I will just feel a LOT better when

a) his long postponed vocal cord surgery is accomplished, and

b) his damned defibrillator is taken care of.

I'm worried about his health, his safety, etcet etcet. Don't tell me not to worry; watching him I can't help it. I'm still doing most of the physical work around here (no, I'm not whining) and things are always, uh, "interesting" at work. (Never a dull moment -- but I DID win a king-size comforter yesterday in some Sears contest or other -- that's a first. And I'm not even a Sears' employee.) My stress level is through the roof even when I'm not conscious of it (too busy working) or even trying to lower it.

And so many of our friends are sorting out major health problems or "life" problems, etcet etcet, as well.

Spring is coming...isn't it?

It surely is, Linn. Sorry, wish I had words, but I know just how you feel. Love from afar.

I just yelled at Tom. He helped me bring some grocery items in from the car, sat down, and complained about his knee hurting.

DAMMIT!!! That's MY affliction! Leave it the f**k alone! He's got enough stuff wrong with him -- leave me my bone-on-bone knees to complain about and maybe get some sympathy for. Sheesh! Selfish son of a... (well, that's my opinion of his mother; but that's a whole 'nother story...and she's no longer around to afflict me...or him).

He's been in touch with his cardiologist and is getting some suggestions as to how to feel better, etc. (And if HE feels better, I'LL feel better!)

Just returned from a short interval of NOT multi-tasking -- lunch at Good 'n Plenty (HAD to get a mushroom burger) with a good book, which is about as close to mono-tasking as I can get these days. Sorry, Jeri -- I thought about calling you, but I didn't actually want to have to make conversation. (And it's more economical of time to go alone -- I've still got more stuff to do today.

Hi Linn

Having been through the throat cancer loop I know only too well what devastation it brings to the families of the sufferers.

All my love and best wishes to you & Tom.

Stay with it.....it will come good soon.......

You are in my prayers.

Love

Remember that scene from Moonstruck? WHACK! Snap out of it!

Don't do it, Linn.
