Wacky Patient Full Moon Alert.

Patients, People February 29th, 2008

I’ve just re-added the moon tracker module to the sidebar on the right (it was on the original version of the blog). My front desk staff puts all full moons for the year into the appointment book because of the wackiness that happens around those times. The last full moon and lunar eclipse was an especially crazy time. Don’t know if it’s because of me, or the patients, or a combination of both.

This last week started out on an abjectly depressing note for me. Some major (almost catastrophic) family issues caused me to really withdraw into myself. Things have slowly been resolving and through the support of my wife, my brother and his wife I’m almost back to myself again. Thankfully my patients didn’t suffer too much.

I now know who does and should matter most to me in this short life that we live.

I’ve always maintained that blogging is a therapeutic exercise for me. Although through my comments this week you’ve probably had no inclination of what I was going through, my blog and its readers have been an anchor of sanity for me.

Thank you all.

    Glad we could help… in a non-helping sort of way. ;-)

    Just a thought: I find in any conflict, peace offering is always the best solution. Agree to disagree, that sorta thing.

    In a logical, civilized situation, that does work. Unfortunately too many members of my immediate and extended family don’t allow logic and rational thought to rule their lives too much.

    I’m glad to see you’re still hanging in there. Things have been rather insane over here as well, but hopefully things will straighten out nicely for all of us soon.

    isn’t it funny how one’s family can cause one so much happiness and at the same time, so much grief! i had no idea anything was wrong. neither your blog nor Facebook showed any signs of suffering lol! but i’m glad to hear that things are on the up again! you are very lucky you have your wife who’s an amazing person and surely your rock and she’s lucky to have you too! together you guys have overcome so many obsticles and will continue to do so no doubt!

    well, full moon phase is over for now. by the way, i never knew you were affected by the moon. i have to say i’m lucky it doesn’t do anything for me. it’s PMS in my case lol!

    so, until next full moon my friend!

    I don’t think I’m too affected by the moon, it’s everyone else around me (I’m not crazy everyone else is).

    January/February are bad months for lots of people also because of the weather and short hours of sunlight. When you combine that with other factors, you get a recipe for trouble.
