Good morning! The coffee cart and tea caddy are set up and ready.
Sorry to hear of all the sleeplessness and grief. Yet as a funeral director I once worked with said to families, 'Tears can be healing.'

C(_)/ c(_) c\_/ c[_]
 
Tears must be shed in honour of all knowledge and skills lost to create a domain of blindly opinionated peoples ... an unseen paradigm when right inuit ... later you could be frozen out ... that frigid rethunk situation ... when all things are geared to pure passion without a clue!

Simply poot ... we don't know much of eternity! It goes on ahead of us ... can it be Gabriel 'd or touted as all? Batout ... a dark critter ... these may rip across a window of time in the heavens! A state of mine examination ... so that I might someday know my self ... others don;t like to look Ide over ... thus the state of stooped and naivete in the hunchback attribute carrying all ... a bell turner?

Warped into an unknown state by gravitas ... thus a great anonymous stretch ... creating angst/ankh? It too has a loupe appearance.

Thanks for the rinks red. And my sympathy to all those who are hurting physically or otherwise. Be kind to yourselves today. Try and do one thing that nutures you-be it a long bath, listening to a favourite song, whatever.
 
My hematologist called me last night even though he is in New Zealand. Info isn't up online for me but he got biopsy results back - benign adenoma. I have suspected adenomatosis for a few weeks now and knowing the number I am well above the 10 minimum for that it seems like the right diagnosis but I think a new specialist has to do that for it to be official. Adenomatosis is extremely rare much moreso than hereditary angioedema.
 
Imagine the regulated system beyond our knowledge that speaks to all cells this way ... mysteriously. Some say it is the autonomous nervous system that works with the sympathetic and para sympathetic system and god knows what beyond the empathetic system which receives little appreciation. Thus all the intelligence we don;t know as we didn;t wish to ... or so I'm told ... I am intrigued with things others decline ... these things and non things can be clustered as an unknown mystery ... like the Hebrew God of the Unknown ... that are called hom' to be recycled from time to time as alief turns ... be the death of me physically!

I just can't speak of the unknown ... as those around me say they know all they need ... well a great portion of them ... "M" for short! Mile en Dahls?

Good news that it's benign but you went through a lot of stress to get there. Hope the good news lets you relax a bit.
 
The drinks were great Red. Thanks.

I got the laundry done today. It's still waiting to get put away. A five minute task. Later

I filled out a couple of customer satisfaction surveys from the hospital while I was doing the laundry. I discovered they have a patient experience department. My last appointment to get my port flushed was terrible. The nurses were quite unprofessional. I have written an email to describe that experience. It will be interesting to see how they respond. This treatment was quite striking considering I've received exceptional service up until this experience.

Now I'm knitting a sock while watching Ellen.

Happy Friday everyone.
 
Imagine this ... entering ER at 3:00 severely distressed with nose/mouth infections ... cautioned about by cardiologist that related the caution to congenital aortic valve disease. The nurses scuff the documents presented on the floor, take the blood pressure (very high) place their feet on the counter and tell you to go outside and wait!

Is that corruptive professionalism when they feel they are better than your observation ...

I have to laugh at the term professional ... or I'd cry. Many do not understand that word. The problem with professional tyranny ... mist understanding ... somewhat cloudy experience! It is beyond with me thus the OBI ... many do not believe what's out there ... just nothing to worry about if you have to strength to deny it! Thus it goes ... like poesy ... blossoming naivete? Where does understanding rest? Tis unknown idealism ... almost a' god/agogue!

However ... you're not allowed to say that under the rules to respect your perceived betters ... if they can convince you with raging opinions ... like polity and politics are all above board ready to jump ship ... steerage is below and be Hinei ... alas supporting rudder hams ...

British navel humour ... with a jiggle or jinn go est essence!
 
Did this happen to you Luce? It is a challenge often to have health professionals pay attention to the fact that you know your own situation more closely than they may. Sad but true. Hoping the needed help eventually arrived.

It did ... not once but repetitive ... they just don;t believe unless diagnosed by their team! I was diagnosed with cardiac difficulties when in mid 20's ... the diagnosis has been filled in with bits over the years ... I have retained this information and put it together with a great deal of reading on the topic. It is dumbfounding how it is dealt with with each encounter!

It parallels my bitchiness about engineers in my career ... I paid attention to protocol and where it failed ... and those that rose to the top stuck with protocol ... even when it failed the clients! It had to mean sales ... not curing of a deficiency!

It is all about capital and not the people capital ... labour must be denied and exterminated ... in whatever means possible! We've been conditioned to it so long we all do it ... whether you like it or not ... and then the tyrants deny "deep states" whether on the positive or negative side of the line of pragmatism. There we loose it ... very few even know how pragmatism relates to the 3 Musketeers ... now were shot ... across the line --- Lord Nelson!

Imagine coming up with a way of disrupting the tyranny line ... warp or wolf? Wolf; all that's weft for shuttling ...

I chose to retire when I did because I couldn't respond to change well anymore. There's too much focus on dollars and cents, and not enough on dollars and sense. We're supposed to be professionals who are concerned about the client, not just the bottom line. While some business principles will help in many areas, including health care, business principles should not rule. The move to corporate health care has not been good. :cautious:
 
I'm looking forward to meeting a few other women who have a similar diagnosis as mine today. We're going to have lunch together.

My employer, and this is part of why I am still there, actually tries to break that mold, balancing patient-centric care with fiscal responsbility. We probably have tighter margins than our competitors but we feel it is worth to maintain that reputation for quality care. Being privately held so that we don't have to keep shareholders happy helps. We are owned by a family and the late "pater familias" (to borrow a Roman term) was very concerned that quality of care be part of our guiding principles. I have known both him and his son, the current chair of the board, personally over the years which really makes a difference vs. dealing with a bunch of shareholders who are just worried about their dividends.

That said, I know from experience that we are exceptional and too many health care companies are focussed more on the bottom line than on the care.
 
It's exhausting to work in an environment that only focusses on the bottom line. There is research out there that suggests that when you focus on nurses' wellbeing in health facilities, patient care will improve. Focusing on patient care alone with the costing stuff backfires. I did better in environments where they cared about the wellbeing of service providers.

Funnily enough, work-life balance is one of the areas we've identified to improve on after our last employee engagement survey (yes, my corporate group actually acts on those).

That's awesome. They talk about the importance of self-care in our work. Unfortunately, there is rarely room for some of that. There needs to be some systemic involvement to make it more feasible. I worked in Chatham many years ago. We wouldn't book clients on Friday afternoons if we could arrange it. Friday afternoons were when we could get paperwork done then connect casually as a team. I still remember seeing my supervisor laughing with tears rolling down her cheeks. We forget about the importance of that kind of connecting.

Mendalla ... you have an exception employer in this age where protocol is capital concern!
 
I think that perhaps this discussion indicates why I can't take life too seriously! Again ... if I didn't laugh I'd cry!

The white light lie about christian love for self and the alternate is a joke in the realm of business only concerns!

I recess to the deep state ... if only to watch the crap float by. In the USA Trump says they flush their toilets many times ... a indication of strange sorts?
