Al--Don't count the candles

[Guest guest]

Happy Birthday, Al!

Ron was upset about turning 65 (I know you are nowhere near that!!)

until I reminded him that it is not how many birthdays he's had, but

simply a celebration of the blessing that God gave us when He created

Ron.

He is so very special to me, and has always made me feel beautiful

(even tells me that) and I am sure that Diane (is that your wife's

name?) feels the same. so go out there and just enjoy another day of

being alive in a wonderful, beautiful world where lots of people love

and care about you. And my birthday wish for you is for no pain

God bless,

Judi

Thanks Judi,

Yeah, the big 40. I have always been a firm believer that age is all

in the mind. Heck, I already have the body of an older person

anyway...LOL!

It sounds like Ron is a great guy and that you have a wonderful

relationship. Actually, my wife's name is . I will definitely

heed your advice and enjoy life and count my blessings everyday. I

have so much to be thankful for.

My birthday wish is for all of us to have a painfree day as well.

All my love,

Al

Hey Al, Only 40?? Hey, you're still a kid! My stand on age is I

refuse to grow up and I refuse to grow old. I still like playing in

the sand, having water fights, and licking the frosting out of the

bowl! If someone says " Come on, let's go have some fun " I'm usually

out the door before they finish their sentence. Within reason, of

course.

You & and Randi and your family will stay in my prayers. Ron

goes to the neurologist Friday to find out if he really does have

Parkinson's. If so, at least it is treatable. Meanwhile, you enjoy

a peaceful, joyful, painless week!

Hugs, and God bless,

Judi

Belated Happy Birthday! Don't worry -the reflux and hiatal hernia probs can be

taken care of. I had an anemia problem that was also partially related to that.

Just take whatever meds they prescribe and find out what foods trigger it. Of

course, be prepared to find out they are things you love....LOL. If you are as

much as a caffeine addict as I am that is a tough one to give up. I am

currently on Aciphex...having moved up from Axid and Prevacid. Works reasoanbly

well but I had major problem with it still this weekend. It has to be pretty

bad to do surgery- the surgery isn'talways successful and has its own side

effects.The meds we take are often the cause of the problems and they can't be

eliminated. Drink plenty of water with meds and always eat with them...advice I

don't always follow.

Hope your birthday was wonderful! Give hugs to for me. Let me know too if

you manage to go to . You and Randi remain in my prayers.
