>At the moment I am the host/moderator of a programme called Not a Spectator Sport, based on the premise that we have only one chance to live and cannot afford to sit on the sidelines. We try to give people options to make informed decisions so they can get into the game so to speak...
a few weeks ago my guest was a suicide survivor...
her fiance committed suicide and she was left to pick up the pieces. Our purpose was to let other people know that life does go on and that their feelings are normal and to be expected; they will survive and life will continue... the feelings of anger, desolation, guilt, responsibility and on and on are all valid but no one is pointing fingers, in fact most people actually are not aware of what has happened... we have to pick up the pieces of our own lives, forgive and move on...
easy for me to say, I guess :(
the woman was incredible... we backlit the set so she had privacy and a degree of anonymity...
other guests have been battling addiction or living with addicts; grief counsellors discussing dealing with grief and moving on... we are a depressing bunch aren't we???
a man who works restoring Faberge eggs...
the Vanier Institute on the Family report on how Canadians are preparing for the future financially... and the answer is not well...
this week I have glory who is it? the show is tomorrow... and I have forgotten... next week I have a soldier back from Afghanistan and a soldier's wife, we will be talking about the attitudes they face and the lack of support from the public...
the week after that we are talking about railway safety... kids playing chicken with train engines and trying to hitch rides on passing trains...
and the last show of the season is about the sex bracelets in the elementary schools and floppy chickens, the games children play...My radio show, a two-hour show, as opposed to the one-hour tv show, is a different format, music and dialogue mixed, syndicated, and the theme varies from week to week according to my mood.. this week the theme is pacifists...
and scathing ...
I vent a lot of my moods and issues that way LOL don't need therapy ...as for the hypothermia thing...
I am wearing sweaters and a leather jacket and the rest of the people around me are out in short sleeves, even tank tops...
have lost another four pounds...
and last week has two massive seizures...
after six weeks seizure free...
life simply is not fair...I am protesting!!!!
Next fall I am kicking off the season with a show on health trends... the self-destructive baby boomers... and hope to have someone come and do a show on epilepsy and the community's or society's attitude toward epileptics...
and on the really fun side, saw the eye specialist last week, the one who sent me to the eye institute for the retina tests...
he said he would be referring me to a retinologist... when he said he would refer me to the eye institute, the waiting list was over a year, I was bumped up to under six months because I was the only person able to fit into the cancellation spot...
the retinologist appointment is for next week...
suddenly I begin to take this seriously...
with our overburdened medical system a quick appointment is no joke...another topic we have investigated on Spectator is our shortage of doctors and the long waiting lists...
