I don't feel spit-pollished yet, but I'm home!

17 years ago

Hi everybody!

Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts. I see Tom managed to actually post a thread by himself. Isn't he great! He has been very attentive and I don't know what I'd ever do without him.

The procedure must have worked although it took twice as long as planned and I coughed my fool head off the whole time in the hospital. I slept right through even the time of lying flat on my back for hours after -- very likely do to "over-medication."

I came home on Sat afternoon, but still felt like a basket case.(This was due to that cough.)

We have only one hospital in the central MN area and they monoplize the medical care to the point of no choices. I could write a book about the stupidity, lacking in care, and non-ability to carry things from one department to another, BUT that will have to be another thread sometime.

Did you hear me when I yelled at you all? I told you to stop stareing at my "bed-hair." You were all lined up around the perimeter of the room with plastered-on smiles. LOL

I know they were all real smiles from some of the sweatest people I know.

I've had a couple issues there myself. I guess there are some issues with how they came across because I did spend some time crying about it off and on. I thought, kind of like Lisa, that I was being too sensitive. Now, with all the different opinions, it definitely seems they have some problems with how they communicate to their members. I still think their hearts are in the right place, but they should work with how they communicate what they need to, or basically, they need to work on how they come across to others. Cody used the word "reprimand" which is very much how they come off. Anyways, Lisa, I'm glad you've successfully completed so many "trades" there as they call them. I've been trading there for over a year and haven't done near that many! There are some great members there as you get to know the individuals. I'm glad I blew off the issues there to be able to get to know some of the great gardeners/people in the group. Blessings, Angela

I'm 2/3 set....well, sort of. I'm still working on the hand made item, but I found the cookbook yesterday. Like many of you, I had to get 2 of them, one for myself and one for my partner. I'm still puzzling over the local item. I've found a nice locally produce item, but I'm not sure about shipping it. I'm going to do some more research. I've thought of other things, but Texas is a big state, and I'm not sure if the other side of Texas counts as local. Unfortunately, where I live the primary locally produced products are McMansions. I know I can spend as much as I want, but I'm NOT spending THAT much! LOL. Besides, that would definately be hard to ship! Sally

I'm 50 and I don't feel 25!

I turned 60 a few weeks ago. I can't believe I'm even typing that! It was nothing for me turning 50. But 60 is just shocking to me. I'm grateful to be in good overall health. I've never been a gym-goer or a strict dieter, but I've always been active, eaten well, maintained my weight, drink little, used sunscreen, etc. I keep up with everyone in the family whether it's hiking a mountain, doing heavy yard work, housework, kayaking, swimming, ice skating. I don't think my grandkids ever consider that I might be too old to join in any activity. So strange, as I never saw my own grandmother in a bathing suit and can't remember any of the grandparents even going for a long walk. My DH is even more athletic than I am - but he's only 59 ;) He still plays ice hockey once a week on a men's league with my 37 yr. old SIL. The only real issue I have with aging is my eyes. Why did I never appreciate perfect vision?! I didn't need reading glasses till into my 50's. Then 3 yrs. ago I needed help for distance, too. Thought I solved things by getting Progressive contacts, but my eyes became sensitive to them so I can only wear them for several hours at a time. I'm supposed to do eye scrubs morning & night followed by hot compresses. All this to just see clearly and comfortably. Boo. I know that if that's my only complaint I am one lucky person. My biggest fear is Alzheimer's. My Mom was afflicted beginning in her late '70's. She was otherwise healthy and active. Took no meds other than a multivitamin. I was her primary caregiver for the 3 yrs. before she passed. It was hell on earth for her in her moments of lucidity to realize she was losing her mind. She'd been a (wonderful) nurse for 40 yrs. and at one time worked with geropsych patients. Toward the end she did not recognize I was there and would cry, pointing to my picture saying, "She never comes anymore". It was heartbreaking. If I let myself dwell on it, I am terrified it might happen to me. So I try to focus on the present and do the best I can to stay mentally & physically healthy.

Need help making spring garden but I'm only 12 and I don't have any $$

Michael, come back. I'm sorry that someone made this comment to you. " Michael, you're only 12 years old? Without money or a loan from your parents you won't have a very successful garden." I'm certain that you can have a little garden with a $10 bag of potting mix, some sweat and a bit of water. Please ask your parents if you can give me your address and I'll send you a $10 gift card to a hardware/home depot close to you for a bag of potting mix along with some flower seeds for you to try out. Kudos to Autumn and infiniteohms for trying to help this aspiring gardener get a head start by offering up some seeds. Kiliandwarrior, I'm sure that your opening statement to this young man wasn't meant to be discouraging BUT it was. I hope the poor boy hasn't been scared off. Lisa/ishare PS: We have another young man who loves to grow flowers and he plays in all the swaps with the ladies. We love him. His screen name is heavenlyfarm.

Welcome home and don't be in a big hurry to do anything, until you regain your strength. 'Rome wasn't built in a day' you know. Healing takes a bit of time and happens much quicker when you're in your own home!
