Good afternoon.  I went to church and went to two services and listened to two ministers.  Then I had lunch at Taco Bell.  After that I went to Nancy and Walter's to work with him with Aphasia software.  Last Wednesday, he did really good.  Today...not so good.  I think he was tired.  I couldn't get him to concentrate or slow down.  I think he likes to scroll and click and not pay attention to what he is scrolling and clicking on!  I will try another Sunday and if I don't see progress, I will tell Nancy.  They belong to Kiwanis and some of those people work with Walter, too. 

Then I got home and I am doing a load of laundry.  I am tired but don't want to take a nap.  I want to sleep good tonight. 

Hello all.  It's  been rainy here too.  I love the rain, and the anticipation of all the Fall colors dotting the landscapes, and blowing past my window, but today.......well, to me it is cold!  I can't seem to get warm.  I have layered clothing and my fuzzy socks (love my fuzzy socks)on, but my feet are still cold.  I think I'll have to go sit by the stove awhile.

Hello to Wordsculpter and Writegirl.  It's always nice to see new people coming in.  I don't post much, but enjoy reading what others are doing and thinking. 

Jane, that's too bad about John.  I pray he is just a slow healer, and things are better now.  I remember when Ron was in the hospital, lots of times in the hospital for surgeries and whatnot, he was already ready to tell them where his pain was.  "9!"  I know he did have a low pain threshold, but it also made them question his rating ability.   I guess only the one in pain can accurately judge their own pain.   Maybe Joy should give John a kick (sweetly of course) when she knows he is hurting more than he is saying.

Well, I shall soon have my house to myself again.....for however long it happens.  My sister will be moving on Friday.  We have both looked forward to this for about a month now.   I enjoyed being with her for awhile, but we realize we are so different, and though we love each other, we need our own space. 

I'm not sure how long I'll have mine.  My almost 18 year old grand daughter is expecting a baby in February, and is living with her dad who smokes in the house, and is making no move to smoke away from her.  I've hinted to her that she could stay here for awhile to get away from that.   And now she has developed worsening asthma, plus has a yucky cold.  She's stayed with me the last two nights, going home during the day.  We'll see.   I really wanted my house to myself, but more than that, I gave this to be God's house and He is the head of this house.  Whatever He wants is what I want.  I trust Him and He knows what I need and all about everything else. I know He loves Angel more than I ever could.  It blesses me no end to know that my Father is looking out for my interests, and I don't have to worry about anything else.

Hi, Etta Sue.  What is Aphasia software?

THIS JUST IN:

I just now received this email update from my daughter. You get it just as I did (minus the first line with the name of the hospital and her opinion of same!)

  Well we have finally been graced with a one minute - maybe - visit by the cardiologist.....after the pace maker tech came in to do an equipment check - diagnostic...cool machine....he was a great kid from the maker of the pace maker....redundant ...he did his check and left the room with his print out.....came back in and checked something else and left the room with his print out and his machine and said the doctor will be in after he reads the printouts.....we rolled our eyes.....because several other types of test results have not been discussed with the doctor what makes us feel he might take the time to read these......well, because this is an Outside guy who represents the manufacturer of the pace maker...etc..........anyway...bingo....in steps the doctor, not looking at me or our wonderful friends who were visiting......only at the patient and says "well I guess the tech told you what was going on so"........we stopped him there and said that the tech told us the doctor would go over it with us that he was prohibited.......Dr says "one of the leads......was loose".....and sparking......and poking......just like we guessed.....from the moment John was conscious after the surgery.......no one was listening..........but that is behind us.... "and we have to re connect it" the Dr was out just after saying just those few words....gone.....I had a question but by the time I turned around to ask it, the only person there was the tech.....so I asked how it was loose....what caused that......he said that it was not put in very well.....so...they disarmed the one lead and will have to re do the surgery .... but we don't know when.  NOW you have been updated.   Thank you for prayers.....because I was prevented from yelling at the doctor since we had company and he was gone in a flash.  I feel better now.
John feels better now....but his heart hurts....not sharp pain like when he was being poked...and shocked....but a dull pain....probably from the damage....bruised.....We will have to file a complaint and we will consider switching our insurance...... He will be there another night or two.....

Good grief Jane what an ordeal for John and Joy, too.

The potluck was great. I brought home over half of the lasagna There was plenty of food. I brought a plate of main dishes, a plate of salads, and a plate of desserts for Bill across the street

Raining here and I am loving it. We sure needed the rain. Am keeping the dogs inside.  I have to do some shopping tomorrow as it is the 1st and one of my checks will be in my account by the morning and I need a few things for the month.

I have been im'ing with Savannah, what fun that is.
