Q&A with Nannypea

I get a lot of the same questions so I thought I'd do a little Q&A. I’m going to give the REAL answers and not the normal “oh fine thanks.” Feel free to leave comments or send me an email with more questions.

Q: You look good, you back to normal now?
A: I have hair now with a short hair cut. You can’t tell I have a titanium plate in my head or see all the scars. Normal for me will never be as it was before. I’m still trying to find out what normal is now. So the answer is no.

Q: So you ready to start back to work?
A: This always bothers me because I look normal and if I’m at the top of my game (rested up and ready) I can pass off as a pretty normal person. This doesn’t last for long but I never put myself in situations where it has to. The short answer is no.

Q: Well why can’t you work?
A: I cannot even say my ABC’s. I still sleep for 12 hrs a night and I’m on enough seizure meds to knock out a horse. Work is not in the future.

Q: When are you going to start driving again?
A: I do not know. Legally I have to be seizure free for 6 months. I’m currently at about 3. Duke does offer a test that evaluates your driving skills. At the moment it does not appear that I would get close to passing. I cannot multitask and that poses problems with driving.

Ok that’s enough for now. Off for a nap!

BOYCOTT Holt Lake BBQ & Seafood

I didn't realize it had been so long since I'd updated the blog. I've spent time Mom and Dad, having lots of fun. Dad's retired so I can just ride around with him all day.
Oh yeah....

BOYCOTT Holt Lake BBQ & Seafood

I went in for dinner last week and was refused a child's plate. Even though I've been off chemo for almost 3 months I still have a problems eating. Heck I had to get over the smell of fish when I walked in just so I could eat. I get overwhelmed with lots of food so I get kid's plates every where I go. Never been refused. Until that night.

The waitress was very nice and told us how her Boss had advised them in the last staff meeting that only children were allowed to eat a child's plate. That if she sold me one, she'd get fired.

***wait a minute - waitresses have to go to staff meetings?!?***

I was kinda amazed. Here I am, a cancer patient being refused a small plate of food. It's not like there were not 3 adults ordering BIG plates with BIG prices with me. Or that the item should be priced in accordance with how much food is on the plate, not the age of the person eating it.

Dad decides he's going to go ask the owner what the deal is. He explains that his daughter is with him and my situation. The owner says, OK we'll do it THIS TIME. Oh that was it. How can you not sell a small plate of food to someone with a small appetite? Why do I have to waste food?

We would have left but we'd already ordered and were waiting for the last person to arrive. She got there as they were putting the plates on the table.

By the way, I didn't eat anything. I refused to order food that I would not eat.
No way in hell I'm ever going to eat anything there again.

I've told everyone I've seen not to eat there and the reason. To my surprise everyone I talked to says they don't eat there anyway!
