Again, the cantina prayers are heard loud and clear. If you ever need relief come here and you will get it.

I spent last week seeing drs. and having another MRI done. After laying one and a half hours perfectly still and have a dr. try to rearrange my insides digitally :eek: :barf: :grumpy: the results are pretty certain that it's just a bad case of the "Roid" brothers visiting......ie, fibroids and hemeroids :barf: :barf: :barf: So we will deal with the bleeding accordingly. Hopefully mother nature will kick in with the onset of menopause.....or is that mentalpause......and fix everything. If not I will have the surgery to remove all the extra parts sometime next year. It's a serious inconvenience, but I'm not in the position to take enough time off right now to deal with it. Since it's not life threatening....just a pain in the arse.....it can wait for my schedule :rolleyes:

So once again thanks so much for your prayers. They have been answered positively.

On other notes......police work continues and I will begin work on the streets this week. I graduate tonight and begin the shadowing phase where we go out with a more experienced VAP to see how they handle different scenes. I'm looking forward to it. Working with victims is not a fun job, but meeting peoples needs at the most needed times in their lives will be both rewarding and satisfying. The youngest victim to come in while I've been working so far was a 5 year old boy assaulted by his grandfather who is my age.....good thing I'm not the cop.....I would not handle that very well. The youngest victim we have dealt with at the center was a 3 week old baby girl....I'm sorry but that guy needed to be castrated.....a 3 week old....that is just sick. So that's life in the dept. Rape, Pillage and Plunder....I get them all now. What's wrong with our society.....but that's a whole different thread.

Thanks again. You guys are the greatest. :D ;)
 
Whew, dodged another one, lady. Very glad it's not worse.

Congratulations on finishing the training.
 
Good news, Gin. Thanks!

and I don't know how LEO's do it. My wife was telling me about the dichotomy of emotional attachment in nursing. You have to care, in order to become a nurse, but have to step back in order to do the job.

So how police can go home after what they see in a day... I couldn't do it. Salutes to you on two counts.

Very good to hear that it doesn't seem to be serious, Gin. Kudoes to you for doing what you do.
Honestly, I think I could do police work, but i would be one emotionally distant SOB. They do a tough job, with little thanks and less money.
Keep us posted, Gin:)

I'm glad that things are going well - mostly well, in any event.

I've known some people in that line of work that got burned out; when you're dealing with the dregs of society day in and day out one can sometimes develop the impression that everyone is bad. Be careful that this doesn't happen to you.

Best of luck with everything.
 
Glad to hear its not super serious Gin,

On your job, your gonna see the worst part of life, learn to leave it at work, dont bring it home w/ ya
 
May love surround, fill, protect and keep you, Gin. May you and your family have peace beyond measure, and love above knowing. May you rise with a smile on your face, and lie down to peaceful sleep, and may you always know you are never alone.

Love,

John
 
After working in the Medical field since '93 from EMT, Army Medic, and Nurse I sympathize with what you have to deal with as a LEO. Best thing I can say is focus on the ones you were able to help and don't dwell on those you could not.
 
That's about the best news I've heard this week, Gin. I've been wondering and almost sent an e-mail a couple times but didn't want to be a bother.

Good luck with the job, now!

Still on the list, BTW.

Gin,
Glad to hear things are going okay. Will keep up the prayers if you don't mind, considering your job I've got a feeling you may have further need of 'em.

Funny how things work out. My son was going to be a social worker. His visits to "clients" as a student convinced him that physical security was necessary before anything else, so now he's a LEO. His first employment was with a department that tried to convince new officers that they should not look at victims as people at all - just cases. He has since moved on and is much happier with his new department. (That first department averages turnover equal to almost 100% of the total number of positions per year. In two years he was senior of twelve on night shift.)
 
That is such good news Gin. We'll keep the prayers going anyhow.

My wife had fibroid surgery February of 2003. The surgeons told us that fibroids are almost NEVER malignant. However while they were in there, they went ahead and did a complete hysterectomy and appendix removal.

This was incredibly fortunate because in one of Anne's ovaries they found a malignant growth. The fortunate thing was that it was completly encased there and had not spread.

If they had not done the surgery to remove the fibroids, Anne would not be with us today. My hands are shaking as I write this. We would never have known until it was too late.

Our prayers are that you come out clean and have no further problems.

Sometimes events like this can be a blessing in disguise. I know that sounds really screwy, but it was a blessing for us!
