Good Day, Sunshine!

This morning at the oncologist, Mom and I knew something good was afoot as Dr. D came into the examination room with a HUGE smile on his face and quietly hummed "Don’t Worry, Be Happy!" under his breath during the initial check up. This coming from a man who, while naturally upbeat and positive, is not one to bubble over with effervescence. He maintains his professionalism at all times. When you're doling out life and death diagnosis, a poker face is always best.

"Diane, you’re responding much better and more quickly than expected to the chemotherapy. Your last scan shows no signs of the caner in the lymph nodes. It’s too soon to know for sure, but you’re giving this cancer a royal beating. We need to stay the course of treatment and finish out the next five weeks. After that, I want to keep a watchful eye on things and if there’s any recurrence at all we’ll have to consider radiation and chemotherapy. But as the Magic Eight Ball says, 'Outlook is good!'"

Instead of breaking into tears, Mom and I couldn't stop laughing.

Epilogue: Mom fired off e-mail to my Dad letting him know the good news. Dad's response:

"I knew before you did, Di. Do you think for one moment I'd be able to sit and wait for news about the love of my life? So long as I agree to let him make the diagnosis and deliver the news, Dr. D's been e-mailing your cat scans, x-rays and lab results since day one. Keep up the good work! Bald is beautiful on you, babe. Talk to you same bat time, same bat channel."

Mom is seeing her first client since she started chemo. She's a little nervous, but Rodge is an old friend and has been seeing my Mom for years. She makes no guarantees that she'll be able to see anything, but she wants to try. Having psychic ability is no different than any other natural born talent, the more you use it the ability the better you get. Practice and application keep your senses sharp. And if you feel like crap and you're energy is low, you're not going to perform at peak level.

The key for a psychic is learning how to keep your intuition and your imagination separate. Having a vision isn't any different than the daydreams we all experience in when we’re driving down the road and sort of "check out" for a while. Two miles later you can't remember how you got there or the passing scenery, but you know you've been driving the whole time. It's like your conscious and unconscious mind are co-pilots. When you zone out the mind goes on autopilot keeping you on course, the unconscious and conscious mind step away for a smoke, a cup of coffee and a water cooler discussion about all the random stuff floating around in your head. A good psychic can switch to autopilot at will and can remain aware enough while in this state to pick out the things that seem real and likely to happen versus random bits of imaginary flotsam and jetsam. Does that make sense?
