Little Bitty Thoughts
About this Mac: It has a touch pad. One fingertip controls the cursor; two fingertips control the scrolling ability. I keep confusing the two! Also, I am used to the controling the cursor movement with a fingertip and then activating it with a tap on the pad. On this Mac, I have to click the bottom bar to activate the cursor so I can do something.
Hmmm, I need to find out how to put pictures here. No, that didn’t work!
The other thing I am finding a bit odd is that the keys are “squishier” than I am used to on the desktop but since this is the only computer I will have when I go to Italy, I need to practice. Actually, Carol, la prof’s friend I had lunch with, showed me on the map where an Internet cafe was in relation to the school in Lucca. It is within a short walking distance of the school.
I got a phone call scheduling my MRI on a day and time that I had specifically said I would not be available. I mean, if you say, “I will not be available on Tuesdays or Thursdays between 11:15 and 12:45.” wouldn’t you be a little surprised to get an appointment on a Thursday at 11:15? Anyway, I got it rescheduled for a time and date when I could actually go. I am actually feeling a little apprehensive about this. Oh, it is not the MRI itself. I actually AM a little claustrophobic but apparently not in an MRI machine. I don’t like the noise very much but not enough to request a tranquilizer, No, what is a tiny little stone in the bottom of my stomach is the fear that there may actually be a small cancer tumor there in my hip. Well, I will know by the end of this month.

Every life form seems to strive to its maximum except human beings. How tall will a tree grow? As tall as it possibly can. Human beings, on the other hand, have been given the dignity of choice. You can choose to be all or you can choose to be less. Why not stretch up to the full measure of the challenge and see what all you can do? Jim Rohn (motivational speaker/philosopher)

Ci vedo dopo…. see you later…
Probably if I ever had cancer, I would worry about it recurring, just as you do. But I hope your MRI will show no cancer…. and I bet things will turn out just fine! :o) !! hugs, Weesprite

Your fears are understandable, but I have faith that it won’t be cancer! “Just” a hip replacement. 😀

I would be worried too, but it’s hard to worry over the unknown.. worrying over the unknown is defeating yourself.. focus on the things you have control over and knowledge of 🙂 GOOD LUCK

I couldn’t get used to the touch pad scrolling so I deactivated it. With it on when I typed the cursor had a tendency to hop all over the place. I don’t blame you for being a bit apprehensive. This too shall pass. I’ll be sending good thoughts your way that everything will be good.

Just think of the relief that you will feel when you find out that it’s NOT that and the hip replacement will take care of everything! That scheduling stuff is a head-scratcher for sure! It sounds like someone didn’t listen at all!

Sheesh. Scheduling demons. There are times when I wonder if people actually pay attention. Good luck on that MRI.

I know the frustration with scheduling. I also know how difficult it is to accommodate everyone’s scheduling needs though, and if the schedulers are overworked it’s easy for oversights such as yours. I’m glad you got it rescheduled for a time that works. I hope more than anything that there is no cancer. Prayers and hugs!!!

I would be somewhat afraid too knowing what you have already been through. I believe it will all turn out fine though!! hugs, M

I’ll pray that everything is just peachy! I’ve heard (no pun intended) that MRI machines are very noisy.

It is hard not to worry, but I am betting you will be just fine.

I’ve had the same problem with scheduling tests… doctor’s offices really don’t keep it together very well when it comes to things like that, do they? Actually, I think the problem is that it’s like a game of telephone: there are about four levels of separation between you and the person who actually does the scheduling. I’m glad you got it sorted out, and I’m positive you’ll be fine. 🙂

I got my Mac in November – and there are features, I love, love, love and features I struggle with BIG time.

what fun to be learning about the internet cafe. My prayer is there is no cancer, just old age bones. You know something benign like that. I pray healthful blessings be with you my friend.

Better to be safe than sorry.
