i'm teaching a three-week summer class at the university, starting this monday. today one of the students didn't show up on the class in the morning. i thought he was simply a little bit late. then one of the other students also arrived late and told us this missing student had just been run over by a tram, right outside the university. she said she saw the accident while on her way to the class.
now i read the news in the web and they say this young man got severe head injuries (including a fractured skull) and is in critical condition in the hospital.

this really made me feel a bit shocked today. i only met this man once, on our first session on monday, so i didn't get to know him at all. but last i saw him he was this lively and smiling person, moving about and talking to us and being interested to learn new things in our summer class.
it's just shocking how things can just change just like that. :(

That's awful, japanesebaby. Such a terrible thing to happen! I do hope this poor young man recovers.
I had some sad news last week, too.
I dear old friend of mine, from the village I used to live in England, was killed on the railway line as she tried to cross to the other platform.
She was very elderly, and rather deaf, so she probably didn't hear the train approaching the station, and wasn't quick enough to cross the line. Poor lady.
It was all rather a shock to hear, as I knew her so well, and she was always so kind to me and my daughter when we lived there. 
Hopefully now the local council will do something to improve the conditions at the railway station. It's very dangerous.

This is so sad :(  I'm sorry to hear that japanesebaby. I hope the young man will recover very soon.


I'm sorry feebee42, these are sad news  :(. To lose a dear old friend is always sad. My deepest sympathies.

Thanks, silversand.

Now, today I feel sad, as I have just got home from having some tests at the hospital, and now I must go on the waiting list for some major surgery... blah.  :(

[silversand]

You're welcome feebee42 
I'm sorry to hear that.  I can only imagine how it is to be on the waiting list for a surgery.
Hope it isn't something serious. All the best to you!!
And please don't be sad feebee42

I found that my mom is losing her job at the hospital here in town on September 1st, and that she is required to train in her replacement or she won't receive her 2 year settlement from workmen's comp.

I had my girly appointment two weeks ago, and I was told that my test came back abnormal and that they need to test me for the HPV virus and cancer.  I lead a pretty straight laced life, so it came as a big shock to me...and I only just turned 24 a week ago.

My son may also have to have a 4th surgery at the end of October, but I won't know for sure until that day; and that is only about 2 1/2-3 weeks before his 4th birthday.

[silversand]

I'm sorry Meddy, these are not good news :(  I can understand that you're shocked about the test result.
Hope the test will be negativ. You're son is still very young and passed through many things. Hope that the 4th surgery isn't necessary at the end of October. Keep my fingers crossed

I'm sorry that your mother will lose her job on September 1st. Hope she will find a new one very soon.

All the best to you, your son and your mother  Meddy

Ya know, I am beginning to really hate this damn month...today...I found out that my boyfriend tried to make it home after a party he had went to; he got pulled over, arrested for a DWI (driving while intoxicated) and now he is sitting in jail.  When crap starts to really go down hill like this, sometimes it's hard not to feel a little bit of self pity.  That only makes me get angrier though.  Jumpin' Jeepers I just don't get it.  It makes me wonder if I murdered babies in a past life or something...

[scatcat]

oh what a bugger of a month Meddy .. it sems our stars are aligned. 

i am sure things will be fine, as the proportion of results are often  'fixable'.. do not despair sweet one.. 

a prayer for you.. sending an angel your way.. with hugs and kisses xoxoxoxoxo

[silversand]

Oh, i'm sorry that you have  not a good month Meddy :(
Hope things will get better very soon!!!

I'm sending you a big  Meddy.

[Cure Freak]

Meddy~ so sorry you had a bad month.
*hugs for you*

[sues777]

oh Meddy, you poor thing..I feel for you.  Sometimes I think "the universe" just likes to throw crap at us to see how much we can handle?  Hang in there.  This too shall pass....

Unfortunately, I feel sad today 'cos, well, I just feel really, really alone....

[silversand]

oh, dear poor sues777 please don't feel sad :(
I can understand you, sometimes i feel also alone and lonesome.
Hope you will feel better soon dear sues777
A big  for you
