Hi All,
I just received an e-mail from "saveliberty" advising me she has been hospitalized. The cause as she wrote was:
"I have a significant, but benign tumor near my ear that is pushing against a nerve (which hemorrhaged). It sounds bad but I have excellent care."
It certainly does sound serious to me, even though saveliberty said she was being well cared for. She did want me to let her FRiends here know of her condition. When I get further info, I will post it.
In the mean time, if you could add saveliberty to your prayers, I know she would be comforted by that.
saveliberty is often the Threadmistress, and I am but a poster. So, if you all could perhaps place saveliberty's situation in the proper locations, I would be very grateful. [Or Moderators, if you are reading this.]
Get well soon, saveliberty!
Have some ice cream for me, SL! Any flavor you like.
PS: If needed, I can give you a lot of advice on weight gain ;-)))
Thank you, prairiebreeze!
LOL
I have a lot of experience with weight gain, too, MaggieCarta! I am working on it.
keeping you in my prayers for strength and healing
Everytime I see him on FNC, I think of Tony Snow. ((sigh))
Fatten up, eh? Start eating a bunch of cereal! I swear, I got on a Honey Nut Cheerios kick and gained almost 10 pounds! I felt like an addict! But hey, I'll bet my cholesteral was low!! LOL
Hope you have a nice, boring, uneventful day!
Thank you, Sammie42!
:) Thank you, CAluvyadubya!
Piano sounds like a great way to stretch and stengthen and gain mobiility in your fingers.
You are an inspiration in your efforts to be well, SL.
God bless your every effort to good results. Keeping you in prayer.
Wish I needed to gain a few pounds instead of the other way around! :) I’m on a medication which causes weight gain. If I were in that position tho I would have fried chicken-—haven’t eaten it in years—with rice and chicken gravy!!!!! I’d add some acorn squash with maple syrup for the beta carotene and healthy vitamins!
From what Greta said, I think Griff was on the night before too, so be sure to watch Greta tonight. It was a terrific plug for the tea party group and not at all rushed. Wonderful!
Didn’t get to answer yesterday—went to see The Hurt Locker about the I.E.D. demolition teams. Incredible film but only limited distribution. Found it on www.rottentomatoes.com—just enter the movie title, your zip code, and up comes local theaters! Stunning, poignant film, especially the end.
Hey Fox, miss ya madly. I have sl in my prayers.
Man, eat ice cream, stuff yourself with calories, my kind of therapy. What’s your doctor’s name, anyway.
Think of you often, especially when they show those Black Panther types intimidating voters in Philadelphia. My thought...they haven't seen intimidation until they've seen AliVeritas swinging her Kung Fu baseball bat trying to clear out the Liberals hanging around NYC and Long Island. [I regret to say, I think you missed a few!] 8)
Still trying to do my little bit by calling and writing some of our wayward politicians. But, a pen is my only weapon at the moment.
Hope all is well with you and family. Prayers up as always.
Thank you, LucyJo!
I ate well yesterday and that seemed to help my right hand a bit too.
:) I love fried chicken, GoldwaterChick! I haven’t had it in I can’t even say how long, because I can’t recall. Thank you - I will try that (LOL although I did well in the food department yesterday).
I missed Griff, which is always sad, but hopefully he will be on again tonight or tomorrow.
LOL
Thank you, AliVeritas!
Wait, do you mean that you ate a bit of your right hand? No wonder it is numb. Brings to mind so many different thoughts, such as: "Don't bite the hand that feeds you."

Griff will be on Greta again tonight, save. She asked him to go inside the Tea Party bus to see what it looks like, and he said he would.
At a retreat, I told my two (much younger!) roomates that when I knew I had a short time to live, I would have my favorite meal—real fried chicken with rice and gravy.
That evening as I joined them in line for dinner, they said they had bad news—fried chicken was on the menu! We all had a big laugh over that! And have many times since. (That was about 3 or 4 years ago.)
We’re all praying for successful surgery and a quick recovery, save. My friend’s surgery was over 17 years ago so you know much has been learned and refined since then!
I forgot one thing for your fingers. At our Silver Sneakers class our trainer instructed us to put one hand palm down on our thigh, fingers spread out. Starting with the little finger, just lift it gently up as far as you can and the place it down. Follow with all your fingers, including thumb; repeat with the other hand. It’s amazing how much this loosens up the hand and eases arthritis! Just be sure to keep it on your thigh (I’m not sure why), but it works!
I know why, G-Chick. I was in a seniors' class where we were doing this same exercise and it seems [by mistake, of course] I had placed my hand not on my thigh, but that of the cute senior lady to my right. Well, she questioned that I had done it by mistake and proceeded to bend my fingers in a direction they were not designed for!
Okay, I am just funning with you, but maybe that is why! 8)
I really do like the notion of using fried chicken. It could be considered a WD-40 [oil] for the innards.
