ETSU Parents Day
out & about
It’s been explained to me a thousand times and I
still don’t understand it
Why is it that men embarking on a fun-filled,
pleasure-seeking, leisure-paced vacation feel obliged
to start at four in the morning?
1you, what good are breathtaking colors of the
Smoky Mountains... in the dark? How can I feel the
pulse and excitement of New York City where David
Hartman going to work and a passed-out wino are the
only things on the street? What good is a vacation if
you can’t keep awake through lunch?
We were the first family ever to ‘‘See America
First” by headlights. Every morning before hitting
the road the alarm would go off in the middle of the
nigh}. Picking my way tnrough the darkness, I’d
guide arms and legs through clothes. It was like
threading a needle with wet spaghetti. As the kids
continued to sleep, I’d walk them to the car and
arrange them in the back seat. I’d wait until the
motor was running and we were ready to leave before
I did my dastardly deed on those still sleeping ...
flush!
My children never awoke asking, “Where are we?
It was always, “What time is it?” They could never
play games other children played, like “Count the
Chevies” or “Out-of-State-Licence-Plate Rummy.”
There weren’t any other cars on the road.
We’d sit there like zombies, listening to the hog and uuea r.ispo «display m uk
grain markets on th car radio, trying to figure out if * Mam Hall of the student center

for a potty
my sweater over the hood or-
nament to keep from falling, a station wagon pulled in
with another family. They looked terrible. The kids
stumbled along With blankets dragging on the ground,
their hair uncombed, their eyes puffy and glazed. The
woman and I didn’t say anything at first. Our eyes
met in that rare moment of understanding without
words. Finally she said, “Would you have married
him if you had known he was nocturnal?"
A few weeks ago on vacation the alarm went off at
3:30 as my husband whipped out of bed and began to
dress.
“Why are you doing this?” I mumbled.
"I’ve told you before, the children travel better by
night when they can sleep. ”
“We don’t have children with us.”
“There’s no traffic on the road and I can make
better time.”
"We’re flying.”
“If we start early, we can stop early and be sure of
getting a hotel room.”
"We’re going home.”
“I’m basically sadistic.”
Now thatmakes sense!

What is a myoma?
DEAR DR LAMB - My
doctor says I have a myoma
and 1 have to have a hvsterec
tomy She said if I want more
children she would only take
out part of the uterus where
the myoma is located What is
the cause of these tumors’ Is
there any chance they'll
appear anywhere else in my
body’ Is there any other
treatment besides removal’
Do all wonteh have to take
hormones after a hysterecto-
my’
She's not doing the opera
lion for three more months
I ve had the tumor for two
months already I had spotting
which is why I went to her in
the first place Is it usual to
wait before doing the
surgerv’ If it is malignant,
which she says they rarely
are. wouldn't it give it a
chance to spread’ I would
appreciate any information
you have I'm 33 years old and
have had two children
DEAR READER - A myo-
ma is what most people call a
fibroid It’s an overgrowth in
a symmetrical, organized
fashion of the muscle and coo
nective tissue in the wall of
the uterus Such a tumor is
common and many times
when they're small they may
cause no symptoms In some
locations they will cause
bleeding and that’s probably
why you had the spotting
Depending on their location,
or if they get too Urge, they
can cause pressure on the

bowels
induce
and bladder and
____symptoms in that
manner Also some, depending
on the location, may interfere
with a woman's ability to get
pregnant
You never really know
what a tumor is until you've
looked at it under the micro-
scope but almost all of these
are benign — not cancer
That’s why your doctor isn't
excited about doing the sur-
gery' on a semi-emergency
basis
No, fibroids are limited to
the uterus and just because
you have fibroid tumors does
not mean that you’ll have
tumors or cancer anywhere
else
