Hi hermits- I too had my surgery a year ago today. I will say I feel fortunate a year later to be alive, to be able to work, and take care of myself still. I am around 90-95% back and think that is where it may remain. My body is different, my energy still get sapped sometimes, but overall, I feel pretty lucky to have come through things as well as I have. I have learned a lot about myself going through this journey. I still try to take one day at a time and don't over think or over plan anything.

CC and I share this anniversary together (and we also PM about this too). May today be peaceful for you CC and for everyone else fighting the battle here.

Teka

What a year, hoping you also have an enjoyable Thanksgiving!

The 1st year is a pisser!

Jazzy & CC! Extraordinary! Blessings for both of you. What a cutie-pie kitten for friday, i would put that one in my robe pocket, all day! I was very sad yesterday to find out about Veggy, even tho i did not know her, i saw her name here & there, and it just really upsets me. I know this day will come eventually, to some i love or me, but it is always a shocker. i am so sorry for you who knew her well, (((hug for grannydukes))).....so sad

Ducky I know u guys are close and I know it's to soon for Granny to post so we'll certainly be patient for her to grieve someone she loves. It's all very sad.

Oh CC and Jazzy 1 yr is done--and it's a relief for u to get thru this--it does take so much out of u but u'r almost back and if not, almost is always good

Kath those would be lovely to paint, they are so pretty..And I have to say last week I was so itchy I was scrating like mad and gave myself a scab and didn't feel it of course til I felt it. U feel the itch but not the scratch. Still

Teka poor Teka they don't like to travel but came home easier.

took a short break..my son, and grandson called and came over for lunch.....Such a joy for me....makes me feel useful....gave them homemade soup, my homemade tuna fish sandwiches, chips, finger peppers, and for dessert.....rice pudding, fresh pineapple, and my special candy dish........of Mounds, Snickers, and Goldbergs Peanut Chews........what a lovely visit....

Now I'm back.......told them about Veggie..they will light candles for her on Sunday after Mass........

Hermits- I realized I really need to be a hermit today on this anniversary. I have a cleaning service and just could not deal with them being here today so I cancelled it. So they will come another time. Kind of good to know when you need your privacy, right? More than anything, I am very tired from the week and think I just want to rest for a bit after working here at home and then go to massage.

Teka- thank you for the good wishes for Thanksgiving and back at cha! I got invited to a friends house, but she decided to change up some plans and ship her daughter to the east coast to be with her friend so we are going to one of the local resorts for a buffet. You know what this means- no cooking for any of us involved!

And you right, first year is hard.

duckyb1

Jazzy......it's been a tough year for you.......but it is behind you.....hermit is good.......it is not an easy road....relax today, knowing you made it through......hugs.......

Jazzygirl

We often talk about our community and who we feel is just there for us. I saw this today and liked what it had to say! I like those people who check in on me how ever it works for them to do so to say "hey, you doing okay girlfriend?" are the keepers!

CC and Jazzy, congrats on the one year mark!! May you both have many many more anniversaries!! (((hugs)))

So sad to hear of yet another Angel. I had crossed paths with either of them here, but it is sad nonetheless.

Teka, my cat hates going to the vet and it is always a battle to get him into the carrier. He howls the whole way there, pees on the towel in the carrier. Then he crouches down when at the vet trying to push himself through the table I think!! New towel in carrier and he howls all the way home. Usually pees again, or sometimes gifts me with a pooh! He's a rescue, but he's been with me for 7 years. However he is still scared of just about everything.

kathec, I love the photos! They'd both make excellent paintings. I especially like the one with the little building in it.

Oh my, I really am a hermit!! I'm sitting in my recliner and it is almost dark outside (4:40PM). I have a salt lamp on and another small lamp that is more like a night light and the room is pretty dark. My cat is curled up in my lap and I'm on my laptop (brightest light in the room). I don't want to get up for more lights, because Boo will commandeer the recliner and I won't get it back for several hours. So I'll just sit in the dark.......

Teka

Please, don't give Teka any pointers for Vet visit in 2014.

Tomboy

Hahahahahhhhhh!!! funny, Teka!

Jazzy just relax for sure---BTW I wrote that many years ago I said a lot over the years and never put my name on anything, so if u see anything with unknown, know it was probably me.

Gramma u sound like me--I have a lamp on with a 40 watt bulb, my TV and computer and that's how I like it and when I put my comouter away out goes the light but never the TV. oops here comes my cat just watching me, she's waiting for me to finish it must be it must be around 8, she gets her treat at 7-8 PM.

LOL Teka!

Sadly I Have to take Baby Boo to the vet 3-4 times a year. He has a re-occurring virus (Rodent virus, though it has nothing to do with rodents) that he gets periodically. It seems to be somewhat stress related. He gets ulcers on a paw or in his mouth or lip. He shreds me any time I try to give him meds so he goes to the vet and she gives him a couple of shots.

He always get it right before I go on buying trips or go to visit my kids & grands in CA. Last time he got it was a few days after my sx. I had the vet come to me as a Ranch Call to give him his shots. No way at that point could I have caught him got in the carrier and lifted the carrier! He weighs 13 lbs.

Oh Gramma poor baby.
