Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 235 | Hello to All, I hope this post finds everyone doing well and/or better than before! I would like to ask a special favor. Tomorrow (2/13) is my husband John's birthday. He will be 54. I think it would be really nice if someone could take the time just to jot down a few encouraging words for him or just a simple wish for a "happy birthday". I would then in the evening (EST) print out any correspondence to him and present this as a "gift" if you will from all the fine folks here in this forum. I think this would really help to lift his spirits, since he is still having considerable pain in the neck area and side of face after his surgery. He's home now - and sleeps a great deal of the day away. I would like to make tomorrow as special as I can for him, and I would really appreciate it if you could send a cheery hello! Thank you.
P.S. He likes to be addressed as "Johnny"

Happy Birthday! I am one year older than you. What is it about this stuff that it hits us in our 50's? Things will get better for you soon. Hang in there. I know that Donnajean is taking good care of you. Have a special day.

Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 29 | Johnny,Happy Birthday to you. I hope you have many more. Things will look better tomorrow when you are a day older and you have another year to look foward to with the people who love you. Pretty soon the pain will pass and you can be thankful that your a year older and that you spent it with your caregiver that loves you enough to make your special day a little happier and brighter.
