Chaos Theory

[gja1000]

This post isn't really about chaos theory, per se, but about the chaos around me right now. I've talked to my cousin about this and there does seem to be lots of chaos going on around the world, or maybe I'm just more aware of things right now, I don't know.

Here's a list of things that have happened around me in the past month - it's almost more than I can stand.

1. co-worker developed melanoma of the eye last year - went to the Mayo clinic, got treatment. Then she developed breast cancer. Got treatment. Last month melanoma returned............

2. co-worker thought she had inflammatory breast cancer, the most aggressive and deadly type of breast cancer - the inflammation has responded to antibiotics, so it probably is not - she's not 100% out of the woods yet though......

3. co-worker had surgery this week for an abdominal mass - ovarian cancer, stage one - she'll probably be fine after rigorous chemotherapy, but still......

4. co-worker had a horrible head on car crash this weekend. The other driver died. Thankfully, my friend will survive, but she has massive fractures of pelvis, leg, and ankle. Many weeks/months in the hospital and rehab.....

I know, I know - none of you want to work with me, do you!

5. My 52 year old cousin just called and had to go to the ER today with, what has been diagnosed as, an ovarian cyst - however, it sounds eerily like the symptoms of #3.......

6. And not to mention my husband being in the hospital this week!!!!!

I just feel like there is too much chaos all around me. The ecomony, the elections, the hurricane in Texas, I want to crawl in the bed, cover my head, and sleep till I wake up to find this is all just a very bad dream!!!
