Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 Becca, Well, first of all, let me put your mind at ease...you really didn't miss anything. I made a fleeting remark to about my having a date last night...but, well you know the rest of the story...no fireworks (not even a sparkler!!) Regarding your conversation with your friend...about peoples reaction..and their comments...I know I have learned to let it roll off my back...Kinda!! I think i probably replay the negative comments in my mind about 75 times and THEN i let them roll.... I once had a woman...a stranger, ask how I received all the scars on my chest...by that she meant the open heart surgery scar and the horizontal scars above the breast area where the pacemakers and ICD's were placed..and replaced...and replaced...ect.. Anyway, I was pretty taken back because I had just gotten the courage to wear a scoop neck shirt that revealed a little flesh...(easy Bob..Turk...just a little!!) and I wasn't sure how to respond. I ended up telling her that it was a breast-augmentation surgery gone a-muck!!!! She stared at my chest, turned a lovely shade of crimson and rushed off. Since then, I do answer honestly....but briefly. So Becca...what's been going on? Get back....lord knows I have been lonely... love..

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 Morning , I must have missed something along the way. Next thing I know Bob and Turk are fussing about you on a date? Sounds to me like somebody needs an inflatable something. You guys know how to blow, don't 'cha? Had an interesting chat with a friend yesterday who had a benign brain tumor removed a few years ago. She is a librarian and I was there yesterday copying that big article on the World Trade Ctr. from the Atlantic Monthly (which I could not find to buy in two counties!!), and she asked me if things were back to normal, wink wink, and I laughed and said that after Feb, nothing felt normal. We got on about things folks have said to us since then that defies the imagination. Oh they are all well-meaning, of course, but you'd think none of them have ever had something horrid happen to them. We decided our best course of action when we are in need of saying something to the bereaved, is the sincere least, and shut up. No babbling! Easier said than done, though. We also talked about how things that used to bother us don't anymore. I said that I had a whole new set of things that bug me. Made me realize I feel more comfortable now with those who have gone through catastrophic situations, whatever they might have been.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 , Been kind of quiet since the early part of the week when I thought it might be safer to crawl under my school desk with my knees under my chin and pray the Russians weren't bombing us. And nothing really is going on. We have a perfectly delightful rainy day right now. The drought is making everyone edgy and cranky (maybe that's why my scar has been bugging me this week),and I cannot wait for autumn to arrive. My favorite time of year. Went to town Tues with my best friend. Did you feel the wind pick up? We were yacking so much. Been swimming almost everyday which is a very good thing. Reading a hilarious book by Raffella Barker called SUMMERTIME which is the sequel to HENS DANCING. I was laughing by page 2. My gosh!!! It's a gully washer! Thank the Gods! Maybe we won't be a dust bowl after all. I have to say I am still startled by what people think they have the right to say to someone in a personal manner. I have put up with that kind of thing because I am child-challenged, have thought up some very pithy retorts that have left several squinty-eyed women bleeding in the dirt when they had the nerve to say something ugly, but now folks just assume one is back to the status quo. I think they either mean well with no malice in them at all, or they just don't honestly know. What gets my goat are my friends who I thought were close, who seem to not have a clue. It's a weeding out process after all. I KNOW who understands, and who gets it, and I know who doesn't now, and that's okay. I don't understand my friend with MS, and he doesn't understand what happened to me. That's why this list is so valuable.
