ECT Meets PMS (and it's not pretty)

I've just realized that the last week or so of entries is not even related to cancer, but people and how people act.

Yesterday I had my pre op Dr's appointment in a new building with a new doctor. I understand that I have lived here almost 4 years (yikes-really) now and I should be a little bit more familiar with the territory, but I'm not. So, I left in PLENTY of time (and for those who live in TX this is probably the hardest thing to adjust to-to get to the Everglades from my house-I live right by the ocean-takes(in traffic) a maximum of 25 minutes) so the dr is about 18 minutes from my house, anyway I was supposed to be there at 10:35 and I left at 9:30.

True story, I dropped by Walmart for a few items and then headed there at 10:10. I got a little lost (which in in itself is funny since I had to make all of two turns to get where I was going) and I was in unfamiliar territory and on the phone.

I can't help it, the phone rings and I have to answer it, especially if its someone new I haven't talked to in a while and Stacey called to tell me good luck. She's probably rethinking that for next time.

ANYWAY, I was roaming around the very small ridiculous parking lot for a satellite hospital with three buildings , looking for a parking space. This nice man flagged me down and pointed to his car. So I was backing up for him to be able to get out of the space and this car behind me refused to move, I kept motioning for him to go around and he just sat there. Meanwhile the guy backing out can't move unless I move, so I pull forward and the guy backs out. And that stupid Mother F'er pulls in MY spot. I (still on the phone, threw it in the seat) got out of the car and he rolled up his windows as quickly as possible, I knocked on the window and he refused to look at me. I said THIS IS MY SPACE and he just stared ahead.

So I remarked that he had enough balls to steal my space but not enough balls to open the door? Got back in the car and drove off mad as a wet hen. I mean MAD and unreasonable. Poor Stacey, she got the ear full.

So I thought we were done and I found a new parking place and headed into the building. I got off the phone and realized I was in the wrong building and now it's 10:41 and I have to fill out paper work. So I called their office and she was "walking" me through getting to her building and I was in a breeze way and I hear "Hey white bitch in the turquoise (did you think any other color) shorts, what you need isn't a parking space, it's my huge nigga' dick to suck on ( WOW really you are yelling that across the parking lot genius)

And he kept going "I know you neva know what it's like to have a huge black dick giving you what you" and he stopped. (Holy COW REEAALLYYY???)

I was in shock and just kept walking with my head down. This was probably because Stacey reminded me after my first encounter, that the person was probably not right. Then I hear him SCREAMING F this and F that and at this point I looked up to watch a security guard escort the man off the premises. He was whining about losing his job if he couldn't take a "piss test". Aw, poor thing, what goes around comes around buddy!!

So I FINALLY find the Dr's office and my heart is going 90 to nothing. Got in there, got back in the room and then sat and sat and sat. By the time Dr. Newdr came in I was good and relaxed. We went through my entire history and he continually answered the phone. I was like "what the hell" why are you answering the phone. Didn't the Dr University give you the course in uncaring non-phone-call-returning manners. The fourth time he did this ECT let out a sigh and when he got off he phone he explained to me that while this was annoying right now, when he gets calls he takes them right then and there, period. Valid point, annoying when your in the office completely cool when your calling.

So he sums up my history and then says he doesn't require a rectal exam (seriously). Yea, right, like that was going to happen. Got an EKG, blood work and chest xray. I have no idea if I'll find out anything I bet I find out if something is wrong.

So I finished with all that at 1:45 and mind you I haven't eaten since 8:45 the NIGHT BEFORE and although I don't find myself moody or unreasonable, it's possibly that's not an accurate call on my account. I did have a bit of a headache and backache and they took at least 18 viles blood, so I was a little light headed. But it was Nick's first day of 8th grade and I was determined to be there on time when he got out. If you saw the crowd that he was released with you would be there too.

To get to his school all the newbie Mom's block traffic the first week of school, this is my 4th year to do this, so I know some short cuts. One of the short cuts is through an retirement apartment. I don't usually go through there because I know it annoys the residents and rightfully so. In 3 years of driving there I think I've done this one other time. So I turn to go through there to 1) not miss Nick 2) avoid all the newbies. Out of no where jumps an elderly man and stands RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY CAR. I move to one side, he moves ,I move to the other side, he moves. I have already made it obvious that I am in full ECT mode and now add in PMS and it gets ugly.

I roll down the window and he starts yelling at me to get off his property. I responded with "it's not your probably dumbass, it's the cities and there is no "no trespassing" sign posted so I am free to do as I wish and if you don't move your self I WILL HIT you."

He probably thought I was kidding.

I wasn't. I would have hit him.

He screamed at me as I drove by. Didn't see him today, thank God. Funny thing, I was driving Will's car which has like 47 stickers on the back of it HUGE stickers MARKING stickers. So I hope one night when I go to Public for a run I don't come out to a jobless black man holding his junk and a white bald guy beating my car with a bat.

Maybe I should just get a sign that says "Not Friendly, don't provoke"
