Thanks for the thread.

To your health with much love....LOL

Hi Folks (Nan's husband here) Thanks to the prayers of so many people like you, and the infinite mercy and grace of God, He has spared me once again. What you did is greatly appreciated and as I commented to Nancy, "The Lord wouldn't dare let me die with all the people who are praying for me..." Just think of the 'unanswered' prayers He would have had to contend with.

Update on Uncle John: (93 years old)Uncle is now home from the hospital (much to the delight of the hospital staff). They sent him home last Sunday. He misbehaved terribly while in the hospital and really gave them a hard time. His first expierience receiving an MRI left him with some feelings he had not experienced. He thought (called) it a casket. They left him in it for an hour(he claims) and finally removed him when he threatened to 'tear the thing apart'! He told them on several occasions, "I am going home, and you are not going to stop me!" They had an IV placed in his arm; an oxygen tube in his nose; and, when they installed a cathater,..that did the trick. They did not leave it in very long. A doctor walked by his door and Uncle told his wife, "You run and catch that man and tell him "I'm going home!" Of course, by the time she got to the hallway the doctor was out of sight so that gave him another excuse to complain. He told the staff, "I'm going home. I can't afford to stay in your damned expensive hotel..!" When the neurologist finally came to examine him, he told Aunt Kathleen, "At his age, I'm not going to try and do anything for him. I'll just let him go home.." (Success through perseverence.) Uncle is now at home. I talked with Aunt Kathleen this morning and he is doing pretty well. He won't use that damned walker. He moves it aside and goes for his cane. Uncle John is a 'classic'. He is a very basic man,.. very independent,.. and proud. He will be sorely missed when he does pass away, but when that happens, he will have done it HIS way. Thanks again, Jack.

[ofMagog]

Glad to hear you are off the streets.

[Pippin]

Thanks!

[SpookBrat]

Congratulations.

[Pippin]

Thank you, Spooky!

[SpookBrat]

Jack and Nan, it's so good to see you. God love you both. I've been worried and I've been praying.

[dutchess]

Jack - Enjoyed reading your post and glad to hear that you're on the road to recovery. Continued prayers being sent your way.

Your Uncle John sound like a hoot. Any chance you inherited a little of his "spunk"????? You have a wonderful wife who adores you so you better take that rehab seriously...otherwise a lot of angry freepers will be pounding on your door!

[Billie]

Good morning, All. Since today's thread is talking about Holiday Scheduling, etc. this one seemed fitting to start the thread. :)

[dutchess]

Morning finest hostesses. What a great idea for the holidays. Sigh...we're heading for Key West Sunday for Thanksgiving...which on the surface "ain't so bad" BUT....once again I'll be freep impaired. I guess my first task will be to check out the Key West Public Library...Now is that the sign of a freeper addict or what LOL!

[lodwick]

What a great report on your Uncle - from what Nan's told us, you're two peas in a pod. Try to follow orders, as best you can, and don't be a stranger here.

G*d bless and keep you and all yours.

Oh my God ...... chocolate ice cream before breakfast? How can I refuse? Thanks for the thoughts.
