Getting Out

I finally got out of the house today.  Had a late morning doctor's follow-up for my toe.  Not surprisingly, my doctor was not in, so I got "Dr. Fred," who is not a doctor, per say.  He asked me if my toe was infected - duh...I don't know...


Anyway, I get with my friend, and she tells me she is going to die on April 11.  What does one say, or how does one react?  I just went along with her, but no, thank you, I do not want her clothing.  I told her that if her husband was 10 years older, I would consider him.  Again, just joking, but it didn't phase her.  I am fighting so hard to live, to SURVIVE!!!   


Anyway, one more thing to cross off my medical list, such as it was.  I'm sure I will get a bill for about $50 from Fred.


We did go walking at Dancer Park; not sure why it is named that, but it held no memories and felt safe, at least in daylight.

The irony. First you have a toe appointment, and end up in Dancer Park :) I've never experienced anyone joking about their death around me. Not sure how I'd react to that one. Hang in there kiddo. You are doing good. Out and about with a friend, even one with tasteless humor, that is a very good thing. Yes, you are well on your way! Scott

She was totally serious. She went off her meds last Fall, I was told. At some point she must have had a nervous breakdown or something. Not sure, but I hope someone gets her to her doctor! She moved the date up to this Friday...

I coudn't walk very long at the park. My toe will be tender for several weeks, most likely. By the way, Fred's last name is Durr...

Pray for my friend; she's the one who helped me move this last time.
