Feeling yucky
As some may recall our home was struck by lightening about 2 weeks ago. It "fried" a lot of appliances including my new remote pacemaker monitoring system. So I have not been monitored since. Here is the problem. I am feeling like ?$%! I have talked to the Dr. (he is the one who told me to be quiet and stop fidgeting) ugh. I have an appt. on June 2 and was told unless I get really bad to wait till then to get checked out. :-O
Today, via U.P.S. a brand new Merlin has arrived. I have to program it to read my pacemaker but maybe, just maybe if there is a problem the system will work and someone might call me? I don't know, I am feeling a bit discouraged at this point.
The scar is still hideous. I was in a fashion show last week and the fellow models noticed it and were not very kind with their remarks. Models.... so superficial. comments like "OMG!" & "Did you see Susie's horrible scars" and "I don't know what I would do if I looked like that". I actually stood a bit taller, (I'm 5' 2") and snickered at their lack of intelligence. Then I came home and phoned my Mom in California! She asked if she needed her to come down and kick there behinds. ha ha, my Mom is 79 years old! I know who loves me and I know I am lucky to be alive, but sometimes the scars hurt for the wrong reasons.
Have a good weekend everyone and show your kindness to everyone you meet. There are so many examples here of just how to do that!
Blessings,

Hi Susie,
Your Mom sounds a lot like mine. My mother would say "Do you want me to deck them?" I'm over 200 lbs and my mother could deck me.
You handled this perfectly.
Hang in there and Good Luck on 6/2.
Have a Great Day

Oh gosh, those models. @@ The ignorance of some.
All I can say is beauty fades & Karma is a bitch.

Some makeup covers scars, and time fades them. Don't focus on a surgery scar. And the models, let their words just roll off. Sounds like a nice mom
As for the feeling terrible, get out and enjoy the day. Your doctor is not worried about this, so neither should you. June 2 comes soon enough.
What jerks....

My Mom always said, "What goes around comes around."...and then she says she's going to have to kick some butt........Also, your doctor doesn't sound so nice either!!! Maybe you should think about new folks to hang with, including new doc. I don't have the home monitoring and I always wonder why some do and some don't......hmmmm.
Had to say my two cents.

I am so proud of you for ignoring them. I would have gone off on them likely. The scars are not fun. I am so sorry you still aren't feeling up to par. I wonder if that lighting played a role on your settings.
What a blessing for Merlin to show up. Watch your lights on it to see if it tells you to call into your Dr. I am praying for you a lot. I can't imagine everything you are facing but I can understand the trauma of the scars. Maybe next time you do a fashion show I will have to come and give a talking to the men that were talking. I'm not afraid to show my scars to them and tell them to stop acting like children.
God didn't make us perfect that is for sure but at the end of the day he is the one that has blessed you with people that don't judge you and a hubby that loves you!
Thinking of you!
Love ya,
Tammy
You know you're wired when...
You play MP3 files on your pacer.

One week has passed and I must admit that each day I feel a little stronger.

You guys make me laugh! I love what everyone had to say! It is raining in Wichita area so going outside isn't much of an option... tornados and all, but who knows about tomorrow. I usually feel really awful in the mornings, then by afternoon I feel better, then at night back to feeling yucky. Tonight I will get the monitor hooked up again. We have been to Nebraska to attend our granddaughter's graduation.
Yes, my Mom is quite a woman. Half French and Half Mexican! I learned early on not to make her really mad. eh he... She taught me a lot about how to handle things and I am so thankful for that, but every once in awhile I need to hear her advice and be the daughter. It makes me feel good and she loves the fact that I still "need" her :-)
Thanks again for your endless display of kindness.
