My sister is irritated at me for always having a positive outlok about my mom's condition even though we don't know what is wrong with her yet. Only had a ct scan on Thursday and my sister thinks since we have to wait until Monday for the results it's a bad thing. I encourage her by saying since she isn't in the hospital its a good sign. She differs in opinion and thinks it is a bad sign. She says I don't care about her feelings. Well, I don't because worrying is unhealthy and quite honestly it is a sin (didnt tell her that last one). God has control of this. His will be done and what happens to mom happens. This all could be nothing and it could all be something. We won't know until we know. It is a very hard job for me to try and keep my dad and sister to keep a positive outlook on this. No matter what the verdict is we must all keep positive.

That wait is not abnormal at all. Any quicker would be abnormal, these days. You have a great attitude about it and I hope it all turns out well.

That's what I told her and she jumped in my you know what for it. I apologized to her if I hurt her feelings with my positive outlook. I know, sounds stupid. But that's my sister. Hard to believe we are related sometimes.

A funny moment yesterday happened when we were out shopping....

I was trying to get around in traffic and I had some dufas in a duramax that wasn't letting me over....I'd speed up to get by him and he'd speed up.....I'd slow down then he'd slow down....what an ****....

So I saw my chance and gave it 3/4 throttle......holy crap what a neck snapping moment....thank goodness I had turned the OD off.....my wife was speechless....

She thought the truck was on fire.........the rear tires had broken loose and were spinning and smoking

To sum it up.....I got over in front of the duratrash and he backed way off...the wife on the other hand doesn't want to try and drive this truck anymore....
