Sudokuaholics Anonymous 9A

Thank you all for the special wishes for Judy during her chemo.
She had the PET scan and rang yesterday to say she is CANCER FREE. Has to go back in 6 months to check again. She is feeling so relieved and knows that your prayers have helped.

June....noticed your light on. How is the eye? Not keeping you awake I hope.

Hi Nola, eye still very sore.I had cream to put in last night and drops for daytime. Not aching at the moment though. About to feed the cat and then back to bed.

And great news about Judy. I hope it keeps that way for ever more1

Hope the eye clears up soon. Many thanks!

That's GREAT news, Nola! Judy is a real life Wonder Woman!

Heidi...did you manage to get a reasonable sleep?

No. The dogs were too excited about the men working on the new barn. They kept jumping on me to get me up to go and see what was happening.

You would have needed a good sleep to help your body begin to heal,too.
Glad that the barn is underway.

The men are gone for the day. It's a super windy day, which limits what they can do. Today they got the corner posts (18 foot tall 6"x6"s) in the ground, braced, and in concrete.

I'm going to try to get some sleep now. I just had to take another pain pill (hydrocodone) and am waiting for it to kick in.

Pleased to hear that Judy has the all clear, long may it last.

Heidi hope you get the sleep you need and that your pain is reduced tomorrow.

Morning all!
Judy, what fantastic news!! That is grounds for a party!

June, thinking of you! I hope the cream and drops start working to clear up the problem soon.

Heidi, I agree, shut the door. It's his office, he will get sick of it eventually, or his helper will.

Once again everybody in regard to Judy.I feel very luck that I stumbled into this sudoku site and got to know such lovely people.
You truly are a big part of my life.

I am about to log into our on-line lecture now.
Catch you later.Hope you enjoy your time whatever you are doing.

Nola, that is great news about Judy. Tell her that I am very happy for her and hope she keeps getting good reports.
Heidi, thank you for posting to let us know everything went well. Try to sleep and I will try to skype you this weekend.
have to leave in a few minutes and may not get back on tonight. Hope all is well with all my friends out in Sudokuland.

I have this desire to come into a lot of money so I can afford a trip down under to meet all of my friends in person. I can't afford it now and don't know if I ever will be able to but it is something I keep hoping for.

A ponderable: why do I only snort when reading funny things online and not in real life? Or do I snort in real life too and just not notice. Hmmm. The deep and meaningful thoughts of my day...

Wonderful news, GO READ EASY pg2

Nola, I can't tell you how pleased I am to read your post re Judy. What a great way to start a new page!

I was just going to say the same thing about p2 Gail! It's a D0-NOT-MISS piece of news. I don't know whether to laugh or cry! Stupid site making me care so much for people I have never met. My phone is flat, could you text our not-able-to-get-online friend for me? Thank you...

Took me a while but got the cryptic message! Will do so straight away.

Wasn't meant to be cryptic! Sorry!

not enough coffee, everything's cryptic!!!

ps D#3 goes for her learner permit this morning...please wish her (and me!) luck.

I wish your car good luck, Gail!

lol, good thinking Heidi.
Those drugs kicking in?

lol Gail, I can't seem to sit still for long enough to finish a cup of coffee this morning so I'm suffering from the same problem...

If I'm going to wish you luck am I wishing for her to get her permit or not to get her permit?

hmmm, that's a poser!
As I have said to her, if the other's can do it, no reason she can't. I do hope she gets it, I also hope I can cope with #4 being a learner for the next two years

Just had word back from Cyn, she sends hugs to all and hopes to get on later today.

Good luck with that Gail! Best wishes to Hannah! I'm sure she'll be fine.
Trying to teach 2 to drive at the same time was horrendous. I was so glad when they got their licences. I absolutely hate the feeling of being out of control when sitting next to a learner at the wheel.

We need those cars with the two sets of controls!
I tell ya, I don't know how those instructors do it day after day!!!

Nola, that's great news about Judy.

Heidi, I hope you get to rest so you can start the recuperation process.

I heard some awful news last night. Friends of mine have separated after 20+ years of marriage. I was so upset I felt really shocked and wanted to have a good cry. When I told Kevin he was just as shocked. They have had a couple of bad years - her mother died from breast cancer and then 18 months later her father died from heart failure. In between time the hubby got sick and started to lose significant amounts of weight. There was no real cause and he ended up seeing a psychologist. I never knew there were any problems in their marriage though. I just want to go and give them both a big hug.

I hated the loss of control once the kids were able to drive on their own and I was at home worrying if they would remember all that their father had taught them... scary times, yet we do have to let them grow don't we...I don't envy those of you now going through it ...but you will survive, with a few gray hairs becoming a lot....keep that color handy if you use it or flaunt the gray as I did as a badge of courage.... BTW...Greetings and salutations...and this time I can't blame lack of sleep for poor manners....Can I just claim being old???? I got 6 straight hours of restorative sleep and it felt so good,,, Still on the steroids, but at a decreasing rate which is a big help...the infection is waning and I seem to be getting better. I'm glad because I get to celebrate this day in remembering the greatest Mother's Day gift I have ever received...the birth of my wonderful son. Only regret I had was that he didn't wait a few more days to be born on my Mom's birthday, missed it by 3 days or hang on to be born on mine, missed that by 2 weeks....but he wanted and got His own day...so be it! Happy Birthday Michael!

Best News Nola.

Heidi, take care, rest, sleep, get better ♥

June, ouch, you take care too, hope your eye clears up.

Julie, my condolences on the passing of your MIL ♥

Another busy day for moi.
Take Mum home, grocery shop on my way home (get some groceries for mum as well), put groceries away, then zoom off to drop mum's groceries at her house on my way to having lunch at a friends place.

Mum's ACAT assessment went well. We were there for almost 5 hours (While we were there we saw the resident Doctor regarding mum's breathing problems. He examined her, sent her off to have xrays, ecg and blood tests.. The Doctor confirmed there was still fluid in the lungs, and has upped her fluid tabs from 1 to 3).
Back assessment - we saw Nurse, Physio ( she couldnt do anything because of her breathing probs - physio referred us to the Dr), and the Social Worker.
Lots of Questions asked, forms filled out.....
lots of waiting about....
We got the important boxes ticked (with mum's agreement) the Respite Care and the Care Facility.
Once we have the Assessment Number, we can apply to Care Facilities for Low Care. So when a room is available, Mum can say no I am not ready, and she will go back on the waiting list.
Meanwhile she will be eliable for more Home Help. Mum has requested that the Home Help comes from the Dutch Aged Care.

Catch you all later sometime..
Got to Rock and Roll
Get that Shop List written
We are leaving in about 20 mins..

Great news today...Nola so glad to here that the report on Judy was such a good one. Long may it continue.
Heidi, Glad the surgery was a little better than you had expected, and that the pain and remaining healing will soon just be a done deal. as for the carpet...put some opened bleach containers in some place in the office that won't affect your birds or other animals, have someone at least remove the padding under the carpet and send the bill to Gil. Something must be done to protect your health...and his...Mold is dangerous. Perhaps print out what mold can do to one's health if not treated, it might make him realize you aren't just nagging, or at least give him cause to ponder.
Interesting reading on p2 of easy...
Julie...condolences on the passing of your mil, and hopefully you will listen to all of the ladies that have said what I felt and feel...We are here for each other through thick and thin, good and bad times, as well as the silly, giddy dumb times...We are SA....Friends united in love and compassion who criss-cross the world while plying our gifts to and for each other... hankies always at the ready...don't need a hankie...then just sit and have a chinwag or two...served with plenty of food and drink...ahhh bliss....join us always, don't hold back...you are us! Peace.

Gail, those driving instructors only look old ... they're actually only in their 20's (tee hee).

Nola, good news re Judy. We will all continue to keep her in our thoughts.

Had my physical today and a few problems had cropped up since my last physical a year ago. I don't really want to talk about it yet, but have to go for some tests and wait for today's results ... keep your fingers crossed, please.

Here ya go, Theresa.
