This is only a continuation of my last blog about the husband and the book. Just an update.

1. Husband. STILL waiting for result of his CT scan and the plan of action from his heart Doctor. I do so love our medical system. Really.

2. Book. Thank you Trav and Wishy. I finished the WW Two section of the book yesterday. It was a difficult part and I'm hoping the next chapter will be a little easier and go more quickly. Dad's birthday is in September and I want to be able to hand him his book for his 88th birthday. Wouldn't that be fabulous??

3. Remember the woman who was depressed about retiring. WHO WAS SHE ANYWAY???   I am totally into this retirement thing. Every day  is Saturday or Sunday!! What's not to like??? I was crazy....

Thanks for checking in. I'll try and post something a little more fun next time.

    so glad to read that you are enjoying yourself! i hope you get good results back from the tests...limbo-land is a hard place to be.  waiting on test results can be agonizing! september is right around the corner, a good goal :)

    Sounds like things are rolling along as they should, except the wait on the ct scan, that seems normal enough though, even our health system sucks.

    Glad to see you're settling into retirement nicely.  Also, awesome on completing part of the book!  YAY!  Hope things speed up for your husband's treatment plan.  That's one of the most difficult things to have to just sit and wait for.

    Sounds like you've been staying busy since retirement!  That's probably why you don't miss working, just miss the paycheck : )

    I hope you do get the book finished for your dad's birthday.  That would be so special.

    I also hope that everything turns out well for your husband.

    I hope someone is pampering you a bit though, too.

    Queenie~ Can't do anything but wait on the Drs but I am really into retirement in the summer!

    MMI~Yep. It's delicious. I do have some obligations and a little bit of a schedule but not much. I draaaaagggggg myself out of bed to go walking at 9AM each day. It's a hard life... And thanks for the wishes for a nice weekend. It was.

    Fraggs~Limbo land is soooo wrong. I like things all tied up neatly. Possibly topped with a nice ribbon. Sigh. And please do not say things like September is right around the corner. I want summer to last AND I need time to go slowy or I won't make it with the book.Thanks Fraggie.

    Lucy. Yeppers. It's probably not much better anywhere but the problem is, this has been going on since March and his heart gets weaker and weaker as he waits for treatment options. I'm not pleased. Otherwise, things are ok. Thanks for reading Lucy.

    Hedge~ It is slow going hedge with the book. So slow but it's an act of love and I'm giving it my best shot.  And yep, waiting is not my thing. Thanks Hedge.

    Alabama~Yes, I'm having a nice time with retirement. I still get a check but it's much smaller. For all this free time, it's ok.

    CW. Hmmm. I just gave you a long response and it's gone. Ok. That's upsetting. I pamper myself. That way I know it will happen! About the book, I'm writing as quickly as I can without compromising it. 50 typewritten pages which I believe translates into about 90 paperback pages. I had hoped to  keep it around 100 but that's not going to happen.
  • Lucytorial said on Jun 23, 2009....
    Woman start ranting, its unacceptable that a scan that is very common should take this long.  I'd be shitting down someones throat, the doctor who is responsible for it.
     
    See, for me I'm always so nice but when that line is crossed I become an absolute bitch, seems to work a treat every time.  It also feels good to vent on the asshole thats creating the problem.

    With my back to the wall, my children hurt, or my sense of justice destroyed, I can rant with the best of them. But this is husband's issue and in the states I can't even call and discuss this with them. Privacy laws.

    That said, he did call today. If he read between the lines correctly, they buried the paperwork and the doctor hadn't even seen the test results. Sigh. They assured him that she will see it now.  I'll keep you posted.
