In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
irksome [urk-suhm]
-adj
1. annoying; irritating; exasperating; tiresome:
2. Obsolete causing weariness or disgust.
[140050; late Middle English; see irk, -some1]
So sorry to hear about your hub.
The O-bots have imbibed the Kool-Aid. Don’t try to convince them with facts. The potion gives them immunity.
i would make his life a living hell until he did something about it. but that’s just me. i pray for you guys, ti, i do.
Definitely irksome. I agree with xs. You need to pester and yell. He should be too young to want to die.
would YOU want me up your butt crossways 24-7, carrying on? i think not. Ti, you need to do this.
and happy belated anniversary to you guys!
does his mother know about his condition? does his brother with prostate cancer stage 4 know about your hub’s condition? if not, i would make sure they did and i would have the entire fam on his back about it. what is he going to do? yell at you, not talk to you? i think you can handle that if it means he gets treated and stays alive.
Irksome
My near empty firkin, quite thoroughly irksome, gone to free loaders jerksome, friends thirsty and lurksome, to paying they’re not perksome. Good riddance to quirksome, I’m home to sit in mirkdom, old Trek reruns Kirksome, bad guys gone smirksome, duels with monsters armed dirksome.
Ugh! I don’t think they’d care. The police say that they get sued by the ACLU every time they rout the homeless, although they just had a big raid on a homeless shanty town around here.
I can get you the name of a fine doctor in NYC. I have a friend whose father died of the disease. He had a very high PSA level and was treated in NYC. His twin sons also tested positive — one was treated in Florida; ane is doing NOTHING in San Francisco. His daughter just had a double mastectomy (breast cancer is related to prostate cancer). This DOES run in families.
I have another friend who was operated on about 15 years ago — doing fine. So is his twin brother — also doing fine. Their sister died of breast cancer and their father died of prostate cance about 25 years ago.
I agree with this advice. The more you have yelling at him, the better.
and TELL YOUR KIDS, have them calling him yelling and bawling about it. He has shown himself to be impervious to reason, you have to go full bore with emotion now, that is the only chance. Is he going to divorce you over it? just keep thinking what is the worst case scenario— i think that would be death from lack of treatment, right?
xshub said that the upstate medical center has an excellent reputation in re prostate cancer.
A+. I was waiting to see if someone would bring up Bowels.
Last night he said he was waiting for his next PSA results. I told him we already KNOW you have cancer....I do not harp constantly, but I do harp on him. Told him the first thing I will do after he dies his painful death is to take that trip to Hawaii he never took me on. I made sure I said it would not be a celebratory trip, I will sprinkle his ashes. RME
We do have a local cancer center at Lourdes Hospital, I would have chosen the surgeon there. I felt very confident in him and his steady manner.
when’s his next PSA test? ti, i know you have potential to be as much of a b!Tch as i can be, so why are you holding back? i am here to tell you, no one could withstand the onslaught i would unleash on them on a daily basis. He’d be RUNNING to get treatment just to shut me up. that is what is needed here.
