My 10-year anniversary--

I just remembered....Oh, sure, at 11:30 at night, I finally remembered...today, 2/23/09, was the 10-year anniversary of when my divorce became final.
I thought surely I'd be married again by now.
(*SIGH*)
Oh well...maybe after my transplant.

It'll pay to think POSITIVE!!

This afternoon, while I'm having a splitting dialysis headache (again), I was reminded that some people haven't yet learned that if you want something to happen, you have to think positive!!!
Apparently my 64-year-old mother hasn't learned this yet. She went ahead and rescheduled our dental appointments, which were originally at the end of April, and set them for the beginning of May. Why???? Because this week, and this month, I will have dialysis on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday????? So automatically I'll have dialysis those three days a week in three months from now????????? I'm supposed to have my transplant before then!!!!!!
I basically had kittens. First of all, my donor is going to finish up his testing next Wednesday, March 4th. He's still in perfect health, his kidneys still work beautifully, so there's really nothing else I have to wait for other than for him to have his nephrectomy, and that shouldn't be too far down the line at all. By April 22, I'll either be having my transplant that week or I will have just had it. How do I know?????? Because I am thinking POSITIVE!!!
According to my experience, in my short life, you've got to think positive if you want something to happen. There's no other way. If you're in bad health, you've got to think positive if you're ever going to feel better. If you want to have a transplant, or a hysterectomy, or in my case both, you've got to think positive.
Somehow, I don't think I'm wrong. Whereas Mom has been married for 40 years, and pretty much stuck here like fine china, I went out into the real world. I met other people. I lived. So I know that for something to happen, you have to think positive. Affirm, even! Affirm yourself to better health. Affirm a transplant & a hysterectomy. Affirm, affirm.
Feedback????!!!!
Now that I got that off my chest....the needle today again didn't hurt going in, but hurt like the devil coming out, and my arm again hurt for a while after the needle came out.
And now that I shared that with you, I've gotta take a quick nap and see if this headache clears up.
