Hi Tanyaann, good luck on your meeting, I'm sure all your nervousness has been for nothing. He will adore you!

Merle Have a wonderful day!

Had a few minutes between clients and thought I would pop in and say hello.

Debbie, you're in my prayers.

Susan I am so very sorry to hear this. You are in my prayers and if there is anything you need, just say the word.

Not a trace that I even ate wings, unless...opps..missed that spot...

Prayers have certainly made a difference with my niece. She is resting now after almost 9 hours in surgery today. Internal damage was more extensive once she was opened up but the doctors feel her prognosis is better, she's going to be in ICU for some time to come but they pushed the family out tonight to go home to rest..guessing they might be tired of looking at haggard faces. I cannot say enough for the care and nurturing she's getting and now she is in God's hands. Jackie has always been a fighter and I hope her will to fight, to live for her children will carry her through. She remains on a respirator but has been able in the past two days to respond to us by writing on a notebook. She is frustrated when she has to be restrained but we've explained it's in her best interest so that nothing is pulled out while she sleeps.

My heart is full from the prayers and well wishes and I share them with the rest of my family. We are all so very grateful because prayer is what Jackie needs now to get through the long road ahead.

I've been wanting wings for a couple of days now, could you scoot the plate over this way, please?

Strawberries on top, perhaps?

Stopped on the way home and got a cappuchino, probably not my wisest move of the day but if I'm gonna be awake anyway, this just gives me an excuse.

Got enough to share??? That sounds simply scrumptious right now..have I mentioned that hospital food leaves a wee bit to be desired/

Ohhhhhhhhhhh Merle! Come out, come out wherever you are.

You did indeed! How are you?

(((Hello)))

I so appreciate the prayers and well wishes for my niece, Jackie. She has her second surgery in about an hour where her back and pelvis will be fused and rods and screws will be placed in both, all with the hope that she will be able to walk again. Physically she is doing somewhat better but emotionally she's not. She doesn't want to talk to anyone, not even family and cries alot, some from the physical pain but more so from the pain of losing her husband. All we can do is be there for her and the kids and love her till the tears stop. She asks what she is supposed to do, her heart is broken and sadly she didn't get the closure Dean's funeral might have brought. She was not strong enough to be released even long enough to attend. We've been told that she may be off the respirator after this surgery but still not out of the woods enough to go to a room on the floor.

Thank you again. I will post an update after the surgery.

We will talk when you feel better, Merle.

I apologize for posting in this thread. I looked at it wrong and thought it was the mm thread, oops.

Yes, go take care of yourself as well, Merle. We will catch up tomorrow. Was just here for a min to say hello.
