I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through all that, Roberta! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, and sending you my best, fuzziest kitty vibes.
(((hugs)))
Tomorrow?
Tomorrow is Thursday!
Already!
Good luck, Roberta!
Many hugs & my best wishes to you!
Thanks, all. And you're right, msolga. It's more like two years of more than enough.
Yes, Roberta.
And maybe even a wee bit longer than that.
Roberta a disorganised soulmate!!!
A friend assures me that I'm not disorganised but differently organised ...... mmmm I think it's a bit like calling the dustbin men 'refuse operatives' - same thing at the end of the day!
Good luck with the doctors.
No problem, Roberta. The letter will turn up eventually - when I'm looking for something else!
I have to restate my lack of organization. In fact, I'm not that disorganzed, now that I think about it. I'm more lazy and messy, which ultimately results in disorganization. But I do have places for everything. It just takes me a while to put things where they belong. Stuff piles up, and chaos ensues. When Mikey was around, he would remind me that it was time to tidy up. He'd jump on the table, and then I'd hear, thud, thump, clank, bang as he knocked things on the floor to make a place for himself.
Saw the doctor today. Yes, I have a hernia. Surgery is the only way to get rid of it. It's not an emergency. I can decide when to have it done (assuming it doesn't get worse or become an emergency). I'm going to think this over. One thing I'm sure of is that now is not good. I'm too emotionally, physically, and psychologically drained now. I also have to figure out how I will pay for surgery (no insurance). Big sigh.
But in keeping with the title of this thread, nothing made me grimace and grit my teeth today. The only grimacing and gritting I've done lately was when I had that horrid drink. Did I mention that it was vile? I'm still complaining about it two days later. I asked the doctor how it was possible to create a machine that can get a three-dimensional image of my innards and not come up with something a bit less nasty to drink. No answer.

I'm holding out for
four, Roberta! :wink:
Good luck for today.
We'll be thinking of you.
Raboida, my best goil from da Bronx, you have had enough--vile tasting drinks, surgery, hernias, Mikey in kitty heaven playing hell with all the wimp kitties, no insurance in the richest country in the world, not enough work and not enough pay. For pity's sake, Boidy, this is too much!!
So come on out to New Mexico. You won't need a visa, the weather is lovely, we won't go running because the altitude is a little high for you, but hte food is great, Dys will talk your ear off and I will be in hog heaven.
I'm hoping to meet an Apache medicine man. Who knows? Maybe he will be the man for you. I hear he has a long, grey braid down his back, tall, speaks German, well traveled and very spiritual. My next door neighbor has dibs, but she's never been up against a goil from da Bronx before......
I'm sleepy and ramblin and I've already vented on msolga's other thread. Say goodnight, Gracie.
I told ya, Diane. You want a visit from this kid from da Bronx, you gotta go someplace that has air. Not thin air. Fat air. I'd love to see you, though.
What pleased me, Roberta, will easily please you - go there! :wink:
Walter, I know that you had a wonderful visit. I have no doubt that I would enjoy myself immensely were I to visit. But I can't go.
Too much work to do, Roberta?
It's a shame you couldn't just fly off & visit.
But something to contemplate doing later, perhaps?
msolga, I'm not making jokes about the thin air. I have enough trouble breathing at sea level. I would have a terrible time at 5,314 feet above sea level. This is a real and genuine reason. Please believe me.
There are other reasons. Money. Work. Etc. But I'm growing weary of talking about my problems. And I expect people are growing weary of reading about them. Let's move on.
Your wish is my command, Roberta!
No, I seriously thought you had super-heavy work commitments & that was the reason.
Gee. Thin air.
I do believe you. I just didn't quite understand before.
My computer didn't arrive (will take another fortnight).
A christmas present from overseas is still somewhere sailing around around but not here.
And just now the central heating collapsed (but at least, a mechanic will come shortly).

That's German efficiency for you, Walter...
You'd be waiting six months for a mechanic in Blighty.

The mechanic came, btw, 10 mins after calling.
