"saveliberty" is Hospitalized (Update from saveliberty at #1568)
via saveliberty | Sunday 23 August, 2009 | FOXFANVOX

Posted on 08/22/2009 10:29:53 PM PDT by FOXFANVOX

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!

“The good news is that I am learning to find where my limits are these days.”

It is good to hear that you are exercising independence. If we don’t watch it, soon Obama will be set limits for us.

;)

Hope you’re feeling much better. Prayers up for you.

If you like history any book by David McCulloch is worth a read. I highly recommend “The Great Bridge” about the building of the Brooklyn Bridge. It is one of the most fascinating books I have ever read.

“John Adams” of course is also a great read. “Truman” also.

Heck, anything D. McCulloch writes is well worth reading.

LOL

:) Great minds think alike, Chuck54. Thank you, I loved David McCullough’s biography of John Adams.

I had also read his biography of Teddy Roosevelt, although I think that the more interesting story would have been the father.

I certainly hope you continue to have better and better days.

The audiobooks sound like a good idea. I can recommend “The Tale of Hilltop Farm” by Susan Wittig Albert on audio or in book form. It’s the first mystery in the series starring Miss Beatrix Potter as amateur sleuth. Talking animals, the English countryside, rural village life. It’s available on audio, that I know.

I read the “Left Behind” series this spring. All 12 books, amazingly. And I enjoyed it a lot and read the books in order so as to keep the story straight.

Christian fiction, if you haven’t heard of them. I recommend them. I see they’ve made a movie or two (or three or four, I’m not certain) on this series, it was running a couple of days ago on one of the Christian networks.

Some friends of mine are into audio books, I’ll ask them if they have any they’d especially recommend.

My favorite “books on tape” is the Lewis and Clark book “Undaunted Courage”
by Stephen E. Ambrose. We used to listen to it in the car on long trips with Clint Jr, back when he was widdle.

Totally not challenging or upsetting, just very interesting if you’re a history buff.

So sorry to hear you had a rough patch, SL. I'm not an audiobook type person (like MaggieCarta above, I prefer to listen to music, and prefer to feel book pages in my hand) but strangely enough I was just looking around for an mp3 or cd audiobook myself last night.

I am going to be doing a road trip here very shortly from AZ back to TX, with lotsa long stretches of desert highway & I thought Willa Cather's Death Comes to the Archbishop, a classic set in NM (on Time Mag's 100 All-time Best Eng. language Novels) which I'd read years ago & thought might be nice to listen to while traipsing through that landscape.

Alas, I can't find it in audio format anywhere, but Cather's My Antonia & O Pioneers are available evidently.They won't work for me (set in Nebraska) but maybe it might be fun for you to take a 'mind vacation' out that way while you recuperate.

I know that my favorite novels have always been the ones that transport me to somewhere else. I think it might be interesting to find out if listening to a novel is as visually evocative in the 'eyes' of the imagination as reading usually is (for me, reading can be quite vivid in my mind's eye), as I suspect the words are filtered through a different part of the brain. In fact, for that very reason I'm now going to see today if I can track down Gabriela Garcia-Marquez's "A Hundred Years of Solitude" in mp3 for my road trip - that novel's set a bit further south, but it's also probably the most visually evocative book I've ever read & I'm curious to see if listening to it instead will have the same transporting effect.

You might run through that Time list linked above. Yes it's Time, but there really are some great ones on their top 100.

Hope you feel better & I hope your folks are feeling better about the prospect of your surgery.

“If you folks could recommend reading that won’t be challenging or upsetting, that would be great.”

My son is on a submarine in the Persian Gulf right now and the following from one of his e-mails might give you some ideas:

“...I have occupied my free time watching an HBO miniseries called John Adams. It is very good. If you do not know a whole lot about John Adams or some of the debates that took place in America around the time of the Revolution, it is a series worth watching. It is very well done. I watched a documentary on Ayn Rand the other night. I always liked Atlas Shrugged, but I did not know it was (at least in 1992) the second most influential book in America next to the Bible. If you read it and love conservative principles and capitalism, you will enjoy it and understand her philosophy easily. I also have been reading a book by Joe Scarborough. His and Mark Levins book have really solidified my political positions on a number of issues. Regardless of your political positions, they are worth reading just to understand conservatism (especially The Last Best Hope).”

I don't know which audiobooks to recommend....I like classics like Jane Austen or the Brontes...but here is a website that has audiobooks and I get lots of muic from them and find them easy to use, affordable and safe...though Russian! LOL!

GoMusicNow.com

The last tab is "Audiobooks" and you pay in advance in $10 increments. My $10 has lasted several years, they are so cheap for music! They even GAVE me $10 once. Very nice site!
