Guest guest Report post Posted June 23, 2000 Hey : Tonight on the way to my painting group, Painted Ladies, Drema said that she was confused and not sure she's ready for the surgery. I told her to take her time it is a big step. So...she's just not ready and I can understand that. I haven't pushed it at all and haven't even mentioned it. I think seeing me the past few days not feeling well has scared her. Now that I think I've figured out the problem, she will see that not feeling well was a short inconvenience. Your time is getting close ! Before you know it you'll be in Durham...and I'm sure by now Dr. R has forgotten who you are. I promise I won't remind him! heh heh Flo t Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted June 24, 2000 Dear Flo, I understand about Drema saying that especially if you are not doing very well right now. I will have to wait until Tuesday to go back and see what is up with you. It's the weekend again and I don't get a lot of 'computer time' on the weekends. I hope you are doing ok. I will be worried now. Take care of yourself, Mom. Saying a little prayer for you.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 29, 2000 To My Dear Sister....Older , If only I could be tucked into bed at 9pm, life would be great. Just remember I do have 4 kids and that is the only time I get to myself is when they go to bed, but that is more like 10pm since school is out. I will talk to about putting me to bed at 9pm and then he can get the kids to sleep and do some cleaning.....hummmm sounds good to me.....But it is only 20 days until I do the dance with Dr.R so I know I won't get much sleep until Dr.R wears me out dancing and I go to sleep for a while and wake up a new person.
