    Lisa -I thought about you when I took the Toro out last week. Glad the new seat is comfortable. And good luck with the upcoming surgery. Any idea if it's open surgery or if they'll be able to do it laparoscopically? You probably said and I skipped over it. Lanette B)

    Sorry! Didn't mean to be obscure. The VA just approved a surgery consult to further explore issues that showed up on the CT scan. Don't know if surgery will be necessary or warranted until I talk to a surgeon. I did send the results to my gastroenterologist's office, and they want another CT scan that concentrates on the "small bowel," to get more information. Not sure what they'll do with the information when they get it, but a CT scan isn't too bad as far as tests go, so not sweating that one.


    Lisa - you weren't obscure - I now remember you said it's just a consult. :) Thanks for jogging my memory. I'm sure they'll tell you the "how" when and if it gets down to surgery. Good luck!

    Thank you Lisa! I'm on my third nap and fourth cup of tea. I'm a believer in rest and hot liquids for colds. We have leftover pot roast for my parents dinner, so that's easy. I think I'm nodding off again!

    Welcome newbies and returnees! (((hugs))) to those who need them.

    Thanks for getting us started anew, Barbie!

    I'm so sorry about Destiny, Debbie. I'm glad she's getting the preliminary help she needs. Hope she can get into St Jude's. Sending love and prayers.

    Holy crap is right, Kelly! I follow the calendar based on my designers and when they started giving me kits for May a month ago I thought, "WAIT, WHAT?!?" and then, "Okay... it's a month away." and the BAMM! It's here! I'm really quite excited because I decided that I am NOT going to work at all this summer however, that means I'm going to have to get those lousy ducks lined up now for next fall. Not truly an issue because, if I'm not 100% ready then things will just be later than "usual" in September and the case managers will not mind. They're busy enough at that time anyway.

    Thanks for the new list, Rita!

    1. Do something kind for someone you really care about... it's mail-a-card Monday, DONE!
    Love and Blessings, Carla, in MN
