Hey all,

Jim came out of surgery just fine. They couldn't do everything they wanted to though, so on Monday they are going back in to get it done a different way. It means a longer stay in the hospital but we want it done right. He went into shock yesterday though, which is a complication for him because of the quadripalegia. But the awesome nursing staff was right on top of it and all is good. He is a little uncomfortable but alive so we are happy.

I gave into my need of internet and got a card today. I ended up going with Verizon because they have the best service in our area. So now I am off to view the thread about the MMDGG. Can't wait to see the pics. Talk to you all later!

How scary! Praying for a speedy recovery and peace of mind.

 

[seabee]

I think all will be good. Thank you all for your prayers and wishes.

Hi Nicole! I've been thinking about you. I hope your dh has a speedy recovery!

 

[RvUsa]

Nicole, glad to hear he is doing better! Hope all goes well with the rest, keep us up to date when you can, and we are all thinking about you guys.

I know where it is!!! We were on illegal territory one night to watch wishes and out comes a FW truck and we were like.. Darn.. they are going to make us move. But no, she wheeled out the speakers and a generator... yes a generator... to play the music. And the recording is horrible!! We were disappointed that one disney couldn't run electric out to that little house and second, they can't get a better recording!!!!

Yep, the generator was LOUD! They only started it up a few moments before the music started and I couldn't imagine the music overpowering the generator sound. Well, it sure did! The music was really loud. The recording didn't sound too terrible...perhaps they have a better recording now?

So now we know that FW carriage drivers know what they are talking about. So if you hear it from the carriage driver, it MUST BE true, hahaha!

All of us retired military have to stick together! Give Jim my best. There's another Jim out there who was in the hospital too. Broke his wrist. Hope he's OK too. Another retired army puke!

 

[seabee]

Sounds like it is bad luck to be retired military and named Jim.

Glad to hear Jim is doing good. Was getting a little worried about you all.

I had a scare of my own this morning. My aunt who is only a couple years older than me (mom's youngest sister) called me and said she was having blurry vision and felt like she was going to pass out. I went to go get to her and a few minutes later a guy called me on her Nextel and said he was where she was and he thought she was having a seizure and she was unconcious (sp?). He called 911 and I met them at the hospital. Ended up it was heat stroke. She was doing some outdoor work and didn't realize how hot it was I guess. Long story short, I got to take her home and she is resting. I know one thing it's a scary feeling with a loved one behind that door and you don't know what's happening.

 

[auntie]

Nicole...I will continue to keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Please let Jim know we are all thinking of him.

I'm glad to hear she's feeling better. My mom's neighbor went to the hospital last week, with a similiar incident. She too had been working in the garden all day, and wound up being dehydrated and passed out from the heat. Luckily she was home the following day.
I would imagine it's been pretty warm in Florida.

Just west of FtW, the temp at my house hit 101!!!! It's never been this hot, this early!! YIKES!!! Actually, it very rarely hits 100, even in the dead of summer. I hate to be a jinx, but IIRC, the last time this happened, we were hit by 3 hurricanes in a row - and I live in the center of the state where hurricanes are not supposed to be a big deal. Double YIKES!!!

Nicole - I'm glad Jim is sort of out of the woods, but it stinks that they have to do more surgery. I'm keeping ALL of you in my prayers. Jim's got the easy part --- he gets all the drugs he wants!!! You, my dear, have to suffer through all this without drugs!!! Life isn't fair sometimes. (Just thought I'd make you laugh!)

 

[des1954]

Dang it!!!! I could just kick myself!! I completely forgot to tell Rog last night to go to the 2nd floor observation balcony at WL to watch the shuttle launch today. Stupid, stupid, stupid!!! Oh Rog, where ever you are, please forgive me!!
