Hurray! Hurray!
Things are much better now. Told Mother the news last night and she was fine as soon as she found out that her daughter was going to be alright. Rosie should be out of the hospital tomorrow or Monday at the latest. After Tuesday pm she has shown dramatic improvements and now it is just a matter of letting her bowels return to their normal functions. In other words once she poops, she’s outa’ there.
This experience is a good reminder that life can be reduced to nothing more than waste matter trying to get out. If you or anything gets in the way, all hell will, indeed, break loose and it will bang on your innards until it all becomes unbearable and you let it out. Next to this, everything else is irrelevant.
My mother reminded us that our aunt also had an extreme case of endometriosis. In her case half of her reproductive organs were removed along with the large cyst that they found. So, there have been a couple moments of “Everybody’s up to date with their smears right?” and a general nodding and mumbling of agreement from the masses ensues, whereas I look down and ignore the question since the last pap smear, and first, I had was over two years ago and it came up negative or positive, whichever one means that something is wrong. Since I haven’t had health insurance in four years I did not follow up.
So far this having no insurance has been a calculated risk and the wee bits of medical attention I have needed I have been able to handle financially. But, I suppose that this little game has a risk factor which increases exponentially as I get older and continue to smoke and live a sedentary lifestyle etc. Me hopes, that nothing happens between now and spring/summer 2005 when I hope I have a job with health benefits.
On a different note:
Today was absolutely gorgeous! Since Rosie is able to walk around a little bit now the family was able to spend some time outside in a little nook that served as a hospital courtyard. If this is any indication of the coming months then it should be a lovely summer. So, without further ado:
HURRAY HURRAY THE FIRST OF MAY. OUTDOOR FUCKING STARTS TODAY!!!
Still love ya’ James.
