I'm back

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone! Remember me? Kathy from MI who had her surgery canceled by the hospital. Well, my doctor, Dr. Mustafa Hares, has found a new hospital, after 5 months of looking. It's St. 's-Oakland. It's a WONDERFUL place.

Anyway, I had my surgery on May 15. Everything went well. I was discharged on Saturday, May 19. Went to my daughters and now I am home.

Life is grand.

Patience paid off.

Sharon,

Glad that you had a great time. You sure didn't miss anything here in town. It was hot! I know it was nice at the coast without asking.

Welcome back!

Lots of Love

Sharon, glad that you are back... I will put you back on mail if no one else

has already. Glad you had a good time...Bet you wish it was longer huh?

Take your time, there will be lots of posts to catch up on. LOL

hugs

[Guest guest]

Sharon, I know the feeling......so good to get away......so good to get home.

! LOL Guess I'm in a rut too. LOL

Oh the house sounds like it was wonderful. I could just sit and listen to

the ocean and feel so good. I don't think I could have crawled down to the

beach, I probably would have rolled. LOL Getting back up would have been the

hard part.

Hope you got my post today.... I couldn't get your mail changed... Can't get

to the site . If someone out there can, would you please put Sharon back on

mail. ???? PLEASE...

Glad that you are home safe and sound.

Going to try to go plant some more plants today. Yes,..... I know I'm

really late in doing this. Most people start in spring. LOL

Dear Glenda, Love your posts! Lately they have been black background with purple print and very hard to read. Not being critical just thought you'd like to know. Love as always, Sue Marth

Hi ,

Thanks for putting me back on mail. Haven't got any yet, but I'm

sure it will get straightened out soon.

No, no, no, I would not wish for a longer vacatiion. I am such a

home-body that even five days away from home is an eternity. It was

a great vacation, but even better to be home. I love my RUT!

The house we stayed in was really nice and comfortable and I actually

slept without my Ambien. That was a miracle. We were on a small

bluff (about 50 ft.) overlooking the ocean. The whole front of the

house was big picture windows, and there was a deck along the

oceanside of the house. Beach access was down about 30 very steep

steps down to a pile of boulders that you had to crawl down. Well,

the rest of the family jumped down, while I crawled. But, I did it

and that was all that mattered. All the houses were private homes,

no hotels, so the beach was pretty much deserted. The nearest public

access was almost a mile away, and not many people walked down to

where the house was. One day I counted a total of 12 people on the

beach. It was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. Still, I am so happy

to be home!

I hope you are having a great day today! Love, Sharon

Good Morning Glenda,

What's new with you? Do you still have your grandson? How's that

going? Are you job hunting now?

It was nice at the coast! Tuesday when we arrived it was very, very

windy--you know how it can get over there. But by about 3 pm it had

warmed up and was beautiful. The rest of the days were just

gorgeous. Lots of sunshine but cool. Perfect coast weather. It

must have been hot here as our veggies were pretty wilted, even

though our son watered them. But, hey, it is perfect here this

morning. Cloudy and cool! It isn't going to be so nice for our

church this morning tho'. It's one of our summer outdoor services,

bar-b-que, etc. Doesn't look too promising though.

Take care and thanks for the welcome! Love, Sharon

Sharon,

Glad you had such a good time. Yes it was definitely hot here while you were at the coast!

No I am not job hunting yet! I am trying to stick it out and see what is coming down the pike. If they let me go I can draw unemployment for awhile. If they don't give me what I have asked for then I will quit. The new guy isn't so bad but he is about the same age as my son. Doesn't know as much as they thought he did about management because he is always asking me something. But remember I am not management material!LOL

I am just gathering info. for if and when I have to quit.

It is cloudy and overcast this morning here too. I love it. Mike turned my fan off because he is too cold. Mike says that this weather is suppose to stay for a few days. I say let it rain!LOL

Enjoy your picnic today! Maybe it wont be so bad without all the sun.

Lots of Love

Glenda

Hi Glenda, good luck on whatever happens on the job. Hope it all

works out for you.

Yes, let it rain! I never get tired of it. Well, maybe occasionally

after months of it and I have to go grocery shop while it's pouring.

But, all in all, I am just an Oregon girl and I love the rain.

We didn't stay for the picnic at church. Just went to church then

came home. I'm tired! stayed and he had a great time.

The skydivers actually made it down!

Take care and have a great day. Love, Sharon

Hi , what are you planting? Is it hot where you are today?

My grandson and I planted flower seeds a couple of months ago, and

they are doing great. We have a tiny, tiny garden this year. Just

tomatoes and bell peppers. Next year we are planning on making a

raised bed garden with lots more veggies. They just taste so much

better home-grown! Enjoy the planting! Love, Sharon

[Guest guest]

Hey, glad to be of help--that is in you learning patience. If you

HI Sharon, Welcome back. What beach did you go to? It sounds like my kind of place.

We are so glad your back, we've missed you!

Hi Lu,

We live in Oregon, about an hour away from the coast.

Where we went is called South Beach. It is about 7

miles from Newport which is one of our larger coastal

communities. The Oregon coast is so beautiful because

you have the ocean on one side of the highway, and

forested mountains on the other side. In places we

have huge sand dunes, and in other places miles of

flat sandy beach. See, don't ever ask me about the

coast. It is my all time favorite spot in the world!

(next to my home) Come on over for a visit. Thanks

for the welcome back. As much as I love the coast, it

is so good to be home. Have a wonderful day, Sharon

Hey everyone,

It's been quite some time since I wrote to this list.

I underwent a bimaxillary osteotomy over Easter last year. Although the

results have been good, it's not been without a cost.

A week after I had it done, a vein went and burst in the roof of my mouth.

It was not a fun time; the vein actually burst earlier and it'd been getting

progressively more and more painful, until it managed to force its way out

through the stitch line on the right hand side of my mouth.

I almost needed a blood transfusion; fortunately, things started to turn

around just in time. One more bleed and the surgeons were going to reopen my

mouth and burn the c**p out of everything.

I recovered and eventually got back into my swimmingŠ until one day at the

pool I got a very nasty pain in my sinuses. The surgeon believes it might be

a titanium screw that's come loose (which was holding the bone together

after the surgery), and (fingers crossed) taking out the screw will fix it.

My friends have had a great time making jokes about me having a " few loose

screws " in the meantime.

So, anyway, I'm all set to go into surgery in a little under 12 hours time.

9am Monday, Australian east coast. I'm confident (touch wood) that getting

the screws out wont be as bad as getting my jaw broken (which is what

happened last time) but any anaesthesia is to be feared.

What's more, I really hope it fixes the sinus problem, so I can get back in

the pool/surf.

Thanks for listening, and speak to you all later.

That all sounds really nasty, and I am so sorry it happened. Maybe

all the tough stuff is behind you -- I hope so!

Do they know why the vein ruptured? I don't remember hearing that one

before...

I have heard that taking the screws out is a pretty simple procedure.

My surgeon, in fact, said so -- but I had lower only. This one may be

tougher to access. Hope not, and that getting it out solves many

problems for you, all in one easy swoop!
