A good read
"Every art and every scientific inquiry, and similarly every action and purpose, may be said to aim at some good. Hence the good has been well defined as that at which all things aim. But it is clear that there is a difference in the ends; for the ends are sometimes activities, and sometimes results beyond the mere activities.
It would be difficult to say what is meant by the "absolute good" in anything. Nor again will good be more good if it is eternal, since a white thing which lasts for a long time is no whiter than that which lasts for a single day. It is mans own responsibility to decide that which is good and noble in the course of his life. Conversations can go on and on regarding the true meaning and nature of goodness."
THE NICOMACHEAN ETHICS
-Aristotle
Pretty much what I am thinking Aristotle says in this excerpt of this chapter, is this- However you go about your life, as long as it closely follows the ethically defined good and virtuous, then your pretty much good to go.
The whole book is facinating, if any of you are interested in philosophy and the like. Though I would suggest reading Plato's conversations before taking this one on, because a lot of what Aristotle talks about references Plato, being that he was Aristotles mentor. Socrates ideas are also interesting.
Got results and information today. I have severe displaysia, as I have probably stated before, stage 3. My cervix is not completely healed from the LEEP procedure I had done last month, so they couldn't do much of anything aside from the colposcopy- which was pretty much cutting off the abnormal cells on the outside of my cervix.(again) They still arent sure if the cancer is inside my cervix as well, and as stated above, couldn't do much of anything about that. I wonder though. The admitting nurse told me that I was going to have cryotherapy or a cold knife cone procedure done today, but as soon as I gave her my insurance card and 20 minutes later, I was told I was only in here for a follow up exam from the LEEP. Insurance battles perhaps? Not caring too much about that, because last time I was there and was told my insurance wouldn't cover it I signed all these papers to have that paid for. Maybe nothing like that was available this time, dunno.
So I guess to see if the results from biopsy are the same or changed. Then I go and have a pap smear. Doctor was saying that they need 3 "normal" test results in the future. I personally doubt very much that the next one I have done is going to come back normal. But if it looks the same as it has been, then I will get the option of cold knife or cryotherapy. Hopefully that gets it all. If not, then I guess talk of surgery will go on. I like how historectomy is LAST resort, unlike when I was in Kentucky and that asshole doctor said well you have cancer and thats the option or radiation. All the doctors that I have told that to here all get the same horrified look on thier faces heh. But, all I have is time to wait and see I guess. and I hope HOPE that all this waiting and fighting with insurance doesnt let this progress into something worse.
Ah the pain. Im pretty sick and tired of getting things cut out of me. It hurts a little more this time. Got a prescription for some pain medication but I cant afford even the generic. heh. oh well.
chin is up, and I have my own hand to hold.
Thanks for the support guys.
