Wendy, Thank you so much for your box. I recieved it as I was walking out the door heading for my long drive to DC. I hurried and opened it and wrote a note to Jason with directions for the plants. The plants looked great and I love everything else that you sent :) Wendy sent me 4 plants, one that I know is sedum, and maybe a vine looking plant, and the other two I am not sure of. - pot hanger decorations, I do not know the 'real' name of what they are. But they are really cute and will look good on some of the pots that I painted :) -lighthouse statues -little stand with a flag -scrapbooking paper -butterfly windchime... that was my favorite!! If I forgot anything, please remind me! Again, I was on my way out the door, and I am writing from memory. Thank you so much Wendy, I loved your gifts!

Vickey, as you start in that office, stop and take a breath, you will feel us surrounding you. This brings back very painful memories for me. I will never forget for the rest of my life, as I am starting down the hall to the cancer ward, my legs felt like chunks of iron. Won't go into all the details but have a wonderful ending for my story, I am not one to talk with folks when I am upset over something, and when I went into this huge room, people were sharing all around us. It seemed so natural to be talking together and sharing, normally when I go to a doctors office, we sit at the most out of the way place and not make eye contact with anyone. Guess we were all strangers that needed a friend at that very moment. Know we care.

Thanks everyone! I was a little (ok a LOT ) worried about my heart test.The DR seemed surprised that I had no heaart damage,since I've smoked since high school and I'm 54 9 (soon to be 55) now.And I've been overweight almost my whole life.One time I was at normal weight for my height,back in 9th grade to 12th grade.That was when diet pills(speed) were legal.I took diet pills for 3 or 4 years.After I go to the lung DR,I still have to go to a regular DR for aa physical and blood tests..by the time this is over I will have had every part of me checked! LOL! I have to go back to the heart DR in 6 months just for aa checkup.Hate to think of it...he is so busy..my appointment was at 9,I didn't see him til 12:15! Everytime I went to him it took 3 to 4 hours.Then we went to Larry's DR at 4;30,another hour at a DR....he's getting blood tests for his cholesterol and everything. I haven't been to a DR since I got my hysty about 5 yrs ago,now it seems I'm always at one! LOL!

romy: afib/aflutter is what they said, with a non-stemi heart attack. I don't know if the heart attack caused the afib or vice versa. Looking back, I could kick myself for not calling 911 when I had that "episode" in the middle of the night a few days before I went in the hospital. They've referred me to a pulmonary specialist for the cough. I'm kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop.
