For those of you who know me personally, you know that I am making a Bar Mitzvah in the Fall. Very exciting stuff around here. Things are moving along swimmingly and then I just had a "random thought" what happens if I magically get a kidney donor. Well, you're probably think, "Are you a fucking idiot don't worry about the Mitzvah get your new kidney!!" Yes I know, when I really stop aand process things that's what I would do, without question. My son would read from the Torah as practiced regardless of what state I am in, but the festivities would be postponed, and now Im thinking that what better reason to delay a celebration. It would be like my Bat Mitzvah and wedding redux!! That could prove to be even more exciting. Sorry, rambling..
I warned, random thoughts: Did you know that when a child tells you (and I quote) " I am a difficult child to parent" you should run screaming! Yes my own son told me that the other day. I am pretty sure I should just give up now, because I will not live through his teenage years which are coming quick!
My kids are so different it is truly amazing. One is confident, outgoing, enjoys athletics, where the other is so entirely the opposite on every level. Yet they are both super smart, intuitive and down right cool. It is very interesting watching them succeed and fail, learn and grow. This has been an interesting year since I have been around so much, not working because of dialysis. This year and yes it is almost a year, has shaped our family in the so many different ways. It's hard to explain, but easy to imagine.
Oh by the way, it's been hot, as hot as it was last July and the July before that and so on, you get the point (LOL)
I love my dog more than life itself!! "I only like golden retrievers." I really do mean that. Penny makes me laugh and smile at least ten times a day.
Another thought, my husband and I watch "something stupid and funny" every night before bed. It is our policy, we stand by it 100%. You can't go to sleep after 4 episodes of Law&Order SVU! All you here all night is the "chunk, chunk" sound and dream of Elliot Stabler(oh, did I say that out loud!) Trust me watch a Goofy Comedy from the 80's(it's a category on Netflix) and you'll sleep like a baby!
Not to go all depressing on you, but I saw something at dialysis on Friday that I hope no one ever has to see. Let me start off by saying that there are some very sick and very old people on dialysis. Especially the time of day I go for treatment. But one of my section mates is not very old but has many other health problems, that make dialysis very difficult. Dialysis lowers your blood pressure so we are monitored very carefully in that area. But this man in my section, not well, his blood pressure dropped and then he had no pulse. They had a defibrillator ready. they bagged him and gave oxygen. I was 5 feet away. Everyone remained calm, they called 911 and thankfully he regained consciousness. It scares me to think that someone could die there. I have seen them rush to other patients who have passed out. It is another odd reality that I endure.
I hope I didn't bore you with my random thoughts. Please follow me and comment thoughtfully.
