when it rains it pours

Well, I called to get my dentist appointment.  Seems my dentist is out on medical leave.  Luckily, my dentist works with her dad and her husband- all dentists, so I was able to get in with her husband this Thursday.  My first thought was that she must be having a baby or something- she is about my age- has twin daughters and a younger son- not sure about the ages but they are all under 10.  Nope- not pregnant.  She has Lymphoma cancer :(  Wow!  Not expecting that!!!  She is so cute, young, and cheery.  Why does this crap have to happen to people like us???? Ok- really, why does it have to happen to anyone at all.  I just have never really 'known' anyone with cancer before except 1 childhood friend that passed away young.  Now all the sudden I am seeing way more than my fair share of it.  BOO!  I am now completely bummed out.  I will have to find out from her husband where she is getting treated- maybe we can get our sick selves together for an afternoon and commiserate.

Edited to add:  You have really got to be kidding me!  I called my podiatrist- phone disconnected. Website deleted.  NOTHING.  I guess the aliens came and picked him up or something.  This was already the 2nd podiatrist that I have used in town.  1st one was pretty shady.  Maybe 3rd one will be a charm....if there even IS a 3rd one.  People are not making this stuff easy on me, that's for sure.

  1. Argh, life isn't making it easy for you, is it? Lymphoma is really scary and what is it with podiatrists???

    I found something on FB that I thought might make you laugh:
