windcatcher 0 #1 January 26, 2006 I know I am a self-centered person, and I hate that, but I try and focus on others. Today why don't you listen to someone ( actively listen, don't just wait to get the next word in), help someone out, or call someone and tell them how much they mean to you or how much you love them. How good would you feel if someone did that for you? ( I'm speaking to myself too here) Carry on Mother to the cutest little thing in the world...

ACMESkydiver 0 #6 January 26, 2006 I'll help you, Windcatcher! Focus on ME! Actually, I'm helping my lil' Sprouty girl today. If you send me a PM, I'll give it to her. She's had a tough couple o' days...knocked her 2 front permanent teeth loose kissing the pavement in school yesterday, smashed her nose and lip, and face is so distorted she doesn't look like my lil' sweet pea any more. Poor kid was in the Urgent care yesterday, and has to see the dentist to make sure she didn't bust up her gums and nerves... She is a tough one though! And today, it's all about her. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cocheese 0 #13 January 26, 2006 ...and I was just going to start focusing on myself for a change. Kind of had it with everyone ya know ?I'm in that "Most people can go fuck themselves for all i care" mood. Ever get like that Sarah ? Happens to the best of us.But in the spirit of your thread i must say: You have never let me down or been less than a wonderful person to me. The few, the proud, the sweet one. The Sarah.

windcatcher 0 #14 January 26, 2006 Nah, I never consciously try and focus on myself...I am just all too good at doing it unconsciously. I really just wish I could stop being so self-centered, I mean, I'm not as bad as I used to be, but there is always room for improvement. I think every human probably focus on themselves too much Mother to the cutest little thing in the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, but I make a point of doing that stuff every day and yes, it feels great to get it back. I'll add one thing to your list, though. If you love someone, don't hold back. Do it without a safety net. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, there's probably a good reason for it. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't feel comfortable doing that, there's probably a good reason for it. Walt While I agree that this is a good point, I feel it may need a little further explanation...you see, sometimes when a person has been hurt deeply, they tend to "keep up the safety net" as a self-protection type thing. It has nothing to do with the person they are involved with currently, but rather someone they may have been involved with previously. (Speaking only from personal experience) However, (also speaking from personal experience), with time, if the person you love is truly worthy, those safety nets will take care of themselves and disappear.

Lindsey 0 #17 January 26, 2006 Since midnight I got a young girl the rest of the way through DKA, out of ICU, and into a private room on her home medication made multiple trips to CCU where my patient in heart failure, liver failure, kidney failure, and with pancreatitis and pneumonia has been trying to succumb, but hasn't yet and seems to be doing better finally (ummm...he came in this way. I didn't do it to him). Talked to that guy's family throughout the night. Stopped one guy's pain with drugs . I'm his favorite doctor now. Spent the wee hours of the morning with a Guillain-Barre patient and his family discussing treatment options, and only relieving his pain minimally so as not to further compromise his respiratory status. Helped another man poop. I might be his favorite doctor now too.... Took care of a couple more of my patients, but didn't really do much for them. Took care of a little boy with a sprained ankle in the ER and of a young woman who was afraid she was having a heart attack. Now I'm post-call, and for the next 45 minutes it's all about ME!!!!! Then I'll go pick my little boy up from school....and it'll be all about him until bedtime. linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.
