Right now, Friday a.m., there's nothing to report. Perhaps boring is a good thing? I think I told you all that the staples came out yesterday - good feeling and it didn't hurt. They say that I can even wash my hair so that's a good thing. However, I have to have baby shampoo so I am dependent on Clif to get that - cross your fingers. I am also supposed to take one baby aspirin per day and Clif is adamant about calling my personal internist before we start this - twiddling my thumbs here - sigh!
Had a great breakfast - more of those delish cinnamon rolls from New Braunfels - thanks, NB!
Also a small bowl of Raisin Bran - with just a very little milk, they stay crispy and I like that. Now, thinking on to lunch - there is food here - lots of food. So nice that all you good friends are watching over me!
Guess I have nothing more to say - perhaps I will start writing (making up) stories - that will be good for my creative juices! Right now, I just know that you are all interested in hearing from me so I'm going to try to keep pace and be reassuring :)

Gail,
ReplyDeleteGood morning, I am glad your creative juices are flowing! Keep up the good work. I enjoy reading your daily blog. We miss you and hope to see you soon. Linda Blankenship
Gail, your right, I want to see a little post from you often! I am glad that you are having a little quiet time amidst all the company and surgery. Even the most gregarious of us can only sustain that for so long. How is the kindle reading?? xo, Angela
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're feeling better, but your obsessive interest in your next meal is a huge concern-----shall I send Spanx??? I also like to write using ALL CAPS and italics, but have been told that it means I'm shouting at people through the computer. Too bad---what is....IS. Too bad your computer will not print tiny, daisy-looking flowers so that you can dot your i's successfully with those flowers. Amazing the impression that made with me-----a very peculiar high school memory to be sure. (And I know that you still sign your name in that fashion.) Heal fast.....

Gail,
ReplyDeleteI think your interest in the next snack/meal is perfectly normal. It must be a familial thing. You're fortunate Clif is such a careful caregiver. I wish I were in Houston to bring you the shampoo or anything else (especially if it were tasty.)

Hi Gail,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to check in and say Howdy! I've been on vacation for a week and just got back. Could not check in on you while gone so I'm glad to hear that you are doing well and getting some rest.
Did YOU really write that you had nothing more to say!?!?

How do you get this to not say "Anonymous said"?
Hi, Gail,
ReplyDeleteStill thinking about you and checking in on your blog here and there to see how you are. Sounds like incredible progress to me -- from brain surgery to raisin bran in just over a week! Keep up the good work.

Thanks, all - I'm doing great and at this point, there isn't much to concentrate on except where my next meal is coming from :) So far, they have all been super - thanks for going to the effort to feed me and mine. We all appreciate it! I'll let you know when there is actual news to report - right now, it's just the waiting game!
ReplyDeletehey gail- glad to hear you are feeling better. hope to see you soon.
ReplyDeletelove, mary ann (your sister in law)
Hi gbg,
ReplyDeleteAre you up for a mid-day visit this week sometime? Would love to see you and give you a real hug.
xxoo,
Shannan
Love hearing from you all - if you really want to visit, please give me a call first - at this point, I'm still playing it by ear!

Gail, Have been following everything on this blog since Ann told me you last week. I tried to sign up for a meal, but it is all taken - how about a breakfast??? I can do that quite easily! Nothing to crispy Raisin Bran! You sound great and I love reading & catching up with all your family. Told Katey that Braden was in Seattle. She lives in Montana and one of her best friends is in Seattle. She tries to go as often as she can - get away to the big city. I am a great chauffeur, maid, anything. Just let me know what I can do to help! Prayers and good thoughts, MAlla
ReplyDeleteGail.I was so surprised to hear about your recent discovery. I have been thinking about you and have asked about you a lot. Saw Nancy Beck at McQueeny and she shared this blog with me
ReplyDeleteI was so glad. I have been saying prayers for you and your family. I know you will beat this thing..Love- Dorothy Bean
