  11. fred, be brave. LOL I know you will sail right through this. my sister is having knee replacement surgery next month. I guess aging affects your knee's more than I thought. I will say some prayers for you. good luck be prepared for a lot of therapy and getting out of bed the day after the surgery. keep us updated as you can. kimmie
  12. hi rose, I'm so sorry about your fall, but thankful you are ok!! isn't stroke recovery exciting? LOL interesting question cipeko asked, I too had my stroke in my bathroom, or at least on the the way there. the br is where I finally collapsed. I have you in my thoughts and prayers, that no further incidents set you back in your recovery. lord knows, none of us need that, we are trying to go forward and heal, not backward and decline. please stay safe and be well. kimmie

    Better Every Day

    jamie, i want to add my blessings that you are getting better day by day. keep up whatever you are doing, it must be working, just be cautious and follow dr's orders. you will get to where you want to be. someday soon. hang in there. kimmie
  16. debbie, i too am very sorry for your loss. kira is free of pain and sickness now its always so hard for us to put our pets down. but they do depend on us to help them when they need it. you have cared for her well. its always hard to say goodbye. i have you and bruce in my thoughts and heart, as you work through this tragedy
  17. hi terry. i'm really happy you weren't hurt in all that mess. its great that insurance will cover it all. i know you and your family like to travel alot. but lets do it without all of the action, next time LOL i'm sure you would rather have fun on the trip than fighting fire.
  18. sue, i understand alot of what you are feeling. my hubby died also , not to many years ago, we had been married for 40 years. i too missed him and still do, remembering places we would go and things we did together. we also had a neighborhood Italian restaurant, we ate at alot and they knew us too, their food was to die for. they sold the business and moved to utah. we were devastated, but they did whatever they had to do. i heard they had opened another restaurant there. i'm glad you had a great time with the family. new memories being made. our hubbys will always remain in our hearts.
  19. jamie, i think you handled it quite well. people wanting to help is a good thing at times. to much help in the wrong way scares me and could make me fall. so if they don't know what i need and how to do it, i kindly tell them no but thank you anyway. they don't seem to realize that we have to move at our pace, carefully and slowly. you did nothing wrong and i'm sure she's not upset with you either for what you said. people think since we are handicapped, we must need help!! having a hold of your clothing is not going to keep you from falling and that is definitely not a safe way to help either. she is going to hurt someone that way i know you can take care of yourself. just stay away from her, please!! stay safe and well.
