Hi Guys and Dolls:

It's hump day and I'm feeling a bit sassy. Have teased a few nurses and aides today and had fun doing my jewelry beading this a.m. I will have a friend bring my already completed pieces from home and I hope to sell them here!!!

It feels good to tell a nurse that she's wrong about going off the floor! I had one today that tried to prevent it but I told her to call and confirm. She had to eat crow!!!

Nothing new is happening. Healing is a long and tedious process and so are all the food supplements they want me to try. I guess protein is very important for speedy healing. They want me to keep taking the percocet even if I'm not in severe pain because they don't want it to GET severe. I don't want the drugs all the time because it constipates me!!

Yesterday, I had a visitor that I haven't seen in 38 years!!!!! I am on Classmates.com and she found me there and exchanged e-mails. So she just stopped in! Turns out that she lives relatively close to me!! All these years and she had to apologize to me because she thought she had done me wrong in school saving something to do with Kleenex??! She blamed herself and begged my forgiveness. I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER THE INCIDENT AT ALL!!! I told her to drop it and that I didn't even know what she was talking about. Can you imagine feeling guilty for 38 years over something the second party doesn't even remember. Poor girl!

Well, gotta run to the gift shop. They lost a really cute sign I bought there so I want to get another one. Talk to you all tomorrow ... maybe!!

Lois

I am glad to read that you are doing better today Lois. It is amazing how doing things with your hands and being creative can do for healing. So there you go. Protein and beads! :) You will be better in no time

I just spoke with Lois on the phone. She seemed to be in very high spirits, which was great considering what she's had to go through.

She said she may be out in 1-2 weeks.

Manny:

It was wonderful to hear from you. Good to know that I'm not just a little insignificant electronic byte that doesn't count!! Glad that you also caught me before I went to bed and discovered just how much pain I was in. Yesterday I had epidural injections in the low back because of the pain and weakness in the leg. The DR hit a real nerve with the third [and final] injection which sent wonderful pain down the butt and the leg! Wooooooo weeeeee!!!!!!

I am feelng emotionall better because of the calls I have received. They don't let me stay in a private pity party for very long. Gerri, Robyn, Renee, David Brown, Christina, Sohair (from Saudi Arabia of all places 2x), and heaven remembers who else! Keep 'em coming ... it breaks the boredom and cuts into the pain. Believe me, there's plenty of that. Thank God I don't have any feeling in the feet for that to hurt!!! I have enough pain elsewhere to last a lifetime.

Thanks again, TUDiabetes Skydiving team for the lovely flowers .... they only ones I received!! By the way, you're going to have to explain this "skydiving" thing!

Love and kisses.

Lois

Hey Lois,

Can't find your new phone number to call you. Yes, I'm headless & can't remember where I wrote it down. Have your previous room #. Please send.

David is going to have to explain the Skydiving Team. Afraid I didn't know what that meant either.

Hugs!

Gerri:

414-978-3633. For the time being. I probably will be transferring to a third facility for rehab.

Know you must miss your home & fishies. I'd be climbing the walls! How long in rehab & do you know when you're leaving? So sorry, honey. You've really been through it:(

You have never been and never will be an insignificant electronic byte, Lois. I am sorry that you had to undergo the epidural injections for the pain... sometimes it makes me wonder whether the cure or the disease is worst. :(

Sorry, but it's a secret society:) Unless you have the special decoder ring & know the handshake, we can't tell!
