OOPS!!<br /><br />Now that I am playing the right game, I started with $2,000 today and when I cashed out at 8PM EST I had a balance $3,060.25.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095022656874531523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336244224223081633.post-30062946032972526132009-06-24T18:10:10.956-07:002009-06-24T18:10:10.956-07:00I wish all my patients were as grateful and unders...I wish all my patients were as grateful and understanding as you two. I had a patient call the office at 9 AM yesterday demanding to be seen the same day for what she thought was food poisoning. I was only in the office until noon yesterday and the emergency appointments were filled. She became irate when it was suggested that she should go to the ER if she was too ill to wait until the next day. Three hours later she was in the office to sign a record release for another doctor. Then she sent an e-mail complaining about our office and my office manager to the hospital CEO, the Vice president of medical affairs and another VP. I had to address that this morning. <br /><br />When I see what you two are going through I just want to slap these people who have absolutely no clue what it is like to really be sick!<br /><br />You guys hang in there. Love you both. I'll be there in a week for Nurse Dee's next union break. It will be much easier than work!<br /><br />VicVickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12381602610282698937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336244224223081633.post-4779516857589989042009-06-24T14:52:24.675-07:002009-06-24T14:52:24.675-07:00Game Players...First of all, who's playing?

Time period of playing? - Could there be a weekly winner posted on Sunday night at 8pm Houston time with a new game beginning on Monday morning 8am?<br /><br />Chemo Sabe and Dee...You two are amazing!! Your gratitude for the hospital resources and your ability to roll with the setup are exceptional qualities for all of us to admire. As a bright light in this sometimes dim universe, thanks for being our role models during this challenging journey.<br /><br />xoxo,<br />Bonnie and JackieUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13932351954948534449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336244224223081633.post-13350205020084578302009-06-24T13:37:07.721-07:002009-06-24T13:37:07.721-07:00Okay I now have the correct game, I think and star...Okay I now have the correct game, I think and started back at $2,000. I think we are all on track now, so let the games begin. My first observation is that this game is not as generous as the one I was playing but we shall see. <br /><br />Dee and Chemo sabe hope day three was uneventful and tolerable.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095022656874531523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336244224223081633.post-88780631176749980732009-06-24T10:39:48.563-07:002009-06-24T10:39:48.563-07:00as the novice slot player in the tournament, I cam...as the novice slot player in the tournament, I came to realize that I was not playing the same game, and also figured out that I could take more money from the atm than the $500 it said I had. I started over, with $2000 and found the 5 coin max machine, with the $10,000 jackpot. so as they say - a day late and a dollar short. I am warming up my fingers. Thanks for the update on Chemo-sabe. Hope today is a good day for you both, and i will be back to post scores later.Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00590041432631845269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336244224223081633.post-64483820671966233912009-06-24T08:23:40.258-07:002009-06-24T08:23:40.258-07:00Cathie, Cathie, Cathie - you crack me up. I got a...Cathie, Cathie, Cathie - you crack me up. I got a vision of a "Silence of the Lambs" type mask and a gag. Karen would love the gag part of the costume just to keep me quiet. Then I could accessorize the outfit with my Blue Bonnet, Vic's wedding pumps and Wendy's orange purse:) You are correct, work would not appreciate the outfit, but they do know me so they would certainly understand. <br />Speaking of work - time to get back to it so I have some time later to up my slot score<br />Two days marked off the calendar toward the cure!!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095022656874531523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336244224223081633.post-85053367100519020512009-06-24T06:50:29.863-07:002009-06-24T06:50:29.863-07:00Well Michelle I was thinking that we should level ...Well Michelle I was thinking that we should level the playing field and maybe get you a mouth stent, face mask and some good sleep meds... can't Karen help you with this? and them you and chemo sabe would have similar playing environments... hmmm maybe your job might not appreciate that but it certainly is a vision to rival the Blue Bonnet pix we all have in our minds! And Karen might want to go all the way and strap you down... hmmm... Well that is my best cheerleader suggestion!<br /><br />At this rate it sounds like you two are going to pass out just from the schedule forget all of that chemo & radiation... We better order some Pep pills for Nurse Dee so she can keep up her caretaker duties... thank goodness she has a union break coming up next week... and the stand-in nurse better start eating her Wheaties now!<br />Sending lots of Love, Hugs, Visualizations & Blessings, Cathie & Evelyncathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392106819774193374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336244224223081633.post-19500057463387076832009-06-23T21:51:01.807-07:002009-06-23T21:51:01.807-07:00Okay so I am shaking as I type. Why the big lapse...Okay so I am shaking as I type. Why the big lapse between chemo and radiation? Is there no way MD Anderson can make those two modalities, chemo and radiation, more complimentary in terms of timing? Seems to me that minimizing the negative affects is tantamount to cure - not the opposite. <br />Youse (NJ speak for the plural of you) need to have a chat with the scheduler at MD Andresen. Be demanding - this schedule sucks and should be more complimentary to your needs.<br />Most of you know I am a tad bit inpatient and hate having my time wasted. This just irks me.<br />Okay I got that off my chest. Back to the slots tournament. <br />My current score is 7216 credits. I fear we are not playing the same game. The max score on my vegas slots game is 5,000 credits. Did I mention I hit that yesterday? How did chemo sabe hit 10K? <br />As I thought about it, I thought perhaps the radiation played a part, but screw that - this is a competition. What game are you playing?<br />Tell MD Andersen that Chemo sabe is engaged in a very competivite slot tournament and albeit not her primary focus; a diversion none the less and she needs to be available to compete. This way we eliminate any excuse for why I have kicked her butt!!!<br />Looking forward to talking in the am. <br />xoxoxMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095022656874531523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336244224223081633.post-50946406599204521302009-06-23T21:38:17.234-07:002009-06-23T21:38:17.234-07:00What's that quote Toni said earlier in the jou...What's that quote Toni said earlier in the journey? Something like "Hang on to your tits girls, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!"? Well, hopefully the bumps won't last too much longer. Just know we are thinking of you both and love you very much! We're off to St. Louis tomorrow (if we can get out). We'll be in touch!<br />Love you, Becky, JP and RooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
