Ok so we all know it – there are times in life when you have a funny, or a mean, or a snide, or a sad remark that you shouldn’t say aloud. The remark stays intact politely unshared. It is the inner voice that you may or may not choose to share later with your friends – maybe not. Cancer doesn’t care so I may not. Watch out!
The poor lab tech at the hospital almost got a thought shared with her. I came down the elevator fresh from the biopsy result meeting to get my blood drawn. The receptionist sees my red tear stained face and gently brings me in to expedite my registration and allow me privacy away from the general (healthy -inner voice word) waiting area. The tech comes along fresh from her break. I get brought to her. She whips around to do the standard ole’ draw and takes one look at me and says “you ok?”
See some of you already know my humor. .. Yes my inner voice of “yeah all ok except my new breast cancer” – this stayed in my head and she was spared.
This part is going to be interesting. Looking forward to hearing more of your inner voice, although you are so good about keeping your inner voice quiet. Just remember in some cases, the rules say you can whisper them to Bill (or suitable substitute) and he can say them out loud! I've checked the rule book!
ReplyDeleteThe problem is - when her inner voice and one of my inner voices talking to each other but not through us - hoo boy - strange things happen. I am convinced that's how Gene came up with the idea for Spok's goatee.
