Place: PLANO Comments: Wow guys. Sorry to hear of our SOC family going through all this, Prayers for all of you . Sandy, I can relate to your and Don's busy schedule and sleepless nights. It was one year ago the paramedics arrived at our apt. at 4:30 in the morning and rushed Sarah to the emergency room at UTSouthwestern. I was running on pure adrenalin for 48 hours. Thanks to our son Brian, I was able to leave the hospital and get 4 hours sleep. looking forward for good healtth for all and see you at the next mini.
Place: Overland Park, KS Comments: Hi, everyone! So sorry to hear about all of the physical issues that classmates have been facing - but so grateful for good reports that are posted. Keep the good reports coming! ...and if you are well now - STAY WELL, PLEASE! On a relatively minor note - I posted a video of a JD friend whom I met in Aspen last year performing a song that he wrote - "Timberline Five". Please listen to it (and respond to it if you like it) if you have a chance. (If you don't like it, though, please don't say that. Trying to promote "unsolicited" 😉 positive vibes only.) Thanks! Talk with everyone later. 💕
Place: Richardson Comments: Don - We actually have gone to El Fenix to eat numerous times after the Mini. Our Minis are always from 2 to 6 pm. About 5:45 I start going around to everyone asking if they want to join us to eat afterwards. At 6:30pm on a Sat night in the Dallas Richardson area it's hard to get a table for 10, 12 and sometimes 18 or 20! But EF has alwys been able to accommodate us. Sometimes we've gone to Mena's Mexican across the street from the hotel. Anyway, we almost always go out to eat after the Mini because we are all starved! Thanks Lynell. Everyone was surprised, especially me & Don. But we're picking ourselves up, dusting off and going forward.
Place: Dallas SOC ‘63 Comments: Sandy, I’ve never been as shocked as I was today when I called to bug you about an unrelated topic. Don is the most fit person I know, so this heart stuff was a real surprise. I’m so sorry about y’all’s ordeal(s) and pray all is well with you and your classmates who are dealing with so much right now. Take care and rest up.
Place: LV, TX Comments: Sandy - Glad to hear the R&R continues and that Paul's mention of El Fenix got a stir out of Don. Now, there's a good sign of recovery. And, you mentioned something about a mini in the near future. Assuming our wounds are healed enough to attend one, including Don's, could that possibly become, like an El Fenix mini? ![[idea]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/idea.gif "Idea - :idea:") Just sayin ... Randy - Also, glad to hear that your diagnosis came back with something manageable & that can hopefully be tamed in short order. Jim - Glad you got in to see your Dr when you did & got those polyps Exorcised, or however they got rid of them - glad they're gone!
Place: Richardson Comments: James, I hated to hear about your health scare but glad it sounds like you are taking care of it and so far so good. Well SOCites, it seems like we are all in the same boat and we're determined to keep paddling to reach the shore. SOCites are tough and we never give up! As the old saying goes, "Get knocked down 3 times, get up four. Get knocked down 5 times, get up six." and so on. This is why I love our little GB here. We can tell our friends what's going on without having to post it on FB. I have some good and very encouraging news. Today, Sunday, Don said he feels pretty good! He's not dizzy at all and he's moving around very well. I think he's finally got all those drugs out of his system and getting his system back in order. He still has a little bit of Trigeminal pain while eating but it's minor, so we'll keep working on that with the meds. Thank you for your support and prayers as we appreciate both. Love to all, and, God Bless the class of '66. ![[love]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/love.gif "Love - :love:")
Place: Carthage, TX Comments: Here’s hoping all are on the mend. I have had some issues with polyps in my esophagus and where the stomach meets. Regular gastric Dr found a large benign polyp and she sent me to a Dr with higher expertise/equipment. Went yesterday (Fri) to have the polyp removed. Excused and put clips to stop bleeding. Back in 8 weeks to check clips etc. all in all we were Blessed.
Place: Oak Cliff Comments: Dear Friends, Here's a brief note about positive health news for me: after all the scans and bloodwork for my shortness of breath and coughing, the pathologist's report came in. We knew there was no cancer nor pulmonary embolisms, but the pathology report reveals a manageable type of lung disease often responsive to medication and (temporarily, I hope) oxygen therapy. The last two weeks have been a long haul, but this proud Golden Bear will be seeing y'all. Thanks for the kind wishes and notes and prayers. Randy
Place: Edmond OK Comments: Prayer list is getting really long but that is one of the things we are here for. Ada Ann and Don....let’s see 100% soon! And Randy and ....one thing I will say...Golden Bears are no wimps. 💪
Place: Richardson Comments: Paul - You are so right! El Fenix is Don's & my go-to place to eat. It's always good, fast & hot. Don has already started thinking about El Fenix and can't wait until he's able to go there for dinner! ![[smile]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif "Smile - :)") Ada Ann - I'm so sad to learn you were back in the hospital for a week. I hope you & the doc got it under control so you won't have to go back. I will continue to include you, Paul, Randy & Martha in my prayers. Yes, I got to finally bring Don home Wed afternoon. We are laying low and taking it easy as his body has to recover from the awful trauma it went thru for 5 days & nights with the Trigeminal Nerve, and having had heart surgery 2 weeks earlier, it has been taxing. But, today was a good day as there was some improvement in his stability & well being. I think it's a great sign! Don wanted me to thank all of you for your prayers and your concern. We both greatly appreciate it. Next week is filled with follow-up Dr. appointments (3), hopefully they will have encouraging news for us. Goodnight my friends, and may God Bless and keep us all safe for another Mini.
Place: Edmond OK Comments: If you are sad Don’t get no Kleenex Just grab an Enchilada At El Fenix............now THAT is Happy Time
Place: Edmond OK Comments: Ditto
Place: LV, TX Comments: H a p p y B i r t h d a y wishes go out to Eileen Sandefer & Bovie Browning today, Feb. 23!
Place: LV, TX Comments: I'm also getting caught up from a few days ago. Sandy - Sure glad the two of you are back home, caught up on your rest and hope Don is recovering well. Randy - Sorry to hear you're having pulmonary issues, and it didn't sound like they had it diagnosed from your previous post. Hopefully, they do by now and it will be brought under control soon. Ada - So, you're an Afib'er, too? Found out about mine a few yrs ago after surgery. Tried to shock it back, but wouldn't stay, so meds & bi-annual check-ups now. Otherwise, I can't feel it. Hope you have it & bleeding ulcers under control - and no more hospital trips for a while. Just FYI - I'm may be missing some info or behind the times on issues affecting our class, if the info is posted on FB. That's because I don't have an account setup on FB. Someone recently assumed I knew about another classmate's medical condition, based upon FB updates, but I have to rely on info that's re-posted on the g/b - thanks.
Place: Kerrville Comments: Have been off of guestbook for awhile so it is going to take some time to get caught up. Sandy - so sorry to hear about Don. I trust that, with prayers he is doing much better. Everyone else needs to stay well! Do not skip your checkups etc. |
