I'm Not Doing A Posting.


"Sorry I haven't been posting much lately."  Whoa, I would never make such a statement.  I chuckle when I read such things.  Like I care.  If anything, I'd more likely say, "sorry about posting."  Yeah, I know how they mean it.

Thus, I'm not doing a posting.  I haven't got time to let you know how my first appointment at the hospital went this week.  I wont tell you about my adventures with the MRI scanner until another time.  I wont tell you that I now have an added appointment.  I now have an appointment slotted in for Wednesday for another ultrasound test.  However, not actually doing a posting, I wont mention that.  Perhaps they need to double check in regards to my possible pregnancy.  But I wont tell you that or my ongoing craving for pickles and ice cream.

This means in this posting I'm not doing, that my revised hospital schedule is this.  Tuesday, MRI scan, finished.  Wednesday, ultrasound.  Thursday, ah Thursday, Valentine's Day, the day they get to the bottom of things with a prostate biopsy.  And no, wont say something predicable like that it will all work out in the end. No, definitely wont mention that.  And no, wont mention after going for three straight days to the hospital, that Friday is a medical assessment by a private 'healthcare' company, hired by this wicked government to do their best to remove my disability benefits.  No, wont mention that.

What I will mention in this posting I'm not doing is that I'm profoundly grateful for your wishes, your prayers, your positive vibrations.  Thank you for reading this posting I'm not doing.

      And thank you for not commenting on the posting I didn't do. Move along. Nothing to see here...

  2. I'm sorry, did you post something?
    You are in my prayers this week, Gary.
    And I don't know why people start with that line anyway. I do care, but hey, just jump right back in!

    1. Alex? I was going to post something, but I decided against it.

      Yes, we care when somebody apologises for not posting for a while. I think it's slightly assuming that I missed them. Okay, cynical moment over. Thank you for not commenting on the posting I didn't do.

  3. I am so glad your not posting about any of this. It would just depress me, thinking of you going through all that.

    Nonetheless, we will keep hoping for good news after Friday, when you do post again.

    Your Friends

    1. Hello Bert and Vickie?

      I thought it would be a great idea not to do a posting and this means I wont bore you with the details because I haven't done a posting.

      Thanks for the good news wishes and hopefully by Friday evening, I shall actually do a posting :)

      Thank you for not commenting. Although I'm not going to mention that typing a comment about a posting that isn't here, is easier than trying to do a message on 'Farcebook' :) I am delighted not doing a post:)

  9. It's pointless to post when you're at your lowest point and no one really cares. I'm the eleventh reader who doesn't want to hear about the situation you refuse to mention. I just hope it doesn't involve doctors, hospitals or biopsies.

    Hey. You get what you give. This is my non-comment.

    Love,
    the non-commenter

    1. Hello lotta joy?

      Quite right. How pointless posting a posting when a posting would be rather difficult to post when I'm actually not here to post a posting. I certainly wont mention doctors, hospitals or biopsies. No, wont do that.

      I enjoyed getting a non-comment from you in regards to a posting I didn't do :)

      I just love non-commenters :)

  13. Hello Gary:
    Such a relief on opening this post to find that it isn't a post. This lets us off the hook and so we are spared from writing a comment which congratulates you on 'lovely pics' and thanks you for 'sharing'!!

      I'm relieved you didn't notice a post here. And I'm glad you didn't leave a comment that might mention about relaxing and breathing, think of hot chocolate and think of Saturday.

      I hope to actually do a posting by the weekend. Thank you, Hilary :)

    1. Hi Julie,

      It's been a gruelling week, but I wont mention that until I actually do a posting. The results of the tests are to be revealed on February 25. I probably will make note of that when I do a posting around that time. Your thoughts, prayers and thoughtful wishes are warmly appreciated. Thank you :)

  21. The rather saucy Sir Tom Eagerly says:
    I think it's a good thing that you decided not to post.
    Because I had already decided not to comment.
    I see no-one else has commented either.
    I don't know how you carry on with such a lack of support ;-)

      It's a very good thing I decided not to post. And an even better thing you decided not to comment.
      I also noticed nobody else commented on a posting I didn't do.
      The lack of support makes me understand I will never be one of those popular bloggers who can like put up a picture of a glass of milk and get a zillion comments :)

  22. I enjoying reading the post you didn't post about your not posting. Hmm, now I'm confused. Or was I already confused? When did I first become confused? Which begs the next question, Have I always been confused?

    Don't matter. Yup, I'm actually holding you up. You can't tell, 'cause I'm invisible. But I'm there, holding you up. And I must say you ain't heavy.

      I thank you for holding me up. Raising me above the cheering crowds so they can see me better in the parade in my honour :) Thank you, Joylene. It means a lot :)

  24. Honesty, I read nothing, saw nothing and didn't hear a thing. What post are you talking about? When are you going to post again?
    I'm just babbling on in my own secret world but I'm hoping all goes well for you. I'm up for surgery next week so just crossing all the Ts and dotting all the I's just in case.

    1. Hello Rum-Punch Drunk?

      Thank goodness your read nothing, saw nothing or even heard a thing. I'm talking about my previous post that I also didn't post that talks about the previous post that I didn't post. With the success of my non-posting, I might just do another non-posting. If popular bloggers can get away with it, I might as well try :) I might actually type something in a few days time.

      Verbalising is good, my friend. Wishing you the best possible result for your surgery. Thank you for you well wishes and may we both see better times :)
