One thing is for sure, there is lots of comforting to pass around here. I hope all improves with everyone.

remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

I'm glad that he's doing well now! My MIL said today the my FIL is acting like it's no big deal and that he's fine. That's really taking the stress off of me, because as she said, if he was having a hard time with this, she'd be a wreck, which would then make me a wreck! It really makes a difference on your stress level on how the "patient" is dealing with it all. So far I don't have to add my MIL to my "worry list" too! I can't even imagine going through everything you were, AbbaGimp (Awwwww....AbbaGimp! ) AND dealing with your dad's health issues!!

Following right along with the theme of things, I found out last night my FIL is now in the hospital. He went to give blood the other day, but they wouldn't let him. Seems his heart is skipping 8-10 beats at a time and so they're doing a cardiac catheterization tomorrow, Thursday!
My uncle keeps messing with her, he'll touch her one arm and then act like he didn't...she keeps having to try to yell at him. He's like that.
Any update? No news is hopefully good news???
I just dropped an e-mail to Joni to make sure that everything is OK. I was thinking about her today and feeling a little worried that she'd been absent all week. k
My FIL was pretty nonchalant about the whole thing. He really made it easy on us. He's got a great sense of humor as well. Infact, he said that it was so easy, that he'd take that along with his recent colonoscopy *together* any day vs. having to go to the dentist! LMBO I just can't even imagine the fear he must have of the dentist!
I've been quiet lately! Quite the feat for me....
I'm not sure of all the details at this point but my great uncle from Texas called me the other night to tell me that my great aunt had a series of strokes last week. She also has to have heart surgery.
