Discussion or Announcement????
Hello fellow TUd friends! I have an announcement to make. I will be having surgery on my left foot to graft skin onto the recent wound. The big day is Friday, 9/4. Yup, THIS FRIDAY!!!!
Please try to remember me in the afternoon on Friday. I hope it takes. I've got til 9/8 to get out of the hospital before I go into my Medicare lifetime days that you never get back. I will also have a co-pay of something like $250 per day!!! I just don't have that kind of money.
Lots of love and thanks.
Lois

Hi Lois
I've been hearing your name on the board thanks to Robyn, so it's nice to see and hear you "in person". Best of luck for your surgery and a good speedy recovery!

THANK YOU ONE AND ALL!!!!!! I know I shouldn't feel scared, but I am ... a bit. And things are a bit in the air with the length of my stay because my Medicare covered days are coming to an end before I go into the lifetime days that never can be renewed! That means a co-pay for me to cover of about $250/day (not sure of the amount). That means the hospital will be anxious to get rid of me and may insist on an earlier discharge than what is good for me.
Pray for the finances too. On a fixed income means thatr I can't work overtime to cover additional expenses. Unless I start making some bucks with my jewelry making.
Again, whatever your higher power is, intercede for me ... please.

Yes, thank you Robyn for "introducing" me to Lois. It is nice to finally hear from you in person, as Zoe stated. God Bless you. I will be praying.
P.S. Do you think we are going to have an early Fall here in Wisconsin? Our leaves are starting to turn already, and have been for a couple of weeks. I am afraid of what this may mean for Winter.
