4:41 am

That is just a small trace of a clue I have given you. ( Clue) for the other 8 for you :-)
4:41 am
mattygroves
Found it, thanks Zooz! How are you today?
4:42 am
zoozzoom
I am at parents taking a few minutes for myself before tackling the hoovering LOL
4:43 am
mattygroves
I should hoover at some point. We live in a townhouse so it's a bit of a pain
4:43 am
zoozzoom
Hw are you keeping, Matty?
4:43 am
mattygroves
I'm alright - we had a really busy week last week so it's nice to have a quiet day (though I really must go to a supermarket at some point)
4:44 am

Hi Trif!

Not eligible for consideration for 5 years :(
6:53 am
Trifioso
I miss Annie too. Just not the same without her in my mornings....
6:53 am
Trifioso
hang on - what did I miss? You are donating?
6:53 am
Scrabbler
Because of your surgery/diagnosis.
6:54 am
car.eeyore
Yes. They took it to the Board though....guess I was a really good match.
6:54 am
Scrabbler
Damn. But patient safety, for the recipient, must be considered.
6:55 am
car.eeyore
Of course.
6:56 am
Scrabbler
How is your back?
6:57 am
Trifioso
count for the lower e, center column please?

I will be seeing an orthopedist in 90 minutes about my hip pain. I think I have bursitis.

Please keep me posted...you and I seem to share a skeleton!
6:59 am

TY, dos.
7:00 am
car.eeyore
Well done you!
7:00 am
Scrabbler
I need to make so many appts that I postponed when the boys were here and when my sister was in the hospital--ortho, dentist, mammogram, derm, eye, colonoscopy, etc.
7:00 am
car.eeyore
There's a cat on my head....
7:01 am
Scrabbler
Hahaha.
7:01 am
Scrabbler
Free clue!
7:01 am
car.eeyore
Those appointments pile up so quickly
7:01 am
Trifioso
you will be clean inside and out, scrab!
7:02 am
car.eeyore
I'm do for my yearly appointment next month....if she finds anything this year, I'm running away!
7:03 am
car.eeyore
Scrabs...you will appreciate this. Took a couple of days off this weekend up in Boston. Got a great hotel room....that literally overlooked the sign on the side of the Mass Eye and Ear where I had my surgery. I asked to change rooms, but they didn't have anything available that would fit the four of us on the other side of the building. I had nightmares all weekend!
7:03 am
Scrabbler
My sister might need brain surgery again as radiation is not likely to be viable, so I fear making appts. But I want everything done before the summer.
7:03 am
car.eeyore
Oh dear. I'm sorry her journey has been so difficult.
7:04 am
Scrabbler
Oh, Car! But, you could have reframed it as a good omen. You received excellent care there and it is unlikely that you will have any problems again.
7:05 am
car.eeyore
I'm more traumatized by how sick I was afterward than anything else.
7:05 am
Scrabbler
Post-op recovery sucks.
7:06 am
car.eeyore
I just felt so forgotten and no one could tell me what was going on.
7:07 am
car.eeyore
Anyway...it will fade in time. It was just NOT what I wanted to see out my mini-cation window at all
7:07 am
Scrabbler
But you were/are strong and resilient. Every time you look at Mass Eye & Ear Institute I want you to smile and feel blessed that you had your surgery there. You promise?
7:08 am
car.eeyore
I will look at my doctor and feel that way, but not the building!
7:08 am
car.eeyore
Scrabs, what is your sister's name again? I want to put her on the prayer lists at my churches.
7:08 am
Scrabbler
Someday it will be a part of your past.
7:10 am
Scrabbler
Her name is Lisa. She has another MRI on Thursday and sees her neurosurgeon on Thursday. The team will later discuss whether gamma knife radiation can be done on the remaining tumor vs craniotomy.
7:10 am
car.eeyore
Keep us posted. I will add her to both lists today.
7:10 am
car.eeyore
((Lisa))
7:17 am

Thanks, Car. I hope that somehow she can avoid surgery again.

sorry, had to away and back again....helping with placement tests for two periods. Nice way to ease back into the schedule
7:27 am

7:27 am

It is tough to return to work after a vacation.
7:27 am

Oh that's good Trif!
7:28 am

Scrabs...I just saw your post...some of my Christmas stuff is still up too!
7:28 am
