    Good morning.
    Roger was going to see the Dr. Hopefully, we'll hear from him soon. Thoughts and prayers out to Roger, just in case it was worse than he thought.
    Sunny and breezy here this morning. Expected high of 70 today.
    Wishing everyone a good Monday.

    Good evening;
    I see no word from Roger, Hugs and prayers.
    Irene-I hope your back up camera is fixed. I love mine. It took me a while to get use to it, but now I would be lost without it.
    Hi Vix.
    I just got home from the gym. I didn't go at all last week, so this week I am going to make myself go even if I don't want to.
    Stop and Shop's strike has ended, so now our store is back to normal.
    Have a great evening. :)

    Hi
    I'm home from the hospital, Still tired and once I post this I'm off of here, I need to get some meds delivered, Call for follow ups and schedule a outpatient procedure.

    Short story. I say the Doctor and he sent me to the ER for a Catscan. The Catscan showed a incarcerated hernia that had trapped some intestines. They did the surgery the same day. It was described as a large hernia and that it had to be repaired the old method, It seems I also have a small hernia on the other side that he can do on a same day in and out basis with robotic surgery after the outpatient procedure is done, Busy, busy and oh so tired. I was barely able to get dressed to come home with the bloating from all the IV fluids they pumped into me. I ended up with the waistband unbuttoned and partially unzipped. I was told not to lift anything over 20 pounds for at least 8 weeks, I also will not be walking for a while :(

    I got released Monday evening and today is the first day I feel at all like turning the computer on.

    I will be back to read messages from while I was absent tomorrow.

    Have a Good Day
    Roger

    Roger!!!! So glad you're back!!! I was worried about you. Sorry you are going through all that, but at least it's something that can be fixed. Listen to the doctors and get plenty of rest. I hope you feel better soon.
    Jo and Irene...I love my backup camera too. It is probably a wire, Irene...that used to happen to my horn on my Jeep...haha, Jeep wouldn't beep.
    Glad things are getting back to normal, Jo. Sometimes you need a little time off.
    Overcast and windy at the moment, but supposed to be mostly sunny today with a high of 72.
    Rain expected tomorrow and Friday. Probably going to check out a restaurant today for the rehearsal dinner. Also expecting one of my dress orders to come in.
    Should be a nice day, no place I have to be at a specific time.
    Happy Wednesday, everyone. :)

    Roger-I am so glad you are on the mend. I was very worried. Get plenty of rest and do what the doctor tells you.
    Irene-sorry that you have to get a new back up camera. Condolences on your loss.
    Vix-Good luck with the restaurant and your dresses.
    It is 64 and sunny. I opened the windows to let the house air out.

    Hi all.
    Irene, condolences, have a safe trip.
    Jo, glad you're enjoying the nice weather.
    Reserved a room in a restaurant for the rehearsal dinner...now just have to figure out the menu, get invitations, etc, etc. But glad that I found a nice place. The 2 I was most interested in weren't available. I didn't realize places booked up so far in advance.
    Busy day.
    Have a great evening, everyone. :)

    How's it going, Roger. Hope you are feeling a little better every day.
    I got 2 dresses in the mail yesterday. They both fit and look ok. I'll try them on for my daughter and see what she thinks...always good to have a 2nd or 3rd opinion!
    Painting class for me this a.m. It's overcast today with a high of 71 expected, rain tonight and tomorrow.
    Happy Thursday, everyone. :)

    Good morning;
    Roger-it is good to have you back. Good luck with your next procedure.
    Vix-Sounds like you checked off a couple more things on the wedding planning list. Good luck with the menu.
    Irene-It would be good if they can fix both things at once, saves you a second trip to the dealer.

    Hi
    Before I forget again, heading into the ER last week I found 11 cents, Since I will not be walking for a while I expect that will be the last in quite a while.
    Of and On Rain is in the forecast for today, So far it was raining overnight, then it stopped by the time I got up and is now raining again.

    FWIW I am slowly feeling a little bit stronger day by day.

    Before I forget I really had no way to keep in touch in the hospital, I thought about trying to walk my brother through where to post over the phone, His mind interprets what I say in unusual ways so I gave up, Sorry.

    I really did not expect to be admitted and operated on when the doctor sent me there :(

    Hello Joanne
    The next thing(s) are outpatient, One being Robotic Surgery on a small hernia, and the other some testing, Unless the tests reveal something in need of a instant hospitalization they should be a small speed bump.

    That does not sound good to me that the meds have to be shipped, I hope the delay is not a problem.

    Have a Good Day

    Hello Irene
    Since I never used a Backup Camera I am not sure how critical that is. When I back up I tend to rely on the three mirrors.

    I'm sorry to hear about the death, Have a safe drive

    I am feeling a little better daily, I wish it was quicker. The restriction on not lifting anything over 20 pounds is throwing a burden on my brother preparing his garden, including picking up mulch and topsoil.

    I suspect with a 99% certainty that by the time I go walking again I will back at the start of that for distance :(

    Have a Nice Day

    Good morning.
    Safe travels, Irene. Would be great if the dealer can fix both at the same time.
    Roger, glad you're starting to feel better. Hope the next procedures are smooth sailing.
    This getting old stuff has its drawbacks. :disappointed: It's good that you and your brother are close and can live together. :)
    Jo, poor Sophie, hope she feels better soon.
    I'm going to continue to look for dresses, but at least I know I have one I can wear if I find nothing better. I was happy they fit (except for having to be shortened).
    Rainy, high of 70 today, t-storms expected later. No special plans for today. Maybe some grocery shopping...out of salad again.
    Happy Friday, everyone. :)

    Good morning;
    Roger-I am glad that you are feeling better every day. I am keeping good thoughts that the next procedure goes off without a hitch. Did the doctor say no walking? I would think short walks would be good for you to get your strength back. Congrats on finding 11 cents.
    Irene-safe travels and again my condolences.
    Vix-good luck on the dress hunt.
    Today is work and after work, grocery shopping. I am happy to be going back to my local store.
    Have a good day! :)

    Roger, hope you're resting up. And soon to be feeling better.
    A little cooler today, sunny and windy. Only expected high of 65.
    I'm going for my 2nd shingles shot this a.m., stopping off at the library, and whatever else comes along.

    I have posted some humor, Enjoy

    Hi
    Just in case so that I do not drop out of sight in the future. If anyone wants to send their email or Mailing address so my brother can let everybody know put them in a PM so that email address bots can not get them.

    I have an appointment for 10:30 Tuesday morning for a outpatient test which means I need to be out of the house around 8:30 for the drive to the hospital and a 1.5 hour ahead of time fill out the paperwork etc. which is what they want so Tuesday morning I may not be on or if I am not for long.
