Jumping to conclusions - how dare they!

Hi Ladies -  one thing I really hate is the town where we have to stay, while I have radiotherapy - talk about a town full of anal retentives! I will tell you the name of the town so you don't waste your money visiting the place! Ballarat!  I can't imagine they are too worried about their tourism their, their too busy being pigs to everyone!  

Yesterday I got into trouble at radiotherapy for (get this!) being late!  I was first cab off the rank in the morning, and as they condesendingly patronised me for 'sleeping in' (which I bloody didn't!) I finally got a word in and said "If you unlocked the doors and let me in I wouldn't be standing out in the cold at 7.30 in the morning standing outside 'your LOCKED' entrance! Thank you very much!"  "Oh, Oh, really?" they replied quite astonished (yeh, suck on that I thought to myself! teach you to 'jump to conclusions' - Sleep in my fat a**!) I was really, really annoyed - I had done the right thing - what a way to start the day! Its not my fault I was locked out and hanging around the electronic doors like a drunk at a wedding - freezing my one and a half tits off!

My hubby and I seem to always be doing the wrong thing, don't go here, don't do that, don't park there bla bla bla! what a miserable town - every where the cars are flying past, rules, rules and more rules! I was so darn glad to get home today!  At least we can do what we want, and this tiny (home) town everyone is so relaxed and easy going.  After we arrived home and settled in, we headed up to our local for a counter lunch (YUM!) it was like we hadn't been away.

So ladies - I have three more weeks to go - (oh, talk about pulling teeth!)  I just want to be home!  and to make sure we don't get caught out like last week (when we had travelled over 4/5ths of the way to find out the machine was broken) I am going to RING FIRST!  x x x Josie

  • Thank you Samantha, Loretta, Tonya and Leonie, yes it sometimes defies description doesn't it - I guess I am starting to get to the point where I won't react so 'nicely' and may end up spitting a bit of serious venom (yay!) Your are right about me putting in a complaint (I jolly well will and all!) -  we are going through enough crap at the moment - One poor lady who has just commenced radiotherapy and is staying at the same accomodation as us, has to travel a further 70 k's over and above what we travel - she has no one with her and her partner wasn't allowed time off to be with her - if he takes time out they will dock his pay - you just bloody wonder what the world is coming to don't you!  There are some serious shit-heads out there that need a major kick up the Khyber Pass because they just don't 'get it'.   Well my dears, keep writing and yes I haven't forgotten the Bald and the Beautiful! (it is seriously looking like a ripper of a read! - lol!)  x x x Josie

  • Poor Josie, this town has not been kind to you. How rude of them to tell you off, you should repay them the next time they make you wait! Enjoy your time at home & keep marking off those days.

  • Just doesn't right to treat a person who's going through tough treatment for cancer like that.Well I will strike Ballerat off my places to see list! I hope you are keeping some sort of radiation diary so you can put in a big complaint at the end of your treatment.So far: broken machine and not telling you in time and now making you freeze your 1 1/2 tits off. What next??3 weeks will go quickly,especially if you don't count weekends. Could there be another book ? The Ballerat saga.Hope it's just a short chapter for the Bald and the Beautiful!!

  • Love the manure trick!!!!  I love to laugh and yours has added to my day.  I have had quite a few laughs today.  It is such a good feeling.  So when you are next getting told off, just daydream about how you are going to transcribe it to us.  You can have a great laugh whilst "getting in the poo".  Have a wonderful weekend.  We are off fishing and relaxing 3.5 hours away at the Frazer coast.

  • Thank you Sam - I told my cousin on the phone tonight that I wish I was a crop dusting pilot - I would fill the plane with manure and spread it all over that town! (lol!) x x x 

  • well haven't u had the treatment from hell!  Hopefully once u get this last dose done u will be able to stay away from ballarat...

    As annoying as it is at least you can have a giggle to urself at times and be able to tell them to "suck on that" , even if it is to urself!  LOL

    Good luck with your future treatment

    Sam :)  xxx
