It is good see see that people haven't gone totally MIA. Bob and I moved last weekend. Bob did the moving HIMSELF. He is insane but he managed with his hand cart and muscles. We had the entire month of January to move from one apartment to the other so he moved a few pieces of furniture and boxes at a time. Last weekend was the last bit of it. And it almost killed us! I haven't felt pain like that in ages. I could barely walk or function so now I'm facing a bunch of boxes that need unpacking. We didn't get the phone line moved until a week ago and then the DSL wasn't connected for a couple more days. Bob finally found the computer to hook it up today. I have really missed you guys here and on Facebook! It was so sad putting all my "garden" things into storage because this new apartment doesn't have a patio or balcony. I'm thinking of creating a "garden" room in the spare bedroom. I want to fill it with my birdhouse/cat collecton, flowers and maybe a garden junk piece or two. Besides that ... and this is a secret ... lol ... I have been busy planning my marriage to Bob on Valentine's Day. he-he He came home one day a couple of weeks ago saying we had to get married by March 1st because that is when his pension starts and he needs to decide which payment option to take. A friend of a friend is a minister and will marry us. He said Valentine's Day was fine for him. So we are going to have a very small and short wedding on a day meant for love and romance (it also makes it easy to remember the anniversary too!). Maybe after we are married and I have pictures, I'll share the ceremony with you guys. Let's just say that everyone I tell it to thinks we are certifiably nuts. lol! Nona said it well ... I hope folks are able to heal both physically, emotionally and mentally from the setbacks experienced by many of you. Hopefully the year will only improve for all of us. Hugs to everyone!

Kristy the disk that was out of place was pushed against the syatic nerve,the Dr said he might have some numbness(sp)in his leg for a while but,I don't think Mike really knew what is was gonna be like,I do know he is having a time with it,he goes back to the Dr Monday so hopefully they will be able to tell more about it. Now Steph my DIL that just had the baby,is having some problems with her heart,she went to the Dr today and they told her it seems to be skipping a beat,she is only 25 years old,she has to go back on the 23rd for more test,so please pray for her. Please everybody don't get upset with me I have to talk to someone,and you guys really seem to care,but I am sorry if my post bothers anyone,I just can't seem to handle all this alone. Hugs Bonnie

Hello again, Gloria. You are starting on a very worthwhile effort! Quite a few years ago, I had a garden with a community of gardeners. Can you tell us more about the location, the soil, water, improvements, etc?? digitS'

Not on oxygen yet, but I've been told it won't be long. Right now we are constantly on antibiotics and pred. It is truly a drag. I'll try the healthboads.com Thanks. With a lot of the forums I tried there is not a lot of response or they are old forums. I'll keep trying. Really trying to find the right kind of meds. to be on.DR's are constantly trying new ones, work good for a couple of weeks and then either breathing gets bad again or I have a reation. Just want to get well enough right now to do some gardening. Thanks for your message Kathy
