Doris's Story
Life
Well, I just happened upon this web site. I'm actually quite computer illiterate, so if this ends up posted in some strange chat room I can't be held responsible. As for a Bio-here goes. I didn't stray far from the old stomping grounds. I wound up in a little town north of Chesaning. I guess I will never be known as a world traveler. I can actually say that my life didn't turn out exactly as I had planned, but you know what they say "life is what happens to you while you are making other plans". As I see it that has been a good thing for me since I have been married for almost 24 years and yes actually to the same man and this is not a compilation of several nuptuals. So I keep riding this roller coaster ride that I bought a ticket for. At times exciting and others valleys. Can you relate! As for children, there are two kids running around that look a lot like me. (Poor thing's) One has flown the coop and the other has my foot on his behind ready to give the boot. There is a reason mama birds push their babies out of the nest as I have finally realized! As far as "what are you gonna do with your life" I am a surgical tech which means I get to see the inside as well as the outside of people. I like it on the front line being close to the blood and guts of it all. In my life in the O.R. I have had the privledge of holding beating hearts while a surgeon sews new life into them and also the bittersweet task of helping harvest organs from a donor so that they could give others a chance at a longer life. One of my least favorite arenas was neuro. You would have to stand for hours in one spot while assisting the doctor or one false move and you would suction up someones high school memories from their noggins. OOPS! SORRY! Just like years ago I couldn't stand still for that long. ...Expand for more
I was always up for a good TBC though (total body crunch). Can anyone say adrenalin rush! Well that was a few years ago and I have moved on to littler things like the eyes. Yes I went from sawing, drilling and hammering on people to sticking needles in your eye! I have been doing this job for about 15 years and have seen some mightly weird things in my days. Some too twisted to mention in front of children and others so heart wrenching they still bring a tear to my eyes. I guess somewhere along the line I must have done something right because I was recruited by a surgeon to be his personal scrub tech at his new surgery center. I'm affraid one of these days they are going to find out I don't know what I'm doing and the jig will be up. But until then hope you don't have to see me on a professional level.
I would have to say that I haven't changed much in the last 27 years. I still sing constantly and the docs have given up the thought of trying to stop me. I have been labeled "the singing tech" and some even join in on the melody! I guess sometimes you would say its like watching M.A.S.H. episode. You have to have a sense of humor to stay alive in this job or you could be depressed all day long. As for the physical, many changes have occured. Time marches on and it did right across my face, although I believe I have found the cure for wrinkles - just keep gaining weight - they fill in. I now look like a sausage but a young one at that! It has been interesting to see who all has been to this web site and I am not sure if I can find my way back, but I just may try if there is anyone out there who would not be too embarassed to be seen peeking at my bio.
MY motto "Never be ashamed of singing that's too joyful or laughter that is too loud"
Nice talking at ya!
