Life Such As It Is

I haven't been posting much of anything lately, just reading blogs. The content of my posting would be pretty boring. I'm VERY pissed off at my lack of ability to do much of anything without experiencing pain.

Then I see someone, much worse off than me and all I feel is guilt. How selfish is that??
Every patient says,"what's the matter, did you fall?" No, I respond, "I need a hip replacement".
It's getting to be a bit much. I know the people I work with must be getting sick off hearing the same thing.

One of my favorite patients is a Catholic Nun (retired). She and I have a relationship where I can ask her anything about anything. She was in the other day and somewhere along the line I asked her about her situation in regards to when she worked as a teacher. Was she able to keep her salary? Oh no, she said. It went directly to The Order and they gave her enough money to cover her expenses. (What expenses could she have had I wondered?)
They were very good to us she said, we had excellent health and dental care and were well taken care off. "Sounds like you lived in Cuba with Castro", I jested. He took good care of HIS people too. She had a big laugh over that, as I had said it with a humorous voice.

Memo To Self: Sometimes I should keep my big yap shut.

I'm just lucky she is down to earth. That and I think the world of her!!
She knows I have to move and when she was leaving, she told me to call her and her friends to help me move when the time comes. One of her roommates is 87.
How frickin sweet is that??

The bottom line is, is that I am frustrated beyond belief . This is so not me!! I am /have been one of the most energetic and fast paced people I know and to be downgraded to a snail sucks!

See!!! This is why I haven't posted much. Who wants to hear this shite??

Love You All,
Thanks for "bearing" with me,
Love Maggie
