Dear So and So

[OakLeaf]

Dear doctors,

NOW is the time to have an honest conversation with my dad? You couldn't have done that BEFORE he had three surgeries (never mind the fourth one that's scheduled, only indirectly related, and this one probably really should happen)?



Catrin - good news about your neck, not so much about your mom. Hope she's hanging in there.

[Owlie]

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.

Dear company--
I am impressed that you found the last pair of shorts in my size and are sending them. Could you see fit to give me the tracking information this time?

Dear UPS driver--
I assume you're new or something, because why else wouldn't you take the package to the office like normal?

[indysteel]

((((Oak)))) and ((((Catrin)))). I'm sorry that your parents are struggling.

Dear Oakleaf, are you related to me?

Dear Catrin, I have been reading all your posts, so sorry about your mom.

D is back on the general ward, (out of ICU) . He feels pretty crummy because he's been coughing all night (normal) so he didn't sleep so good. This, too shall pass.

Hugs to all who need them. It's been a rough go for so many TE'ers lately; wishing you all peace.

[Crankin]

Catrin, you are so lucky you found a decent doctor for your neck!
I am sorry about your mom.

Mimi, it sounds like things are looking up. You must be so relieved. Go do something for yourself.

Catrin, sorry to hear about your mom, You are not alone. When I read your post it made a sad feeling in my belly. I have been thru the rehab. scene with my mom.

[Catrin]

Thanks, I called her today. They finally let her out of isolation at the rehab place, so hopefully that is a good sign. She does sound MUCH better, even though she won't admit it She hates everything which actually IS a good sign. It was strange when she liked everything, like, where is our REAL mom?

Sounds like DBF's grandfather. He had hip surgery earlier this year. They knew he was doing better because he was giving the nurses hell and complaining.

Catrin, if she is on certain medications they can make her seem like Jekyll and Hyde. When my mom was on morphine she never knew who I was, and hated everything. I pray that I don't have to go thru that.

Dear friend--
As much as I enjoy discussing politics with you, that doesn't have to be the entirety of the conversation.

Dear other friends--
I am.not.interested in your religion for any reason other than an academic one. Stop telling me about it.

Dear Self,

just because it is the holiday season does not mean you need to sample all the holiday beers, practice some self control already

Dear retail gods:
Dark red cami with no shelf bra. This should not be that hard!

[Becky]

I never find camis without shelf bras, so I just cut the bras out with a sharp pair of sewing scissors.
