absent

[Lorenzo]

hi all, sorry for not being very active and present here. I'm having a pretty rough week in terms of doctors here at home and also at work with a lot, lot, lot of stress, frustration and anger producing situations. i have to keep my sanity and deal with all this, however it will all pan out. right now, resignation from the job sounds like a good option. in the end, i have to think of my health. one thing that comes to mind regarding doctors: if you have to deal with the medical system, be sure to at the height of your health!
ciao, lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo:

Sorry for the 'bad day' (to put it mildly, I'm sure).
Life can be one bad hair day sometimes.
You've always been there for us - 
anything we can do for you?  ....  I have a cousin Guido,we call him godfather, i can call if you like....   lol

Hope things improve.  Best remedy:  kick back, deep breath, glass of Chianti, hug from the wife, great memories.....

Take care buddy, Nancy.

[Lorenzo]

you gys are doing a lot for me as it is, just by being there. thanks nancy, appreciate your support. i won't even go into the details of the stuff, some i can't (medical, one threat of legal action is enough) the other is just to convoluted and tedious. suffice to say that i don't get low very easily but all this knocked me right back.

medical stuff was yesterday, trip to see my docs. fruitless to put it in a mild way. won't even start. at the same it's not the medical opinion that i value the most, so that's ok.

thanks for the offer. does your cousin travel?

kicking back, oh ya, forgot about that. glass of chianti, hemmm... then i won't sleep much.

omg, i even type without caps!  madonna, i must be bad!

Ciao, Lorenzo

At risk of sounding old before my time
- its usually PAR for the course (medical folk in general)
I dont know why exactly
I find the average Walmart temp rather more helpful
than someone supposedly in "caring" proffession......
I actually vowed to hit the next idiot that told me
"you are not a priority" - so they could fully understand the meaning ?
Anyhow - part of a search involves not only finding the right
"next move" - but also discounting the "wrong move"
If you learned one thing today
- dont go there again ?
just a guess...
Hope you have a better day tomorrow
Best regards
Tony

BIG HUG TO YOU LORENZO

[Lorenzo]

Thanks again! Love the moving green wishes Kathy!    THANK YOU!!!   Very irish....    LOL   

As for not going there again, you're right Tony. One would ideally 'not go there' again. Hopefully I won't have to either. Shame that due to the previous 'problem' (the treat one) I am left with one option when it comes to a doc with some expertise in the field, and that's him. And that's for the entire country, not just locally. So, I learned to steadfastily rely on my docs in Stanford and pray that nothing is ever going to happen to me that requires a faster response than 20 hours. That's as long as it would take me to go to Stanford! 

I will have a better day tomorrow, I'm sure of it. You all have helped me in that, and I really appreciate it! 

Ciao, Lorenzo

NOw, how the heck did you get that text moving???  LOL LOL LOL

lorenzo,

sorry to hear about your bad day.  we all have them.  see i am typing without caps also - solidarity!

we also have a "guido" in my husband's family.  as a matter of fact, he is related to tony in the sopranos!!!  let us know, guidos are standing by...



hugs and cheers,
mary

[Lorenzo]

Ah friends, I'm smothered with hugs, thanks so much!

I must be one of the few Italians that doens't have a Guido. I do have a Paolo, in fact that's the only sibling I have. He also looks more the part of the Italian thann me, the real thing, DARK. So the Guidos are standing by? Excellent. Do they offer discount for multiple 'jobs'? Have a few in mind...   
I'm doing better. I'm getting used to the situation at the college and I / we made the resolution to keep out of all the nonsense as much as possible and not be involved too much in the place. It's a question of self-preservation. We're taking a step back from it all, do our jobs and forget about the rest, including any social aspects with certain 'colleagues'. Sigh... Ah well, other fish to fry.
Glad I have friends to keep up the morlae!
Ciao, Lorenzo

[Kathleen_Mc]

Hey folks can I borrow your relatives.....got an ex. that needs "turning up" and that will great decrease my stress and headaches and vertigo! (I don't have money though but I'll do anything for "family")

[Lorenzo]

Hi Kathleen,
I can see there's an opening for another 'support' group out there...  Guido & Co, could call it, Surgical precision could be thier motto.
Ciao, Lorenzo

Here's hoping things get better for everyone!  xox
