Hey All!!!

I'm here and i'm fine....

I had a caring "search party" lookin' for me, so thought i'd post and say hello!

I am fine & have just been taking some time off the computer a bit, to spend time with Val.

We discovered that we were both spending precious moments, both online, when we could have been spending it with one another, without any distractions.

So, I took a little break from my support groups, and was needed elsewhere. Just life...

I personally, am feeling pretty good. I've been walking more, because I'm using my rolling walker with the seat, and getting more exercise. My breathing has been good.

My new surgery date is Dec 10th, so only a month to go on that.

Hope you are all good, and that this cold weather we are getting, is not hitting to many of you, and making ya feel lousy!!

We have snow, but only a dusting, and it is supposed to be in the 50's, by the weekend! For December, In NY State, I'll take it!!!

Hugs and love to all,

Boo

Hi Boo Glad the search patry found you. You and Val are compelety right. Unfortunely so much time is spent texting, typing, and on the phone that a lot of people are realizing that are missing the closness. No one or nothing can replace that one on one, face to face contact with the one most important to you. MY Buddy, Millie and I were together for 25 years, I moved to
fl and she stayed north. Tried to get her here for health reasons but she would not come. Her Copd finally took her home. It has been 20 years and I still miss her. Enjoy every Moment with VAl. Before you know it Dec. will be here and you will be on your way to a even better recovery. the snow is nice I am from North but it does play havock with the lungs so be careful.
Not necessary to reply to thisyou and Val enjoy every moment of every day together.
Hugs two both

Hi Boo, I am glad you are ok, and it is perfectly understandable to take time off and be with the one you love.
Next time my sister, warn us ahead of time , and we will not send out a search party for a few days...lol
We all need a break from this computer at times, and if there is no one around to share the time with, just enjoy nature, a walk, a book,
Have a blessed day
Brenda

Hi Boo! Good luck with your surgery.

Happy to know that you are fine, and that you are spending special time with "real life" people. Take good care of yourself and pop by and visit when you feel like it.

Hi Boo!! Glad to hear you're fine and just having a good time enjoying real life experiences with someone you can reach out and touch! We all need those connections. We got more snow here in Western PA than it sounds like they got up in New York. Don't mind snow - it's kind of pretty in the country where I live. What worries me more are the power outages! You go enjoy yourself in real life some more - we'll all still be here when you get back. Here's wishing you the very best for your upcoming surgery and certainly will be awaiting word on how that works out - Ruthie (aka dollaraudit)

Hi Boo, good to hear from you. Keep us posted on the surgery.

deleted_user 11/12/2013

Boo, Nice to see your smiling face. Of course the party was looking for you, your the life of it. But it is so nice to see you celebrating it with Val, I know you both benefit from that. Please take care, thanks for checking in, we know your safe, and we wish you well for your pending surgery. Please take care, Bill

Boo, So glad you are ok, and extra glad that you and Val got some time together. It is so important in a relationship to share that time with each other. (Not that I know anymore, have not been in a relationship since 2003, except with my dog Ruffie... LOL)

Please keep in touch and you will be in my prayers for your upcoming surgery!! Hugs, Carol

Great to hear from you. We were concerned as we knew you had a bit on your plate. Taking a break is often needed - glad you took your own advice. Stuff coming up for you in the next few weeks; and it sounds like you did what you needed to do to prepare emotionally, and physically. Do take care
