Western New York Area

Hi all, just woke-up from the most beautiful restful, carefree sleep.  B9, what a magical word, you all gave me your thoughts, prayers and love, your courage riding along in my pocket.  The Gyn. is certain it is B9, it came out as 1 piece, no tangential strings and in his experience he feels that the results today will only be confirmed by the path report on next Friday.  i feel like I'm still in lala land, everyone at the hospital was so calm and caring, the anaesthesiologist took DD's hand and said not to worry - I'll treat her as my own.  My Gyn. found DD in the surgical waiting room and said your mother is 100% alright, what a beautiful day it is. love and hugs, Karen

Karen- so so so happy for you. Praying the final path is no surprise and all is well. Hugs and love to you.,

Bevin

Karen-so happy to hear that word benign!  Glad you are getting some very good sleep and are well cared for by your family.  sending lots of well wishes and love your way...

Susan

Hi all, it is Monday and I do believe I am slept out, don't know where the weekend went.  I am a little sore but Tylenol takes the edge off.  My DD took the next two days off since she hasn't had a full weekend off in over 3 weeks, she did get a call from a painter she is helping to do trim work.  She worked every day last week for at least a 8 hr. day plus the stress of surgery day, I know the waiting is hard on her too, she said I was pretty hysterical when I first came back from the recovery room, heaven only knows what I said in the recovery  room.  Hopefully, I did not dishonor my Catholic School upbringing.  hugs to all, how did the inspection go Susan?  Karen

Dear Jan, after this week all your time is your own, find a nice coffee shop in the Main and Transit area and we can meet for coffee, perhaps bevin, when her leg heals and Susan can meet us there, as they do some work from home.  I feel good that my doctor is certain it is benign, but doubting Thomas that I am will feel even better when I see it in print.  Everyone stay cool, the next 3 days are supposed to be in the 90's.  love to all, Karen

Congratulations Susan, boy did that work out great for you, except for the air conditioners!  You are effectively a resident of just Clarence, you can be on the lookout for a coffee house in Clarence for all of us that are either retired, work from home or feel like playing hooky.

Dear bevin, you have been a true trooper through all this, such patience.  I think that there is a small coffee shop on Clarence Center Road, it is on the right hand side about a mile and a half down from Main St., it is at a cross street, Goodrich? maybe.  It has coffee, great chai lattee's and bakery and wrap items, it has an outside covered patio, where you can sit and relax, do not remember the name of it unfortunately.  Maybe Susan you can find it when you are familiarizing yourself in your new neighborhood. hugs to all, stay inside and cool.  Karen

Thanks Kelly, it was a nailbiter that's for sure, gotta love that word benign so much better to hear that than the other dreaded phrase!  I had a pocket full of supporters going with me to the hospital, then stuffed all of you in that pretty blue cap they put on you.  Stay cool today, relief on it's way tomorrow night. hugs, Karen

Retirement party is over. Lots of fun and lots of wonderful people. All that's left is to turn in my keys tomorrow!

Karen, there are several coffee shops in the Transit Main area. We'll have to visit a few this summer.

Susan, congrats on selling house and soon to be in new house. Will your son be going to the Clarence schools? It's a great district.

Hi and good wishes to everyone.

Love, Jan

Jan, that would be great fun to try a few, there is also one on Clarence Center Rd. that Susan and I are familiar with, nice atmosphere and an open patio.  Anyone can join in if you are due a mental health day.  Congratulation on making it through, your life belongs to you now HOORAY.

Susan, what a good move you made, nothing is as important than your son's elementary school.  Jan, first weekend not thinking of going to work on Monday, there's is nothing like it.  Kelly, hope the whole family is well now, kindone, miss your smiling face, bet you have some really good Buster stories, Heymoose, great job getting the June dinner together, Maureen, if you are not on vacation yet, I hope you have a wonderful time, work stress is just the pits, bevin, getting down to weeks of rehab, instead of months, hope it goes fast.  Path report not in yet, doctor said may not be in till Wed., I know I didn't wait this long in Rochester, getting antsy, want to see benign in print!!  My stepdaugter came over for lunch today, she brought a tender card and flowers, she and my Susan had a half day to visit, they were always great friends.  I made fresh Brusceto bread with tomatoes, feta cheese, fresh basil and minced purple onion and garlic  Got the recipe on line, it was very easy, will be making that again. Windows open, boy it's been hot - this feels delicious.  hugs, Karen

Hi there ladies! I decided to take a couple days off this week to help get my kids into the swimming and tennis routine at the swim club. I fortunately have a phenomenal sister in law who watches my kids all summer, she's a school counselor. I took off tomorrow and Thursday... I'm looking forward to it off with them. Work has been crazy - as usual, but I refuse to let the chaos get to me I've been busy planning the wine tasting too! I sent everyone the flyer via email, did you receive it? July 16th at Rich's Atrium in Buffalo - Betty, I'm glad to hear you're thinking of going!!!



I hope all is well with everyone!!



Kelly
