We have a patient who comes by our office once a month to pick up his medicines. He could get them at the pharmacy but he prefers to come to us. I think he just enjoys coming to see us. He cooks things for us and waxes philosophical in our little lobby. And in our corner of the city, the stigma of HIV does not exist. We make sure of it. The foggy windshield finds where it belongs in my consciousness if I work diligently at my vision. Posted by Misplaced Musings. Posted by Misplaced Musings. These are my ...

Always Moving Forward and so on. It seems ridiculous that I am writing on my phone. That is, using my phone. No longer a tele. Phone), and even using italics. And I do so need to get back to my writing. I am thinking about an anonymous blog where I can speak comfortably about work and life and death. I have to be so careful all the time. But I do not want to be careful. I want to be free. Posted by Misplaced Musings. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). More Trouble With The Obvious. Catching Up With Jose.

I have been writing poetry for many years, some of it better than others. Slowly, I began getting a pile of words together that I liked the most. Http:/ www.finishinglinepress.com/product info.php? Posted by Misplaced Musings. Tuesday night, solace and white wine. I did have to go and tell the whole blogosphere that I could shine anywhere, didn't I? I desperately want to know. I disappoint everyone around me. And too many uses of the word "I." It makes me nauseous. Posted by Misplaced Musings. Maybe it's...

A Few Words for Nurses Week. And then something will blindside me. I will guide a patient onto the scale and when I look down at the feet, I see 2 dirty, mismatched socks sticking out of some soccer slides. I see someone who doesn't have a washing machine. You jerk,. I think to myself. I am continually reminded of how much I have. How lucky. I have written of this before, I know. Posted by Misplaced Musings. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

One reason I work in medical: seeing someone pull back from the brink of death is priceless. Seeing a patient come in for a checkup gripping the pill box I gave her at the last visit, seeing the lettering worn off the little flip-doors because she has been using it and it's working and her viral load is way down and she is smiling. She feels better. And I feel better. We take for granted our ability to keep ourselves relatively stable and healthy. Some folks need a little extra help. Catching Up With Jose.

On mornings like this, when everyone else has left the house and it's just me here, it's so quiet. And I long to stay here, puttering in the upstairs hall while the sun dapples in on the pine floor. I want to heal some of the neglect that is all around this place. All the rushing around that is life makes me feel tired and I crave simplicity. I crave energy. Posted by Misplaced Musings.

I have become such a fearful person. Driving into Richmond, my heart was in my throat. Will I miss my turn? Hit a one-way street? And I sense that I need to keep thinking of ways to keep myself alive, before I become too crippled. Posted by Misplaced Musings. My head is cluttered with so many things I want to write about. I've lost so much already. How to make the time. Posted by Misplaced Musings. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). More Trouble With The Obvious. Catching Up With Jose.

There was a pretty good storm here on Thursday.a mini-derecho, if you will. Last summer's storm put this new word into the vocabularies of many central Virginians. Thursday's storm was a watered down version of that. I feel like that's a good metaphor for my life at present. Like I am missing most things, save for a few foggy glances through a distant glass. I do not mean this to sound whiny, but don't we all feel whiny at times? It can start to feel stagnant and depressing. Posted by Misplaced Musings.
