2:14 am

wow rose... that is pretty serious stuff. So what do they say? Just in time to avoid a massive heart attack?
2:15 am
sprite
too darn close indeed. {{{{{{{{{rose}}}}}}}}}}
2:16 am
grannyrose
exactly honey. rose was nearly no more. could explain the feeling of doom i had
2:17 am
sprite
definitely. I was worried and now I know why. How are you emotionally now? And how is Don?
2:18 am
grannyrose
i'm okay now. i had pastoral care workers with me pre and post. don is okay i think. you have his addy see if you can raise him. that's RAISE not ROUSE...
2:19 am
sprite
hehehe I will send him an email, just to let him know he is in my thoughts and prayers as well.
2:20 am
sprite
yay for the pastoral workers. And I will send you healing vibes, okay? Lots of them.
2:20 am
grannyrose
thanx sweetie.
2:22 am

you're learning sweetie.
2:23 am

this place is like a luxury resort except for all the machines chiming and pinging. not in my room thank goodness
2:25 am
sprite
so, what do the doctors say about your recovery and prospects?
2:26 am
sprite
glad you are in a good place. Still, hospitals are bad places to be. I hope you are allowed to go home soon.
2:26 am
grannyrose
very slowly, very gently until review mid-January.
2:27 am

2:27 am

good. Will you please let Don do all the heavy work now? And if he doesn't do it, let it be. And if he doesn't do it up to your standards, let it slide. Please?
2:28 am
grannyrose
i hear you loud and clear.
2:28 am
sprite
I know you do, that is not my worry. Your hearing is fine. Your obeying sucks though :P
2:29 am
grannyrose
ummm okay, gotta wok on the obeying bit a td.
2:29 am
sprite
honey, how about a domestic help once a week? Let somebody else do the bathroom, the bed linen, the vacuuming.
2:30 am
grannyrose
i think don would rather die first
2:31 am
sprite
that is not up to him. Sorry to be so blunt, but it isn't. You are the one who does the work normally, you get to decide whether it is time to hire help troops.
2:31 am

2:43 am
Kamanjah
Right now, we're hoping our Christmas plans can still happen...and we have a date night planned for Friday - he got tickets 6 weeks ago. I hope we make it ok
2:43 am
sprite
such a cute butt is way too precious not to share with others :)
2:44 am
sprite
I hope it too for you both, Kam. It is a bit bitter when you cannot do things you were looking forward to because of health problems.
2:44 am
sprite
and welcome back, Rose. Kam was hoping you'd be back. Although she managed to send her good wishes to the bottom of the chat before you got back.
2:45 am
Kamanjah
are you all hooked up to a bunch of tubes, Rose? No fun having to have help to potty
2:46 am

2:47 am
sprite
you are doing great, honey. That is an im9 step to recovery.
2:49 am
Kamanjah
Well, that's good. Seems the lower part of your plumbing is working fine, now to make sure they fixed the pump right. Hope you'll be able to go home and do well...and like Sprite said...get someone in to do chores until you're totally back on your feet and cleared by the docs.
2:50 am
Kamanjah
Hub's doc says he could do surgery to fix, but it is not often successful with Parkinson's...we're in limbo at the moment. Not knowing what to do or what may happen is really frightening
2:51 am
sprite
it really is, insecurity is a rotten feeling. I hope there will be more clarity soon.
2:54 am
Kamanjah
Thanks. We go back to that doc Mon, then the pcp Tues, and then...we were supposed to be taking off for the holidays. I have to get the dog groomed and my car serviced, and I don't want hubs driving, so, yeah...too much on my plate. We'll figure it out, there are ways to handle, none particularly fun, but all workable.
2:55 am

A recorder group? Interesting!
6:15 pm

6:16 pm
Scrabbler
I never heard of anyone doing that.
6:17 pm
penquis
there are groups all round the country....often with people who played another instrument in the past and learned the recorder at a later age.... I play an alto and a sopranino (smaller than a soprano)...
6:19 pm
Scrabbler
And I never knew that recorders come in different sizes. I have no musical ability. After trying to play the flute for 8 weeks in 4th grade the teacher told my parents that I needed to stop. My sisters played piano, violin, drums trumpet, etc. The tried to teach me to read music and play notes but I don't get it.
6:20 pm
penquis
it's not for everyone.... ;o) ....i played the guitar and a little banjo and harmonica as a kid....took guitar lessons for a few years....
