Glad: That has to be such a relief for you. Good to hear that the swelling and fluid are diminished.

It feels like the swelling and fluid retention in my chest and under my arms is finally starting to go down. It is such an uncomfortable feeling to have this extra fluid, just stuck, not going anywhere. Seven weeks since surgery it is about time.

Must wear my NYPD shirt tomorrow.

Even the strongest person can be watching too much 9/11 news and come away devastated and depressed.

Be careful, be stronger than that, turn off the T.V. after an hour.

Yes NeedHelp is taking some time off from the Forum. She told me she checks her messages occasionally. I was away for a few days otherwise I would have responded earlier. Need we hope and pray you are ok.

Heartbreaking story of high school football team; many members killed in a tragic bus crash 50 years ago tomorrow.

And of course the tragedy of 20 years ago, a day that changed the world and we will never forget.

I remember EB telling us that but with Covid explosion and Ida in her area, so many things could have happened.

Wishing you and yours well NHWM if you are reading.😊😊

I understand if NWWM wanted to stay away for a while, I am just afraid she might have real problems because of the hurricane or with her daughter.
Let's hope she is just taking some time for herself and that her and all her family are fine !

Yes I had missed NHWM. But I get it. Having to deal with Hurricane Ida must be so very awful (& maybe bring back trauma too). I hope she is well 🤗

Sometimes we need to have a look around & pull back from the things not helping us, or not helping is as they once were. It's OK to move forward. I feel I am moving turtle speed at present - but at least not backwards 🐢🐢🐢

Doing more of what soothes & supports us is good.

Anche and Glad: Someone said NeedHelpWithMom was taking a break from the forum, I believe for "some personal things." I think it was Earlybird who said that, right Early?

Me too. Course now she has the after affects of hurricane Ida. NO is still a mess.

CWillie, I miss the Sears catalog and Penney’s. Easy to order, easy to do return. I loved looking at everything. Better than sitting at a computer.

Went for surgery follow up. Have to go on 9/15 for my fifth surgery. Need a replacement pin and some screws to further stabilize my ankle. Will be at least 8 weeks before I can be weight bearing. Tired of using a scooter for everything.

I miss the Sears catalogue. I miss being able to see what styles and colours are new this year. I miss being able to place an order without having to pay almost double in shipping charges, and I miss how easy it was to make returns if things were not what I expected. I need new clothes, and I don't want to have to drive to the city to go to Walmart to shop their low quality crap, and I don't want to hit the mall either. First world problem (sigh)

Mom, niece and I just saw a beautiful double rainbow. I never seen such beauty in the sky. Wonder if it means anything. Cousin in Arizona saw something similar at the same time.

Gershun: I am so sorry for the loss of your cat, Daniel. Our fur babies are our kids and it's painful to lose them.🧡

Praying for NeedHelpWithMom that she safe from Hurricane Ida.

Gershun, I don't think we ever get over the loss of pets.   I still wander back over the decades and can relive the times when my cats would jump up on my lap, begin kneeding and purring.   

Occasionally when I'm working upstairs I'll come across a ball of yarn or fabric where the cats were napping. It's very emotional.

Do you have any other cats or pets?

Thank-you Garden Artist. I miss Daniel so much.

I don't have any special way of contacting NHWM Garden. I just sent her a message on her private wall. She did give me a like so I know she reads them.
Just keep praying for her. I'm sure the Lord will look after her.

Gershun, I am worried for NHWM and her daughter who was hospitalized in NO.  I would appreciate any contact you can make with her to let her know.   Thanks so much!

I don't read this thread regularly, so I wasn't aware of your cat's death.   I'm so sorry to learn about this; I've lost cats and our family has also lost pets throughout our lifetimes, and I know how devastating it can be.   I wish there were some way we could communicate verbally with our pets to let them know how much they mean to us and how much pleasure they bring to our lives.

I know that they respond different to my own "meow" sounds, but I've also seen that different cats respond differently.  My neighbor's cat, who roams my yard, often sits at my front porch gazing at the door, or sits in the back yard gazing at the dining room window.   But when I try to "talk cat" she listens for a while, then walks away.  I guess I'm not very skilled at cat talk.

On my mind…..caregivers and LO’ s on here, current events here and abroad, acquaintances with Covid, the passing of a friend’s mother due to Covid, on and on it goes. I pray for all that God will comfort, heal and guide each according to His will and in His time. His will be done.

NHWM sent me a private message the other day giving her condolences about my cat dying. I think she is reading her private messages so definitely send her one if you are worried for her.

For anyone in direct contact with NHWM, could you please tell her I'm concerned as well for her safety and that of her family?   Does anyone know if her daughter has been released from the hospital?

Prayers and traveling mercies for NHWM, and all the people in the path of the storm. Evacuations are not like a vacation, and are full of the unknown.

Prayers for the families of the 14 U.S. military personnel, who lost their lives in Afghanistan. Very young, in their early 20's. Someone's son or daughter.

Thank you Llama. DS seems to be OK. He had a mildly sore throat (and mistakenly thought this was just a summer allergy), then a runny nose around day 3, followed by episodes of loss of taste and smell around day 5. He is now just very tired. I hope he doesn't get "Long Covid". Apparently these types of initial symptoms are now presenting amongst the younger generation with the Delta variant. No cough, no fever, no headache.
