Murphy's Law or "Houston, we have a problem"

Good Morning Everyone,

Well....I really should be in surgery or coming out of it, but being Murphy's Law as it plays out in my life,  my surgery did not manifest itself today, but only delayed until the 20th of September.
I was making supper late, about 4:45 pm, I get a phone call from the doctor's office.  It was his surgical nurse that sets up the appointments and gets everything in order.

She asked if possible, I could just delay the surgery until a little later date in the month.  Then she told me that the doctor had two emergency surgeries scheduled right during the early morning on my surgery time,  but we could do it, BUT, it would be very late afternoon....WHAT!!!  It seems that all hell broke loose about mid afternoon at the doctor's office yesterday.

Its a no-brainer to me.  NO, I do not want a tired, exhausted doctor working on me after two long emergency surgeries and countless other interruptions.  So I rescheduled for the 20th and hopefully all of the bad karma will not fall on that day also, we'll see. 

I am a funny creature.  If someone is going to be playing exploratory surgery in my innards, I want a fresh-as-a-daisy doctor who will not cut off something  or poke holes in my innards if he has been up for 24 hours poking in someone else's innards.

I a not a trusting creature with physicians.  I know that they are healers, but I have also had physicians who were greedy and looked at me like a dollar bill for their new vacation home or new Beamer.
There is a part of me that is glad, but I am also going to have to get psyched up again as I had so much anxiety over this, but again, I am making a judgement call, and I am worried about me for a change and not a doctor's assembly line procedures.

We live in a small town and this doctor is the only doctor we have here that does female type surgeries, plus this doctor is on call to many other hospitals and clinics all over West Central Nebraska.  So you see, my call on him being fresh and not exhausted is I feel not being selfish or conceited.

I just want to thank all of you for all of your blessings, and karma.  I feel I have just been lying to all of you.  I am sorry, but again, I am funny about things being in my corner for a change, and this is one of them.  And I bet that some of you feel the same way.

Anyway, I have a few more weeks and then MAYBE I'll get this procedure done and out of the way.
Anyway, I wish everyone a wonderful weekend and much enjoyment.  It is delightfully cool here this morning, around 59*, and its suppose to get to around 76* today.  And tonight "drum roll", its supposed to get down to 39*!! WOO-HOO.
We still have no rain at all.  We are in extreme drought now, and I went to the grocery yesterday to get some things before surgery and WOW, prices, yikes, so I got my basics and toddled off.  I am glad I cook from scratch mostly and am somewhat sufficient from the pricey processed food. I still need to stock my pantry with dry milk and other stables but I am working on that and I should be set hopefully by October and set until spring.
Again, Thank you everyone, for your blessings and karma and thoughts, it means so very much to me, I am just sorry that I made a lie out of it, sorta.
Anyway, hugs to all and I will post another Countryside Magazine articles if I can find something interesting. 
Hugs

Surgery Friday

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Well, I just got back from doing pre-op blood work and all of the other nasties that you have to do before surgery.  I am scheduled to go in at 6:45 am tomorrow morning. Yuck!
I am hoping that I can just get through it and get home.  My only problem is I get very sick from the anesthesia, and it is the most awful thing that I hate about surgery.
So I will pray for healing and be able to get back to normal soon.
I will try to post another article from the Countryside Journal. I will see how I feel.
I wish everyone a up coming wonderful weekend and take care
Hugs

Still a Blasted Furnace here

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I am sorry that I have not posted anything for awhile.  I have had some issues here and I have not wanted to blog or even go out the door for that matter.

I am tired of waking up just about every morning and having issues and it never seems to end.  I am like Ilene, I am blue, depressed, and just plain damn tired of the world as a whole.
I also am going to share something with you. 

About two weeks ago, I went in to the doctor to ask about some issues with the female anatomy, (please male readers, don't go any further if you want). I have mentioned that I have not felt "good" for quite awhile, and thought it was my thyroid medication being out of whack. I have been in menopausal mode for several years, and then I started having issues. I won't go into detail as I know I have male readers.

Well, to make a long story short, I was sent in to have an ultra-sound and ended up with a gob of uterine fibroid, and they have been causing problems of many sorts including along with my thyroid medication needing to be adjusted.
I have now been scheduled to have a hysteroscopcy on the 7th of September.  But at the moment, I am not sure if I will cancel this and move it up later in the month or in October.

They are not sure if there is cancer present, so the OBGYN wants to have a "looky-loo" on my behalf, which I will tell you, I do not like and I feel violated to say the least.  I do not like my private parts to be exposed to the world and everyone in a surgery ward, that's just the way I am.

And on top of this, my mother is now starting some dementia issues with her health now.  So I am trying to handle my dad, who is short straight of being impossible to handle or to talk to.  And I have a consultation with my mother's doctor and my dad and myself  the 6th of September, one  day before I go in.  On this same day, the 6th, I have pre-op work to do in the morning, so I am now thinking as to how to handle this and if it gets any more stressful,  I will cancel my appointments, and get my parents done first.  There is no way in heaven and earth that I can go through a surgery and be down for about a week, if they take these fribroids out.  I cannot be down at all.  So, at the moment, I am just trying to be calm, and think and make a logical decision.

I am also having issues with the owner of the park.  He is on the so called hot seat with city officials because of his rentals now, and he is taking rage upon everyone, including me.  So I consulted my attorney, and he advised me to send a certified letter to him, along with my payment and issue a stop harassing me note and if it continued, I will proceed with the attorney with a formal suite.  I cannot spend the money on my attorney, but if I must to be left alone and not have hassles with him or his moron mouthpiece while I am down and cannot fight, then I will. 
So.....this is the way its been lately. 
The only real happiness I get is when my new babies play and keep me entertained with their play and antics.  They are so sweet and only know love.  I am so glad I have them all.

So, I am going to close for now.  I will post a few different articles from Countryside Magazine.  And hopefully things will calm down.
If I decide to go on with the surgery, I will post and let you all know.
Until then, everyone please have a wonderful weekend, and Labor Day holiday.
Hugs
