Thank you, B2. The past week has been like walking through a stressful dream I am trying to be positive and hope I will be able to fix it without surgery.

Surgery as last last last last resort..... lilianna will agree....LAST RESORT

We have missed you..... so glad you got the time with everyone.... I am sure that your daughter was so glad to have her papa give her a cuddle..... my dad has been taking me to a couple doc visits for procedures.... I think he likes feeling needed.... my mom and I are taking a trip in the spring..... she wants to go to Minnesota where she grew up and see her parents graves. We are taking 2 or so weeks to meander there, eat at as many Italian restaurants as she wants too and spend time together.

Dads like to help. They know they raised strong daughters but still want to be close to you and helpful. It’s our way of showing love.

Positive thoughts and healing energy for you and Mrs. RJ!!! I hope they can keep her pain under control and you both can go home soon.

They're letting her go home today with scrips
They also found four polyps in her lungs, benign, thankfully

That is the last thing I want. I'm going to do everything in my power first and pray that it works

 

[Rj_1954]

That is exactly what I went through. I hope they can get the pain to subside like they did me. It was such a relief to be able to move. Hugs to you both!

They are releasing her today with scripts for Tramadol & 2 other meds

Paris had got really quite tired and dirty but then they spent billions of euros tidying it up for the Olympic Games.Back to its shiny best now.

How’s the restoration on the Notra Dame coming along? Glad I was able to see it and tour it before the fire. I for one love Paris. Had great times there. The Paris Air Show is not to be missed for sure. Now, we had a baby in tow every time we went and I have to say, Parisian’s are most accommodating with ladies and babies! Front of the line, seats given up, etc…

As the song goes…”warm summer breezes, the French wine and Cheeses…put his ambition at bay…”.

Off day today (but go in late night…third shift again) so college football day in the hotel…more Owly MZ ;

Glad everything is ok (relatively speaking) RJ. Thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery.

I hope she starts feeling better soon, RJ!

That's wonderful hun... I'm sure she's in your capable hands. And just remember as her caregiver you need to take care of yourself as well. We will all be here as a sounding board and will give you whatever support or assist you however and whenever we can...

[dkak001]

Anyone else "Not really feeling it" today? I have a list of things to do, but don't want to do them.
And no, it's not related to the fact I had a good stiff drink last night! I just don't wanna!

I didn't think so.


I may have to cry myself to sleep for my nap later.

My wife has never seen that one. I think I'll suggest it tonight!

What time are we all starting it? LOL

 

[likes2watchU]

Afternoon all!! (Or whichever day part is local to you)
quick catch up before I need to S3 and pick up some groceries...

so tiring and full of emotion as I got to cuddle my beautiful grandson and my daughter.

don't forget self-care, @Greylag happy emotions can be just as draining as negative. Be good to yourself so you don't crash

All that matters is Mum and baby are well despite the trauma thank the Lord.

truer words!! to mum and baby!!

Also saw my elderly uncle and aunt, two cousins and second cousin and her husband and children

Life events can really be a catalyst for togetherness. Love that you were able to indulge when the opportunity presented itself

Not many guys in their late sixties get to see their Mom on their birthday.

that you got to spend the day with your mom on her birthday!! So special

So home now feeling so blessed and great to be back amongst you friends drinking my pissy tea.

here you go...

Is that anything like "Get down on it"?

playing rent-free all day today:

Morning everyone View attachment 2423538

she's adorable!!!
miracles, my

I woke up with lower back pain (understatement from hell) and couldn't move and ended up in the hospital for a few days. I have to see a physical therapist and have too many bulging discs in my back. I didn't know they were there and must have irritated them in my sleep somehow. Since out it has been getting better but movements are limited.

How horrible!!! Glad you're getting better. Hope there's some improvement every day!!

Thank you, B2. The past week has been like walking through a stressful dream I am trying to be positive and hope I will be able to fix it without surgery.

Plan A

I hope the PT helps. Avoiding surgery whenever possible is best. You situation reminded me of getting a smart watch. I live alone but if I had a back situation like yours, who would know?

Same. I had a very embarrassing day at work a while back. Overslept - like a lot! When I woke, there were several calls and texts on my phone (that I slept through) from the office. My then Team Lead was very concerned. They all know I'm single and live alone and don't talk w/ family regularly. Lots of deep thoughts that day. Still no perfect solution, but does make you think about options for that set of "what ifs"

I am making soup too.

Bringing it up tomrrow to my buddy who has bad MS and to his dad who just had surgery. I wanted to do a low key drop off the soup and not be too obtrusive, but the dad is making a big deal about it. I am sure the sambucca will flow and many jokes, tales and repeated stories will be told!

Love that you keep in touch with your friend and his family. So often with chronic or severe illness it's not just the patient but their entire family and social circle that's impacted. all around!!

Dads like to help. They know they raised strong daughters but still want to be close to you and helpful. It’s our way of showing love.

Parents are awesome this way. We don't always see this when looking from the child's POV, which is a shame.

One of my most favorite memories is my first "work lunch date" with my dad. I had just gotten my first "post college graduation" job and made a date to meet my dad for lunch. Two adults with grown up jobs taking time out of their busy day to break bread together. The meal was average but the lunch was one of my favorites ever!!

My biggest regret is from when we parted in the parking lot. I had an urge to give him a big bear hug before we went back to work. Only to chastise the "Daddy's Little Girl" that we were too old for such silliness now. So, back to work with no hugs.

No one could know that he would pass in his sleep less than 48 hours later.

Tough way to learn that lesson. No such thing as too many hugs. It's okay for love to be silly. Love freely and forgive often. Because time is always too short - whether we realize or not.

benign. I know you take excellent care of her. Wishing all the best for you both!!!

That is the last thing I want. I'm going to do everything in my power first and pray that it works

Often. So I do the things that are "must" on the list (certain cleaning chores) or that benefit me (groceries) and bump the rest to the next day.

Self-Care is Health-Care

Off to pick up some groceries before Movie Night
Enjoy the day, all!!
