I do not effing believe this.
This arrived at the house while I was hospitalized. I had put this envelope on the lower priority mail pile, as it didn’t look like a bill or something that needed to be dealt with immediately, and so didn’t get to it until later this afternoon.
Dear Patient:
Your recent mammogram showed a finding that requires additional imaging studies in order to complete the evaluation. Most such findings are benign (not cancer). Please call ********** to schedule and appointment for these tests.
My life has become a medical joke. I’m still waiting for the punchline.
One of the reasons I feel drawn to EMS is because makes me think about my own mortality and living the best life I can while I am able. There are some fates worse than death when it comes to certain disabilites.
Keep an eye on those stairs, OK?
(I have to admit, I watch some of those talk shows if nothing is going on. I also feel sorry for the kids after watching the parents act like idiots on TV. Makes me wonder what they are like off-camera.)
I saw a show similar to that one time and I just kept thinking – one day those children might see the show. How heartbreaking!

I almost forgot….I like the bird on the shoulder thing. Although, with your illness, you have been given the opportunity to reflect upon your life, none of us really know when it will be our time.

Oh sh*t, when it rains it pours for you. The punchline is that you will have the last laugh when this is over, which hopefully will be soon.

Pinch yourself. This has got to be a bad dream.
Does it have to be a LITTLE bird?
I woke up this morning and heard a giant sqwaking TURKEY (terrorist bug-a-boo) who’s been on the US’s back for a while, telling us we’re all gonna die, ‘spectacularly’ no less.
But that mammogram… I hope everything turns out ok with that. The price of vigilance is having to deal with more false alarms. I sure hope this is one of them, Pali.
