts out a typical h.s. girl, telling ghost stories with her friends when that leads to a chance encounter with Lin and Naru in which she accidentally hurts Lin, breaks Naru's camera and ends up working off her debt. In the process, she slowly becomes the heart and soul of the Shibuya Pyschic Research team. She evolves from a flighty girl, not that much interested in studying, to the one who does a lot of the heavy lifting, some of the research and develops her own psychic abilities to really be better than almost anyone on the team. And her falling in love with Naru is pretty sweet. If you've not seen the manga (the series is done in 10 vol) or the anime, I think you'd like it.
As you can see, Raccoon Creek is nearly up to the cabin I was haunting in October. Guess what it's doing now? raining. ALL of Bob Evans farm is now currently unfarmable thanks to the flood. Ditto all the other farms around here

Date: 2011-04-16 10:49 pm (UTC)I know when I had mine, the doctor tried to talk me out of it "You're still in child bearing years" blah blah blah. I flat told him I was fed up with the pain and that *something* was very very wrong in there. So if he didn't do it, I'd by gods operate on myself! I listen to my body, and refuse to accept established medical opinions if they go against what I *know* what my body is doing. I'm glad the doctor finally decided to listen to me....OYE were there problems!
It may worry you, and the doctor part of you keeps pointing out the risks...but the woman in you needs to override that and decide what is really needed for your body.
Listen to what your body is saying, ask what it needs...not what the conscious mind says.
