Mom and Dad were so cuddly-looking when they came over. Translation: they were each sitting on their own side of the car and smiling. Well, it's something.

SS, it is kind of you to think of me. I am much better than I would be without my excellent support system. Some days are better than others. Today had a few rather bad moments, but overall was a good day. I felt much more zippy than I have for a while; I guess not losing blood will do that for you. I got lots cleaned, the kids even helped, and we had time to read stories. The Dervish is tired, and will be asleep in 10 minutes, I think. So as days go it wasn't bad.

There are too many pregnant ladies and newborn boys for comfort. I want a baby so much, but when I think of getting pregnant again it's very scary, scary enough that I wouldn't mind if there were no more, either. Oh well, it's a moot point until I'm completely well, anyway.

My electrode places itch, but I have been in no pain, and haven't taken even a one of my nice, new prescription of codeine. Maybe I shouldn't tempt myself by mentioning Dervish and codeine on the same page.

The weather is nice. It has been springlike here, but AJ has to drive through awful fog many days to get to work. So does Mom, I'm sure.

Dad even kept smiling when Mom gloated that he was turning the big 6-0. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

SS, I will copy and paste from my thread over the weekend if I remember, but I finally got around to explaining why what you said about singing helped me so much. I have to run and open the gate, but anyway thank you.

Neak,
I worry for good reason, and you understand why. We'll be praying for you right along.

T&L,
Sweet dreams - and the rest that accompanies them.

Hi AW.

Hi C.

SS


I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

Sigh. When you worry, there's always a good reason. Are you this smart at work, too?

I'm glad you can see improvement. Some days seem to be better, and others I feel like I haven't gotten very far. Though it is never as bad as that one stretch, so that alone is good.

And wouldn't I have looked silly sitting next to him in the middle? Down out of sight. On the floor. Where there isn't any seat... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

It's not nice to fool with Mother's nature! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Keep on being snarky with ME, young lady, and I'm cutting you out of your inheritance.

I TRIED to call her up and tell her she made me laugh out loud, but she kept telling my juvenile messenger to "shush" and finally (on his last trip), as he put it, "made a going-away motion with her hand," so I gave up and went to sleep. After 36 hrs. I was tired.
