I'm beyond grateful

16 years ago

The last 13 days have been a blur, I don't remember much of it at all. Remember going to the ER and 6 days later being loaded in the ambulance.

Now after reading all the nice things you have said I'm embarassed but it feels like I have gained a new family, a whole bunch of sisters, daughters and cousins and it seems you all have a mother hen complex, meant in the nicest way.

Thanks for the prayers, good wishes cards and letters. They helped immeasurably.

Now after this, as annliese mentioned-chemo should be a walk in the park

    Welcome back and thanks for the words. Glad your spirits are on the way up. Family is what you make it and what you bring is stability , perseverance, devotion and great stories. You and Leone are the heart beat of Nebraska and a centering force here on this forum. How could we not throw good words your way.

    What Don said - glad you are feeling better - not perfect, but better, and improving (physically) as you go along.
    You are loved

    I'm glad you are feeling better and can check in. You are really missed.

    Thank you for writing us, George---you have made my whole day!
    Welcome home!!!!!!

    The first hymn we sang was 'Amazing Grace' at the nursing home today during our little church service----I was sitting next to one of my favorite ladies---she's Afican-American, wears brightly colored scarves in her hair, neon glitter over her eyebrows, and she sings like a Nightingale---her voice forgave the rest of us and just spiraled on its own sweet way. I tried to send some of her beauty your way to help brighten your day, also!

    I'm so glad you're home again! Things seem better, now.

    What a good morning. George, I am so glad that you are on the mend. We need you around here to keep us grounded and I appreciate that there is somebody else who remembers way back when.
    Now take good care of yourself and listen to Leone and your doctor. We love you.

    So gald you are back and on the mend. Give Leone lots of hugs and kisses, she has been a real trooper, too.

    I just wanted to chime in here with best wishes, and glads to see you here - and to tell you that my aunt has been taking the chemo treatments for non-Hodgkins lymphoma for several years... she's coping just fine, enjoying her life of retirement near her children. She will be 90 next year.

    Not sure I'm spelled it correctly, or that its the precise disgnosis you got, but do want to assure you that modern medicine can accomplish wonders these days.

    I am so glad you felt like posting. Like the others I have missed you. Take it easy, you have earned that. My best to both of you.

    The sun is shining, the sky is blue, the temperature is 58 degrees, and best of all, George, is that you're posting a message! You and Leone give each other hugs from all of us, please.

    Not very nice of me, Leone and Spook the cat send their thanks too. She loves her new mice.

    Such a wonderful way to end my Monday .... by hearing a dear friend's voice again!

  • 16 years ago

    It's GREAT to have you back!! I may have mentioned it before, but my father-in-law came from Nebraska. I have always pictured you as looking like him. He was a special person. It must be the water in Nebraska that makes wonderful men.

    I hadn't seen this. But I am glad I have now. It's so good to hear you. You sound good. Keep the good thoughts going!

  • 16 years ago

    George, I'm so glad I popped in here this morning to read that you're back and home and doing better. I think of you and with affection. Marda is right, you are part of the glue that holds this place together...and not just here, I know that.

    Keep up that positive attitude, it's always served you well in the past and it will again.

  • 16 years ago

    George, just checked in and was so happy to see that you are back.
    You were MISSED, buddy..
    I admit to being a mother hen. It's my job! :0)
