Location: western PA | Hi folks. Hopefully I'm back for a while now. Had another week in the hospital. I found out that if the patient is truly obnoxious, the hospital will do all that is possible to effect an early release. By being my normal, charming self, I was out in record time. Once again I want to thank the "family" membership for your kind thoughts. They mean a great deal to Donna and me. You lot are absolutely the best. When you can, give your friends and loved ones an extra hug and sign of affection. The cliche' "Life is short" has never been more poignant. Every day and loved one is precious, enjoy them to the fullest. BOL Gard |

Location: Minnesota | "Three so far, two to go" Two surgeries to go? It doesn't sound like much fun, but know you've got a lot of people out here thinking about you and sending prayers that you'll be back to your old self before too long. |

| Been wondering where you were,hope you are well on the mend and continue getting better and better with each day.Know what you mean about being in the hospital or a patient,like I was,in a different role than my nurse role for nearly a year when I had cancer,and,nurses can sure make it hard on their caregivers.We're not supposed to be sick but we're human enough!  |

Location: western PA | Thank you all again. With your help I'm getting stronger every day and look forward to resuming a more normal lifestyle. My wife and I are humble by the outpouring of support we have received from you all. I hope someday I can repay you, for your most valuable generosity. Bless you, each and every one of you. In life, there are only two things to worry about—
Either you are well or you are sick.
If you are well, there is nothing to worry about, But if you are sick, there are only two things to worry about—
Either you will get well or you will die.
If you get well, there is nothing to worry about,
But if you die, there are only two things to worry about—
Either you will go to heaven or hell.
If you go to heaven, there is nothing to worry about. And if you go to hell, you’ll be so busy shaking hands with all your friends
You won’t have time to worry! |

Location: New Mexico | I know I'm behind, because I don't come here real often...but want to add my 'welcome back' to all the others' !! I think maybe it is many of us who should be thinking of a way to repay YOU for your generous sharing of knowledge and experienced opinion...this helpful willingness, widespread here on this forum, is the main reason I come here! Sincere best wishes, Margo (aka olehossgal) |
