Dealing with More
of the Unexpected
September 20, 2003
Dealing with anger. In some ways of
thinking a door that opens us to ill health (cancer in particular)
is inappropriate ways of dealing with anger. I decided to
review my anger history. There's lots and there's and many
ways that I dealt, or didn't deal, with cancer I can see as
unproductive psychologically. Today I dealt with a couple of
issues in ways that were meant to actually create positive
outcomes. I turned off the drama and the emotionalism.
It feels pretty good. Just talking and not blaming.
Following through on a project I have been putting off (and
feeling anger about it) because of how someone else might take it.
Not my job - to decide what someone else's problems are.

Today I am the Dr. Jekyll-Ms. Hyde cancer
patient. One moment I feel positive and even courageous, the
next minute I want to cry. Not just weep but wail and tear
at my non-existent hair. That lasts a very short while and
then I am happy once more. What a life.

Last night I broke 2 teeth. Amazingly, I
was able to get a dentist appointment for tomorrow. Amazing
because I don't have a local dentist yet. I opted for the
fellow who created a great medicine to heal mouth sores.
That way, if I have a problem again I will have made contact.

My goodness, 3 teeth, not 2. I now am the
proud owner of 3 partial crowns. The dentist has the latest
technology. The crowns were made in his office. No
impression, no waiting. Really cool. It was not worse
than getting a filling - a lot more expensive.
He says that his medicine is good for folks who
are having trouble swallowing because of the dryness of the throat
and mouth as well. He is applying for a patent. He
says that your mouth is better in the first day.
