I LOATHE Pre-Op Testing!

Posted 08.22.2009 at 04.00 AM by GAPrincess
Emory University Midtown Hospital MUST streamline their pre-op testing! It took 4 hours to take my vitals (twice), get 4 vials of blood, and update my medical history (twice).

My appointment was for 9:10 AM we got there 10 minutes late, which considering what time mom got up and the traffic we encountered was a miracle. I thought I was gonna have to reschedule; but fortunately they were already running late.

Apparently my doctor is very particular. So...

A New Heart

Posted 08.20.2009 at 05.42 PM by predestine
Before my husband Patrick passed away, he had on his license Organ Donor. The other day I received a letter from a man named David, the man who received my husbands heart. It's the second letter from him, and I am always glad to hear from him. My youngest daughter also is always glad to hear from him, and it's always an emotional time for her.
David had a very bad heart, it started in his 40's, and progressed into needing a heart to live. In June he celebrated his 63 birthday....

Been with Werner for 8 months now. No change in the pay that makes it worthwhile. Time to move on. My Net Pay for the past 8 months has been $2,391. That's the total. No more. I'm done.

Here's what often happens...you need a job you need a job...oh who will hire me?!

A company hires you...they tell you you have to stay out 2-3 weeks at a time...your so broke at the time that you don't care...you just want MONEY.....

Well after a while 2-4 months...once...

Living in the land of the free

Posted 08.18.2009 at 04.31 PM by Irishtrucker
So here i am, living in California and about to become a trucker again.

A little history is appropriate here i believe.

I am 40, am from Ireland and married to Suzanne whom i have known for about 18 years now. We only got married last year so i guess i played it slowly, seriously though we lost touch and then found each other again.

I had a great career in Ireland as an outdoor education instructor, which in Ireland pays very well and is seasonal, so...

Apology....

Posted 08.14.2009 at 11.13 AM by ghostchild
I apologize....
I recently jumped to a conclusion about someone...I had no idea who they really were...or their intent...
It's kinda like being a 'deer' in the african plains...sometimes your nerves can get a bit jittery...and you tend to 'jump' everytime the weeds move...cause you don't know its friend or foe...
It is not my intent to rattle nerves on here...it is only my intent to 'be real'...to share real...

I'm scared.

Posted 08.14.2009 at 03.11 AM by GAPrincess
I'm scared. Daddy hasn't been doing well this week at all. He has Parkinson's and his symptoms seem to have intensified lately. On Wednesday when they came back from the senior center he couldn't get himself out of the car by himself. That's only happend once or twice before, but it was last winter when he first came home from the hospital. His sudden weakness and inability to stand up from a sitting position is odd. It scares me, it terrifies mommy.

Mom has been helping him in and...
