    Good morning.
    Sending healing thoughts out to Roger. Hope he's feeling ok and getting some sleep.
    Mostly cloudy here today with a high of 83, t-storms expected in the afternoon.
    Jo, hope you enjoyed your puttering and got a chance to relax and read.
    Irene, hope you get to enjoy your pool today.
    I didn't get to the grocery store yesterday, but went to Frederick and picked up my dry cleaning at Zips. Also checked out a Burlington Coat Factory there. It was kind of a mess, but picked up a some cute shorts onesies for my grandson.
    We're going to my daughter's for Father's day this evening. It will be great to have the whole family there.

    Good evening;
    I heard from Roger's brother today. Here is what he sent me.
    To Joanne

    I am Rogers Brother, and he has asked me to let some of the folks he is in contact with on the food forum and let them know what is happening. You are on the list. please overlook the cut and paste, as I am doing it to save the time it would take to retype it several times for the others he has asked me to contact

    So here we go. He was admitted friday morning to rwj new brunswick. His operation took around 9 to 10 hours. According to the doctors they removed a bit over half of his liver, the gall bladder, some lymph nodes, a very large tumor, and he lost a lot of blood as the tumor had grown blood vessels that were attached to other areas. The tumor size the doc told me on the phone friday eve was " very large" when pressed, stated although a irregular shape, about the size of a small watermelon. When I saw him sunday he was sleeping a lot and very weak. still on IV drips and a epidural for pain control. The DR. was away for the weekend and covering Dr say little

    Do not know how long he will be there or what sort of prognosis there is as yet nor do I have any idea what if any follow up protocols there will be.

    Mike T.

    Hi all,
    I got the note from Mike too. It'll probably be a while before we hear from Roger, but it was nice of Mike to let us know. Sending more healing thoughts up to Roger.

    Good evening;
    It has been raining all day. We are back at the gym this week. I didn't gain any weight on vacation but have been stuck at the same weight for about a month. Ideally I would like to lose another 20 lbs. but I will settle for 10.
    Roger- you are in my thoughts and prayers and I hope you are feeling better every day.
    Vix-you were a busy girl today. :)
    Irene-do you walk or run on the treadmill? The one I use at the gym has a program on it that I can do laps. I walk a lap, run a lap until I reach 2 miles. I am slowly trying to build up to running a mile.
    Have a good evening. :)

    Good morning.
    Healing thoughts being sent to Roger...miss him and his early morning posts.
    Irene, that's pretty good on the tread mill.
    Jo, you're doing good too...great that you can run on the treadmill.
    I'll probably use my eliptical today, maybe some pt exercises, and some cleaning.
    Nothing else planned.
    Hubby's gone for some blood tests today, and tomorrow he's going to get one of those internal camera tests, so he has to fast later.
    Another day into the 80s today with expected t-storms this afternoon.
    Have a good Wednesday, everyone. :)

    Good morning.
    Cloudy, warm, and windy here this morning. Forecast shows partly cloudy with a high of 79.
    Enjoy your 3-day weekend, Jo. Strawberry picking sounds like fun...are they organic?
    Irene, nice that George has taken off some time. Yay for pool time. :smiley:
    I'm getting my car serviced today...oil change, tire rotation, etc. Not fun, but necessary.
    Tomorrow afternoon, we're going to see the florist set up another wedding. That should be fun.
    I hope Roger is doing well. Maybe we'll get another note from Mike.
    Anyway, have a good Friday, everyone.

    god morning, Jo the strawberries sound yummy I love strawberries. Since I started eating the built bars for my afternoon snack my weight loss has started again between that and the treadmill so I am 1 happy person here. Vix looking at the flowers sounds like fun. We have no plans for today except hopefully we can get in the pool 1st day in a while that it hasn't rained. Jo enjoy your days off take care hope to hear from Roger or Mike soon.

    Good morning.
    I need to get in a little exercise this morning, and maybe a nice hot soak. Maybe a little housework too.
    Enjoy your long weekend, Jo. Good to get the housework out of the way to free up the rest of your time off. :) Have fun picking strawberries.
    Irene, congrats on getting the weight loss going again...enjoy your relaxing weekend, and the pool.
    Looking forward to this afternoon.
    Happy Saturday, everyone. :)

    Heard from Mike today...Roger is in a bad way. He could use some extra prayers and healing thoughts. I think you are both getting the emails too, but just in case you haven't looked. I really hope he comes through this.
