Dear Olwyn Mary,

So nice to hear from my friends in rcty. I think I went in the hospital about the day Noreen arrived here, we missed each other. I really wanted to meet Don and Noreen.

Thank you for the kind words and thoughts.

Are things back to normal for you in New Orleans?

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

Hi Dennis,

Thanks so much for the update. I'm so sorry to hear about your fall. You can Gail and your daughter have been in my prayers.

Hang in there, Murielle

Dear Murielle,

Thanks for the thoughts. I truly believe that my friend,s thoughts and prayers pulled me through. My spinal cord at C3 was compressed 30%, they missed that at Mayo. Mayo is still the best diagnostic hospital in the world but, all take notice even the best miss some things. I never thought of it until my brother-in-law mentioned it. I also had many visits to Loyola University Hospital in the Chicago area. They are rated in the top 5 in neurology, I went there after going to the doctors in the Rockford area. I still need to get L5 fixed, I see the doc tomorrow. We will see.

Thanks so much.

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

Dennis,

You should know us better by now - no need to start out a message like this with an apology! I'm sorry to hear about your fall but glad they "caught" something else that needed fixing (well, I'm not glad that there was something that needed fixing but that it is now fixed - hopefully you get what I mean). Is there more surgery in your future for the L5?

I'm very happy to hear that Gail is in good spirits and that Tammy's cancer is in remission. Best wishes to all three of you. How far is Omaha from you? Those babies will be happy to have their mom home with them though it will probably be a bit of an adjustment for Tammy. I wish her the best of luck.

Healing thoughts coming your way, LauraJ

Dear Laura J,

Thanks so much for the very kind words. I do read all messages to Gail, she always gets a big smile.

Yes L5 is ruptured instead of bulging now, it is constant pain and will need more than an injection. I see the doc Thursday and will keep in touch.

Tammy is about 8 hours from us now, instead of 2 hours. We will surely miss them. She did say it will be an all day job when she comes to see us, it really tickled me to hear her thinking of coming to see us soon. Tammy has the motivation of ten Marines, she will be fine. She is a great Mother and I am so proud of her and John.

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

Oh Dennis, I have been wondering how you and Gail were doing, so it was very good to hear from you! I'm sorry to hear you've had some new trials to deal with but I'm happy to hear you are getting better.

Such great news about Tammy!!

Welcome back, Dennis. I am sorry to hear about your accident, but it sounds as though there was a silver lining to that cloud. We have missed you.

Higs, Katherine

Dear BB

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

Dear Katherine,

Always a joy to hear from you and yes, something bad did turn out good for once.

How are you and yours doing these days?

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

Kather>> I am sorry, I have been in the hospital for 3 weeks and home since

Welcome back Dennis, you have been missed.

That must have shaken you badly as well as being damaging. I do hope the pain eases for you but it is good news that a couple of problems have been solved for you and that Gail and Tammy are doing well.

I swear that somebody "up there" is looking after you. Do take care and much love to you both ((((Dennis and Gail))))

Bernadette

I am busy - even busier than last year. But I am enjoying it, still, and that is the important thing. Also, I am learning, which I love. I think that Keith is wishing that I was home, but he will survive this separation, and I'll be home several times during the year.

Higs, Katherine

Dennis, Are you able to knit at all? I just realized that you didn't mention knitting, and I wondered. Higs, Katherine

Well Katherine , Keith will learn HOW Wonderful you are , just when he misses you :>:>:>:>

mirjam

Yes I was knitting 3 hours after I woke up from surgery :)
