Frankly, terrified

Posted on February 26, 2018 by suziecreamcheese

Still no biopsy results.   All the signs and signals are screaming at me that it’s going to be fine, that it’s benign, that he’s fine, he’ll be fine, he’ll recover from the surgery and all will be well. He’s so … Continue reading →

He’s home

Posted on February 23, 2018 by suziecreamcheese

I’ll admit it

Posted on February 17, 2018 by suziecreamcheese

I hate Hawkeye Pierce.  I hate his self-righteous, annoying pronouncements.  I hate his laugh.   I hate everything about him.   I hate BJ Honeycutt, too.    I wish he’d take his crying ass back to his stupid wife and kid and … Continue reading →

Oh Chondritis

Posted on February 3, 2018 by suziecreamcheese
