    Are You Sane?  During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director which is the criteria that defines a patient to be institutionalized. "Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub. We offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient, and ask the patient to empty the bathtub." OK, here's your test: (Those with an abnormal tendency will scroll to the bottom to get the answer before taking the test.)             1. Would you use the spoon?             2. Would you use the teacup?             3. Would you use the bucket? "Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would choose the bucket as it is larger than the spoon." "No," answered the Director. "A normal person wouldpull the plug

    Angel-5.jpg picture by chemosabi1

    Today, I would like to tell you all about my sister Angel. Her real name was Angelica, but we called her Angel. She was 4 years older than me and as teenagers we always did things together. Had fun and got into trouble.

    She was the oddball in our Italian family as she had blonde hair and green eyes. Where did that come from? We loved each other and yet there were times we would get into fist fights. Today, if things were different - she would be turning 62 today. She would be enjoying 4 grand children she never met. She would be the one holding what is left of my family together.

    Instead, she is not with us. She lost her life at the age of 46 to Ovarian Cancer. I miss her. Sometimes I think she is still out there, just a phone call away. I woke up this morning feeling the same emptiness I felt when we lost her 16 years ago.

    She loved butterflies and whenever I see a Monark, I know its her saying hello to me. She is my guardian angel and many times I say a prayer to her - looking for some advice. Although Im sure she laughs when I pray to her asking that the Bears win a football game - cause she hated football.

    I have been sitting here at my computer for 2 hours now. Woke up at 5:00 am excited it was the week-end and I could just come here and enjoy talking to everyone. I have not been able to write one word. Not anywhere. I guess its time to just be honest with everyone - as I know some of you are wondering whats up with me.

    Lately I am finding it difficult to post. The reality has hit me once again, that like many of you, I have gone through an awful thing with this breast cancer. I think I tried to hide my feelings and say to myself - oh yes - you are a survivor. I look at myself and dont know who I see. I dont know who I am. I dont know where Im going.

    I used to get so much pleasure and support coming to these breast cancer sites. Now - Im finding it hard to even turn on the computer. For most of my life, I devoted myself to nursing. That always came first - above everything else. I had alot of passion and put my heart into helping others. Im tired. Tired of defending myself to people I dont really know and that I would never have met - were it not for breast cancer. I know in the real world I touch many lives. As a young nurse I was always drawn to those who were diagnosed with cancer. Somehow I was given a gift - to reach out and make people who were suffering speak to me in words they would speak to no one else. I have been with too many people as they passed on to another life and I think that has finially caught up with me.

    I search for the reason I am still drawn to these boards.

    So yes, Im sad today. I think I need to keep myself busy today. Maybe go exercise to some fun music. Maybe take Mister for a walk. Maybe do some retail therapy. I dont know - somehow my perspective on life needs to change.

    As a young nurse I was taught by the writings of Dr. Elizabeth Kubler Ross. The 5 stages of cancer. Acceptance being the last stage. I dont think I have gotten there yet, and wonder if I ever will.

    You are all such good friends, and I thank you for the times you brought me up when I was down. I try to post like I used to, saying something to everyone - and now my words seem so empty.

    May you all have a wonderful day. Hopefully when I come back, I will be in better spirits.

    Nicki - You are allowed to feel blue, especially on your sisters birthday.   I'm sure your sister is looking down on you and sorrounding you with her love. As a nurse, you have to be there for all your patients and that must also take a toll on you.  You are only human.  Nurses are our angels on earth!  You don't have to be strong today.  It's okay to feel your feelings...remember the only way to get to acceptance is to feel your feelings.  It's okay to feel.  Wishing you loads of TLC today.
