Dear Dorothy: all the best to you today. Hang tough, thinking of you with lots of good thoughts.

Hey Dorothy

Nothing like Victoria's Secret to cheer you up - might be better if you don't take it to hospital though - the last thing you will feel (I would imagine) is frisky. Save it until you get home - well, and ready to go.

Take care sweetie. Thinking of you and wishing wonderful things for you.

Lyn :)

PS happy birthday - and many more to come!!!

Dorothy,
wishing you all the best and can't wait to hear how well you did

Dorothy from OZ, You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I will be there in spirit holding your hand. You are strong and can do this. As far as the Victoria Secret------ YOU GO GIRL!!! I love it!!!

God Bless,

Lori

[JulieNH]

Dorothy,
You are in my thoughts and prayers!! Victoria's Secret? Boy, you are sooooo much more stylish than I was! I had my Johny with sweat pants, IVs attached. My husband went out to get me a robe and he came back with a silk ashes-of-roses full length number trimmed with ostrich feathers and bunny slippers (ears up, of course). How's that for a vision! I was a fashion DON'T for 19 or 20 days (not that anyone noticed!).

You're a strong woman. Again, my thoughts are with you!

Good morning, Mersey told me there were posts here that my MOOSE started I cant tell you how suprised I was and seeing Moose write, I have missed you so very much dear one. I ALSO Saw MAny wrote me in my ANYERUSM FOrum on here, LOVE you Guys and Gals so much for praying fo rme, IT WAs GREat TO READ all the Postss on my TWO groupss last night and MAde me CRY, in a good way of courrse., COUOLDNT do it wihtouyt my forum frends I tell you that much.



MERSEY SEnt me ANother Gift this Surgery: BIG VAse Shaped like a PItcure in GReen with BRIght Yellow Tulips and IT sat next to me in Hospital the whole Time, and sits now in my room, THankyou HONEy I LOVE you and so does my family


Surgery is never easy for me, spent 2 days vomiting non stop as usual and wanted to just clobber the anestesist who said the NEW! kind would help with nausea, also did some acupuncture on wrist, NOt only did it NOT work I had Very Violent vomiting from it, I told him over and over"you dont know me I have very bad reactions to Anestesia and so the story continues, it will always be that way for me.

I had my massive tumor removed and stiches are in place and some super glue type stuff so Im able to shower in my shower chair YEAH for small favors. My back looks flatter now FINALLY, so I have very very long scars from back of head down to middle of Thoracic now but who cares I dont have my QUAZIMOTO anymore
I weighed in at 88 pounds and surely took a set back but Im on top of it drinking shakes and what not.

They werent going to let me go until Monday and I said NO WAY!!!, my foot was swollen and they thought I had blood clot possibly, Doctor looked and cleared me , I looked at doctor and nurse and said" WELL what are yoiu going to do if I DO have a CLOT, I cannot Have blood thinners since I have Another Anuerysm in my brain so I guess it donest matter does it!" They all looked Ashen in the face and said": your right".

So Im home.
We Get home and within short time my hubby Yells aat me and my daughter to STAY INSIDE!!!!, we look out window and there are Police cars and Fire Trucks and MEdic car all over In front of our home, I was freaked out, as our oldest had gone to Get me something in the car and I was sooo drugged still and in panic. we SEe its ALL next door neighbors whom we have known for years, good neghboors in early 60s, her hubby had FALLEN OFF THE ROOF! , my daughter pulls up and races next door and helps, there is blood everywhere from his fall and insides of his leg on the Cement. So my youngest and I saw them CArt hiom away with head STrapped down into MEdic Ambulance. He is ONE luycky man, he badly hurt leg, fracurted Nose, and Fractured The bones around his EYE! so he is having recrunstructive surgery on face. Poor man, poor wife, when better I will go next door to BRIng flowers and FOod for them. They love my kids and WIsh thier Grandson would MARRY my oldest,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha (shes about to Turn 21), Goes to Church, LOVe Life and is lovley, What can I Say I did SOMETHING RIGHT In thiss Woirld.

Welll I AHve to go my hubby is taking me to have a FAcial and MANicure and Pedicure, GOTta Love that Guy. I look Like a TRain Wreak.


**I SOmeone could FORward this FOR me to ANuerysm group ID So APpREciate it.
