ORIGINAL: dcnovice I admit my brother's father-in-law is dying. I admit I'm wondering if I should trek to Ohio for the funeral. I admit my sister said no (via text), since I have "missed so much work" due to my medical life. I admit the point is valid, but there seemed to be a subtext of calling me a slacker. I admit that pisses me off. I admit I worked full-time through radiation and chemo and have returned half-time despite my lingering, painful E. coli infection. I admit colleagues and friends marvel at my slogging through work and cancer treatment at the same time. I admit my family, on the other hand, doesn't seem to get it. I admit that DC is probably a hero to many of us here for doing exactly what he is doing. I admit that if your family is giving you the "slacker" vibe, I would get copies of the images from all the probes etc, have em printed up as 8x10 glossies and send them to your sister, even better if there are pictures of the discharge from the infection. I admit that I am a vindictive bastard when it comes to blood relatives giving me crap about medical problems and my disability. Now on another, more humorous note: I admit that the equipment rental places around here do not rent hand held post hole augers with anything longer than a ten inch bit. They dont even have longer bits for their towed augers. I admit that the Bobcat rental place did have an auger attachment for a bobcat, and the whole thing would rent for $298 a day. I admit at the thought of using the old fashioned post hole diggers to dig the post holes, I opted for T Posts. I admit that I did not revise my fence post count on changing my plan. I admit that I am now 5 posts short of what I need to complete the job. I admit that after pounding t posts into the ground and through caliche, I have realized an awful truth. I admit the realized truth is that 40 years ago I could string 400 feet of fence in a day, I sure as hell cant do it now. I admit that I am looking for genetic engineers who can restore my body to what it was when I was in the army. I admit that I at this point I dont give a damn that Genetic modification of humans is against international law.
