Meet Dick - My Veteran

Our dear friend, served in three wars, WWII, Korean and Vietnam. He served our Country and fought for our freedom for 29 years! He arrived at Normandy on the third day as part of Artillery. He is a gentleman and a very dear friend. We love him. Everyone, meet M/Sgt. Richard Joseph Schwartz!

I am PERFECT...my doctor said so!

My doctor said, again, that I am perfect. Can you believe that? He's even a friend of Jesus and he said I was perfect! Actually, I am healing perfectly. He says a few things kind of funny with his accent. But I like the first translation best.

I'm feeling much better. I was up and at it all day from 8-4:30, I'm practicing for when I return to work. Can you believe one can actually have such major surgery and return to work in a week? I am living proof!

By the way. You should read my comments section of the survey I posted. Rachel did a cut and paste and she's a funny girl!

Happy Monday! Remember tomorrow is Veteren's Day. Thank one!

Stay AWAY From Sharp Objects

Anyone who knows me, REALLY KNOWS ME, knows how I am. Most people pass gas an average of 14 times a day. My average is three times that amount. I am the LAST person on earth that needs gas ADDED to her to make her bloat. Be that as it may....I've been blown up like a balloon and not passing much gas. All I can say is, yes, VH I am staying away from sharp objects and probably open flames because I feel like I am going to burst. My tummy hurts. :(

Believe it or not, there are stitches in there . . . and two other holes on either side of my bb. Today my mood is SAD because I hurt. :(

A Farewell to the Great Aunt Flow.....

She was so faithful. I'd known her since I was 13. She visited me religiously each month. She would always come when she said she'd come. She hardly ever kept me waiting. She was faithful that way. In fact, I could really gage a lot about myself, sometimes, too much based on her visits. Sometimes, in anticipation of her visits I'd grow anxious, even weepy, especially hungry with a need to eat and make food for the masses. Aunt Flow hardly ate, but boy did I in anticipation of her visits. Kind of like my dog Shelby, Aunt Flow got tougher to deal with as she got older. I dont' mean to disrespect her by comparing her to my dog. I LOVED my dog. Anyway, she just got more difficult. Her stays were still faithful, but my goodness they were exhausting and taxing. I found myself on a constant stream of Motrin when in her presence. Well, Aunt Flow has flown the coop. She has paid me an estimated 288 visits. I have loved her consistancy, her provision and I welcome her demise; knowing we are all headed to happier more comfier places in life. I bid farewell to my dear Aunt Flow.... 1981-2008
