rogue hedge trimmer
Jeez that's a good band name. Or horror movie title.. or....
Why the fuck is my neighbour employing someone to trim his new little hedge at 10pm. That is odd.
Just want to say thank you all again for the support yesterday. Truly a supportive space here with great advice. After going into the eye and ear today for a follow up her schedule has reduced which means less refusal and it's going to be a bit easier for her.
i think my upbringing is messing me up atm.
Old man was/is a sub specialist looking after acute disease / end of life stuff. Emotion is completely out the window when it comes to care (shit needs to get done with a clear mind). I was on the phone from about 13yo speaking to these patients when he wasn't home (which was a lot) and all I could do was listen to that fear. They just wanted someone to hear them (emotionally). Used to go on rounds with him and he has a very good bed side manner, but once out of the room back into get shit done mode.
Seeing mum in her chair just staring at the ground depressed is heartbreaking. Asking me to read texts from buds is heartbreaking. Her telling me the old man hasn't said a nice word since (he's in doc mode) is rough. I'm sort of caught between being someone she can speak to with emotion, but then I have to switch my own on and off depending on what needs to happen. When you leave the room it's a tidal wave of the realisation of a new reality for her.
All my discussions with the old man are clinical (and it needs to be), but I can see a few cracks in his demeanour which is.. unusual and.. heartbreaking (and telling).
I don't really have hope that her vision will recover beyond where it is now. But flipping emotion on and off like this is something I've never done.
Hope you're feeling better. jaegermeister can be a slippery slope at times.
ooh good save. After a few water events over the last few years water scares the shit out of me now. You did good.
Bathtub pizza oven! Now that is not something I've seen before.
9/20 not gonna be rocket dentist anytime soon.
if you head to studley park boathouse the geese will try you.
Ted might go for the behind but he's a misunderstood audiophile at heart.
I'm going to remove all doubt and just use the ground myself.
Thavk you
