Dear So and So

[ivorygorgon]

I am so thankful for Don and Mimi that Don is doing better. I want nothing more than for Don be home for Christmas. Is it too much to ask for him to feel like biking even a little sometime soon? Pretty please?????

[snapdragen]

I am fairly certain now that he will be home by Christmas, so long as no new hazards creep up. He's breathing on his own and ready to get on his feet..

Fantastic!!!

Dear Me,

This is not a test. Stop studying. Relax. It's a beautiful day. Enjoy it.

Hurray for good news!!

Dear Cosmos,
Enough already! I can't believe the number of people, dear friends and relatives, that have been spending some quality time in hospitals. Yes, a big thank you is due for the health care professionals that have been doing their utmost best to get everyone well, or at least ease their suffering.
Could we please have people home by Christmas, as healthy as they can be? Please?


Dear Self,
Dad's reaction to the Texas fires surrounding him is commendable (donate to charity instead of sending adults presents). Maybe in his later years he's finally learning compassion, just because he didn't show much after Katrina.
Self, get over it, Dad is requesting that in lieu of presents, give to charity - so it isn't "all about him."

Woohoo!!!

(and hugs to your aunt; no one should have to spend their birthday in a hospital!)

[OakLeaf]

Yay Mimi & Don! Great news about Don's progress. Not so much about your aunt.

[badgercat]

Mmm, popsicles! Go, Don, go!

If anyone is interested in reading another story on my friend Steve, a friend of his who works for the major daily newspaper in Tucson published this today. It's a beautiful tribute to a life well lived. I needed kleenex.

ETA: I had only seen the article online, but DBF just went out and bought the newspaper. The story on Steve was on the front page, above the fold. (!!)

[Catrin]

Yayyyyy Donald! I bet that popsicle is awesome! I hope your aunt recovers quickly.

Dear Specialist,

Thank you for getting it right! You disagreed with my PCP as to the actual problem causing all of my pain and odd symptoms and...I feel ever so much better. Thank you! Hopefully next month will be soon enough for the physical therapy, but my trainer is going to help me figure out at least how to work on the muscle group you want strengthened. The other stuff will have to wait a few weeks, but this is a beginning.

Dear Neck, please continue cooperating. Pretty please? Thank you.

My mom doesn't seem to be improving in the rehab facility, but she has been sick for a long time now. I've been waiting to say something about it until I had something positive to say She isn't, however, getting worse and that is something.
