1:02 am

sprite

*hugs Kam* Hello there :) How was your day, was it as relaxed as you hoped? And how are you and your husband today?

1:02 am

Kamanjah

Perfectly lazy day today!

1:03 am

sprite

just what the doctor ordered. Am glad!

1:03 am

Kamanjah

He's been dozing on and off almost all day. It was cold and windy out, so perfect day to stay inside and be lazy!!

1:03 am

sprite

and dozing is the best. A chance for his body to recuperate from the day before.

1:04 am

Kamanjah

Exactly!

1:06 am

flosey

too tired tonight, bb tomorrow, good night all

1:06 am

sprite

*hugs flosey* Sleep well, dear lady, and dream of winning with bridge

1:10 am

sprite

still no word from Rose. I hope she is just busy or resting. Am worried.

1:12 am

Kamanjah

Oh no, I hope she's just resting.

1:12 am

sprite

me too

1:14 am

sprite

wrote her another email.

1:15 am

Kamanjah

I hope you hear from her soon. She usually tries to pop in for at least a quick hello if nothing else...that is of concern

1:16 am

sprite

exactly, and she usually answers emails too. Can't help worrying.

1:18 am

Kamanjah

Please do let me know if you hear from her via email. I don't need all the details, just really would like to hear there hasn't been a complication.

1:19 am

sprite

gladly. Could you write me an email, so that I'll have your addy? Mine is in my profile

1:19 am

grannyrose

my dear friends... i am almost okay. i need to take things very slowly. church this morning. since then i have been sitting with feet up. i have this sort of thing, like a palpatation. my heart sort of seems to skip a beat, then i need to sit quietly and breathe slowly and deeply. doc nick says this is okay, it will settle.

1:20 am

Kamanjah

Will do. She has my email, but I'm *really* bad about staying on top of mine because there is just so much junk!!

1:20 am

Kamanjah

HI!!! Huge hugs!

1:20 am

sprite

ahhhh there she is.

1:20 am

sprite

lovely to see you, hun, we were worried. The palpatation doesn't sound fun, but good to know the doc is not worried. You take things as slow as needed, sweetie.

1:22 am

grannyrose

i sure am. i'm gonna write a list for Don. this is what we need to do before Christmas, this is what we need to do for mattygroves visit. etc

1:22 am

Kamanjah

So, what's this "almost" stuff? The doc says take it super easy and you'll be ok? Or is there more to follow? Please take care and stay calm. I'm happy to see you could pop in to say hi!

1:23 am

sprite

very good. Have you had a chance to talk with him about more help yet?

1:23 am

grannyrose

everyone, at home, and church, and anyone whom i visit are all on igh alert.

1:25 am

grannyrose

*high*

1:25 am

sprite

not surprising. You gave us all a big scare, my dear friend.

1:26 am

grannyrose

hey, i was in my skin....no-one with me...

1:26 am

grannyrose

pina

1:27 am

grannyrose

oops, sorry

1:27 am

sprite

*grins*

1:27 am

sprite

anything I can do for you, rose?

1:31 am

sprite

apart from praying for you, of course, and sending healing vibes.

1:33 am

grannyrose

honey, with all the prayers i have being said for me i feel so suported. even during the procedure, i felt the support of those praying for me. it was so comforting.

1:34 am

sprite

it is, isn't it? It always touches me so deeply, the way we can actually feel the support we are getting.

1:35 am

sprite

a warm *hug* for you and Don, and one for Kam too. I am off to a meeting. Rose, take very good care of yourself, please? We need our rose around for a long time still :)

1:36 am

grannyrose

hope your day is good for you my dear friend. xoxox

1:37 am

Kamanjah

Have a nice day, Sprite! At least we got to verify first hand that Rose is 'almost ok' - which is better than not ok...

1:48 am

grannyrose

kam.... i am also outta here dear friend. hope you and himself have a good 24 hours. xoxox

1:48 am

Kamanjah

You take care and rest! Get better and I look forward to chatting again tomorrow about this time!
