Good nomination, I say.<BR/><BR/>My doctor types with two fingers, but I don't hold that against him.<BR/><BR/>As for the self medication bit with a glass or two of whatever, I'm in great favour of that and practice it regularly.<BR/><BR/>Fra Angelica, now that is such a beautiful drink, but I don't like it adulterated with other substances, by itself on the side of a black coffee is...mmm mmm.<BR/><BR/>Have a good Easter and I'm glad you're feeling better now.

Our waiting rooms are filled with friendly chatter even among strangers. There's always a chatter box who can get everyone involved in conversation.<BR/><BR/>The main reason I never sought another job in a surgeon's office was because of the carry-over feelings of helplessness...of not being able to grant a wish for someone's life to be extended a little longer or just to be cured altogether.<BR/><BR/>Yes, even the help feel this way sometimes, but I'm sure it's greater for you since you are the one they come to for help.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad your blog has made you feel better and you know we are always here to listen to you vent.Sandy Hatcher-Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011307599473627922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-7761061112389429552007-04-07T00:47:00.000+10:002007-04-07T00:47:00.000+10:00Hi Jelly~Since I dont know what to say...

Thank you! I so love reading your thoughtful musings. <BR/>Ross says to tell you he'd never go to a Dr. who types with only 2 fingers (he does so himself...but he's not a Dr. you see). He should make an effort to post his own comments, don't you agree? <BR/>I, on the other hand, find it endearing :) <BR/>I too would rather blog than ride our exercise bike...and I'd rather drink Kahlua and Frangelico (I'm not cultured enough to know what the latter is) and milk than...well, I don't know...I need to taste it first :)<BR/>I'm glad you choose blogging as a method of therapy Jelly. You help us all! :) So please just keep pecking away! xoxoxo<BR/>BTW, you know my smart alec husband was kidding, don't you? He'd choose you over anybody :)Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-89523963814602291502007-04-06T19:48:00.000+10:002007-04-06T19:48:00.000+10:00I was going to comment and leave a brutally honest...I was going to comment and leave a brutally honest answer, but since you'd delete it anyhow, why bother?<BR/><BR/>Yes, the angst and weight of existence is heavy. <BR/><BR/>And it's hard to get from under it without help.<BR/><BR/>Blogging is one of my helps too.John Cowarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01105166273383950695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-55350373656535152402007-04-06T12:09:00.000+10:002007-04-06T12:09:00.000+10:00Hi Jelly, I see you have succeeded in self medicat...Hi Jelly, I see you have succeeded in self medicating by blogging, but with two fingers???! The very act of learning to type, as opposed to hunting and pecking, would be therapeutic and empowering. Think of how you could wow your patients by carrying on with your consultation, keeping eye contact, while entering in all the details in your medical database. Although I do suggest proofreading later!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456736523331076619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-52158097461943947222007-04-06T10:11:00.000+10:002007-04-06T10:11:00.000+10:00Must be something in the air - you know I've been ...Must be something in the air - you know I've been unsettled too. At least you can put your finger on why. I'm blaming the full moon. My GP is a 2 finger typist too - and I wouldn't change her for anything. I'm so glad that blogging helps - keep it up - for all of us. Oh, and to answer your question - you didn't miss a post - I wrote it, but it was too self indulgent, wallowy and whingy, so I need to fix it before I post it.thisismehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01281027325104604961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-48039389547314920012007-04-06T07:24:00.000+10:002007-04-06T07:24:00.000+10:00Jelly, typing with 2 fingers is my Dr's specialty,...Jelly, typing with 2 fingers is my Dr's specialty, & she is wonderful!<BR/><BR/>So glad your vent helped you feel better.<BR/>Thank you for your kind comments on my blog.meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17440241.post-43233523254716674572007-04-06T06:29:00.000+10:002007-04-06T06:29:00.000+10:00Methinks you have had too much caffeine in your di...Methinks you have had too much caffeine in your diet, dear lady, all in an effort to be everything to everybody.<BR/><BR/>Time to slow down, ease your mind, rest and relax. I wish I could fly over to your house and make everything better for you. Neck rub? Cuppa tea? Quiet talk?<BR/><BR/>I loved Susan's solution. It would be a violation of HIPAA to give a patient's name to another patient all in an effort to hook them up to each other. But, it would probably be a match made in heaven, don't you think?<BR/><BR/>My name is Motherkitty and I only occasionally have a drink. If I was in my 30s, I would probably need more than one.
