COMSUBBBS Posts: 2540 Location: Wappingers Falls, NY | Subject: will miss y'all... but just for a bit...the CO and I are headed to Louisville for WWII Convention and our Bergall Reunion on Sat., but after that, I have to have a bit of surgery. I have a torn meniscus in my left knee. Surgery scheduled for Sept. 9th...and because of two trips to ER in the last two days, have also been given a temporary diagnosis of either a torn tendon or rotator cuff in my right shoulder...so how am I posting here...very slowly and very carefully...that's the reason for the "happy pills". I originally thought I was having a heart attack or stroke...and was taken to ER today by ambulance as the pain was so excruciating, I literally thought that a knife was being stuck in my chest...but was NOT admonished by anyone for what turned out to be the lesser of two evils. Paramedics, Dr's. and nurses all said I did the right thing...because the heart attack for a woman can be the "silent killer", as they say. I had all the classic symptoms, but not where they usually appear...but the Paramedics weren't going to take any chances...and even though I didn't manifest them as usual, they were treating me as though I was experiencing one, until they got me to the hospital and I was under a Dr's. care. Right now, everything is one great big blur, but I am happy to say, I have a very strong heart, there doesn't appear to be any blockages, but I have one rotten shoulder that will probably require surgery after I have the knee surgery. I guess you could say I'm falling apart in bits and pieces, but I am not going to let it get me down...I am going to beg and plead the orthopedist to put me into therapy for the knee...and then when the surgery is done on the shoulder...the same thing. I have too much to do, to let this sideline me...and now is as good a time as any to get this over...and make a fresh start. So, I'm going to go to Louisville...have too much fun...and make a lot of memories...to keep close as I am recuperating. I will miss not going to Ft. Worth...and hope that a few of you will remember "Ole Miss Lumpy Bumps" and raise a glass, for I will raise a glass to all of you. See ya in the funny papers, as they used to say. Cora, I will get your photo posted later when I finally wake up...AGAIN.  | ||

COMSUBBBS Posts: 2540 Location: Wappingers Falls, NY | Subject: RE: will miss y'all... hey there, thank you everyone for your good thoughts and prayers...you have brought a tear to the old girl's eye...gee, look who has arisen from the dead, so to speak...ME! i am going to take this one step at a time...just like trying to write this email...having the "Hand of God" on your shoulder, as they say, can do wonders for the attitude...and even though I was "spared" the worst...and given an extended lease on this life, I am not going to tempt fate...or the "powers that be"...I am going to get these old rickety joints fixed and hopefully they will work a bit better when all is said and done...I can come out of it kicking and screaming a bit more, too. hehehe...yes, Don...we do have an idea, but we won't fault them for it...because as "focused" as I am trying to be...which I tried to tell another friend, I will take the joys of life and enjoy them as they come along...we all need to have some silliness to offset the crap that we get handed every day...and being here with all of you, is one of the joys I cherish every day...yeah, this crusty old broad (COB)...someone pointed that out to me...will definitely try to get the CO, up from the "permanent place of plop", as my grandson likes to call it...and have him post here when he can. He has taken the rest of his vacation time off to take care of me...and I couldn't have asked for anything more...because he is dealing with a few health issues, that I hope, will be cleared up very shortly, too. I have to go for a few...gotta go take care of Cora's photo...and should be back in a flash...the brain needs a bit of coffee to function...and despite being "lame" and a bit goofy at the moment...I still have to take care of some items for our vacation. Well, Saints be praised...just had a call from the hospital...followup call...to see if I was still kicking! The young lady on the other end was quite cheerful and "attuned" to my case...well, that's a first...for me anyway. OK, I have to give my brain and my mouth a rest...sheesh, the fear of God can make you quite talkative, can't it. Love ya all. | ||
