Ixamyakxim: Happy Easter / Passover!
After a long day of cooking, cleaning, washing and family fun I settled down for a few private drinks (maybe one too many ;) ) and some games before bed! Just thought I'd pop in and wish everyone still hanging in there tonight the best!
Not to make anyone jealous, but I just had to get out there in the ether that despite the inevitable ups and downs, gives and takes of the various holidays (and life in general!) I've very grateful to always come out on the side of "smile on the face" more often than not.
And I apologize for being insufferable and cheery, but thanks for hearing me out regardless!
*edit! Grrrrr note to self - read the thread beforehand! Having had a family health issue or two lately I feel bad for being a bit too ebullient after others going through own rough times. Though the well wishes still stand.
Same to you, thank you. =)
Well, aside from one thing anyway. I'd have to agree, you are
way too cheery.
What I think we all need is more misery and depression, since as you well know, a thread is always at its best when all participants hate everything, are never ever happy about anything and kinda want to kill themselves. ;)
(Also, the vocabulary word of the day is now ebullient.)
CarrionCrow: She had it in November...they're checking things out in April.
Did the neurologist take a 4 month frigging vacation?
genkicolleen: Yeah, no doubt *dry look* I was so upset when they told me they couldn't get youngest in until APRIL! >_< It was her first Grand Mal, and it scared the crap out of us. It would have been nice if they could have at least *called* me. To be fair, Doernbecher's is one of the best children's hospitals in the whole Northwest, so it's no wonder they're so booked up. But still...
I could say, "I can only imagine how that must've been", but that would be such crap.
I can't, and I'm sorry you and your family have to deal with things like that.
That's very understanding of you. My opinion? They could've called.
A few minutes to give some peace of mind to people dealing with profoundly scary shit feels like a small investment of time with a big payoff.
