My mother became ill in August 2008 with ovarian cancer. This is a story of the final months of an exceptional woman.

Make the pie higher?

Today I had a CT guided biopsy of a mass in my liver. The hope is that this will provide keen insights into my tumor type so a silver bullet treatment can be delivered.

I feel both tired and a tad confused more often than not of late. Jeff assures me it is not Alzheimer's (that would be just nifty given my other afflictions) but it seems about the same to me.

Anyway, bullets or lasers or magic muffins....I wish something would either hit or drop on me in terms of treatment. Maybe the Oracles will speak by the 2nd or 3rd of September? I may slip into the Screaming Void before anything gets done if it is much longer than that. Plus, my Beloved, PaulEdmund may stroke out from frustration.

We are creating our own version of the great wait for Godot here besides the steamy lake.

I am pleased nonetheless with the excellent quality and speed of response my new treating doctors are providing. Dr. Robert Muldoon and Dr. John Webb are just the best. I am in good hands.

A compilation of wise words uttered by our Prez, Dubya now bubbles up in my noggin'. The mental fog I am in is, paradoxically, allowing me to see the sense in the fellow.

Make the Pie Higher
I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
And potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked.
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the Internet
Become more few?

How many hands have I shaked?
They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.

I know that the human being
And the fish can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope,
Where our wings take dream.

Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher!
Make the pie higher
!
Pies, higher or fallen or flapping in the breeze, are my life these days.

Sometimes Dubya sounds like something other than the Delphic Oracle on smack.

We have excellent insider sources verifying this!!!

Trust us....

RNC (aka Laura)

First off...sorry you have the whole cancer thing. I know. I just licked a lymphoma. And only 32!

Test the powers of your addled brain to penetrate gibberish. Listen to the vice-presidential debate. Ms. Palin will even cause your upended mind to do multiple cartwheels! Dubya is nothing in comparison.

I thank the RNC (Laura?) for providing such entertainment. I suspect they felt that the instant this babe came out in her purple heels and slinky black power suit every straight male in earshot would be instantly lost in Dominatrix Fantasies. They have no chance of noticing her incoherence. Women, by definition, are illogical. Except for Hillary.

Fortunately I swing both ways so I could thoroughly enjoy the fact Sarah spouted one dogmatic talking point after another irrespective of the question asked. I could simultaneously fantasize about her doing a slow strip on the podium, stalking and whipping me.

Surrealism really starts with this fabulous bitch...

Work it girl is all I can say to Ms. Palin. She will, no doubt, become the next Mad Queen quiding our Ship of State straight to Hell.

Agree?

About Me

My photo
Vacherie, Louisiana, United States
Born in rural Arkansas my tongue took up residence in my cheek shortly thereafter. I use it to speak "Genteel Southern Lady". Cussin' I only use when provoked by the Uppity. Paul, my husband, and I have lived in Cajun Country for many years raising cane, twins (a boy and a girl; now adults? definitely old) and other mischief. Alligators, water moccassins and bears have tussled with me as I protect our swampy coastal farmstead. We are stuck now on lovely Lake Hamilton near Hot Springs where we have our second home. We have been here waiting for Godot since my heart valves blew out Late November 2007 and now with cancer diagnosed August 2008. The Furies have me in their sights... I am writing this blog to let my Beloveds know how I am doing so they will not "get off" in imagined ways on my dire straits. The reality is bad enough without turning my story into a B-grade movie of the mind. I know all of you wish me the very best. And I miss you! never no mind your fevered imaginations. This is as close as I can get to a fond and loving chat with you right now... Sadly, Judy aka Mizflounce passed away peacefully early on Sunday morning May 30th 2009 age 78.
