i can't believe i haven't written about my latest Knee-Bunion Adventure: i'm driving around Houston traffic in a huge, RED Silverado truck. If i didn't stick out like a turd in a punchbowl before, i certainly do now!
week before last, a little old man accidentally backed into my car while it was parked in the Valet Parking at the Radiation Center. It happened 20 minutes before i came outside. It's covered by insurance, the little guy wasn't hurt and i was able to drive it for the few days it took to get the details of getting it fixed worked out. The biggest drawback was that i had to get in and out on the passenger's side for several days.
I know the odds are higher here of meeting another person with Sarcoma,but it seemed really weird that the little ole man who hit me also had it. Bless his heart, his tumor was on his jaw and was as large as an avacado. He is also getting radiation treatment.
He felt so bad about hitting my car that he had tears in his eyes as he was telling me he would pay for the damage if his insurance didn't. The cops were talking to him when i left, so i didn't get to tell him good-bye, or that everything would work out. I hope he's doing ok.

Big Red Truck, WTF?

I've been out of town, so I just spent the last 30 min. or so catching up on your blog. The "WTF" title reminded me of something I saw at Costco yesterday that I wanted to share with you. The kids were eating hot dogs (Costco is THE place to eat lunch, in case you don't know), and I noticed a middle school aged boy sitting with his mother, a nerdy, school teacher looking person with glasses, little make-up, clothes that looked like they were home-made AND 20 years old (a la Mrs. Keene, our junior high home ec teacher; remember the unbaked peanut butter bars we made? Yum.)and that spacey simper that comes from taking Prozac (since I'm a teacher, criticism is also self-directed). Anyway (s I'm telling), they were eating pizza, and the boy had a CD or DVD (I'm so nerdy, I don't know which it is)that had a big "WTF" on the cover. He's perusing it, and his mother is beaming at him in her spacey way, and I wonder if she has any idea what "WTF" means. I'd bet a million dollars she didn't.
