Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 531 | Well Jim I made it home. Yay it got a little slippery out there especially with bald tires..yikes..My parents' car they are putting winter tires on this week good thing...Not that they don't want to but appointments were only available into next week too many people waiting till the last moment to get them put on...Guilty of that one too...
I was very happy and relieved I only got flipped the bird once so I guess it wasn't that bad a day...Today it is raining out ...wow..it is going to be slick tonight. I am so glad that I don't have to go anywhere hubby will drive ha ha...
Like I said just something else to ponder on picture some old woman with no teeth driving at 40km in a 60 (it is slick) and singing at the top of her game cause no radio... Merry Christmas to all and to all safe trips!!!

Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 179 | [quote=EzJim] I saw the Dr this morning for Pittsburgh. There is an anneurysm in my stomache on the aorta again. Good old 1 in a million Jim. Dang it. It is 5.5 mm and that is the operate zone. He told me about all of the dangers, like loss of kidney functions, possibilty of dying on the table and other variables. He wants to meet with my immediate family to let them know how serious the surgery is . I have no idea if they remember how it was 9 yrs and a few months ago. I forgot myself until he started talking to me.. I have to find something to make me fight like the last 3 big surgeries I had. But I am here still so I sure will be using both barrels to fight. He will do the surgery after the holidays. If it was just a little bigger, it would be done next week on a squeeze ion surgery. Well, now you know what's going on like I do. I wish I had someone around here to sit and talk with me. Have a good day or evening all. [/quote] Jim, if I could be there, I would sit with you and hold your hand and talk til the wee hours of the morning. But...since that is not possible, we have email... so keep 'em comin'!!! You have been there for me so much this past year with my Dad. The "something you need to keep fighting" is the knowing that you have helped so many others with your support, advice, and gift of laughter. This OCF family needs you around to keep it going. SO FIGHT!!! 
Love ya!
