Surprise! I’m writing to you when I said I wouldn’t. That’s because…Surprise!…my life has fallen apart again. Who’d of figured?
Okay, so I didn’t really crash and burn…per se…but I did find out that I have been mentally dwelling on, and therefore worrying about, going through this surgery on Monday without my dear Mary. I’ve been playing it off like it’s not a big deal when in fact it IS a big deal and I’ve been dreaming of not waking up from the anesthesia and some other wacky things and that somehow, if Mary were here, it would all be all right, and it all just burst out of me in the middle of the exercise and … well … I kinda got kicked out the exercise and put on leave until my surgery on Monday.
Which, legitimately I should have been on anyway, but I thought they NEEDED me, like I was WAY more important than I am, and in the end, I probably just made things worse for them.
I am a schmuck.
So, that’s why I get to hang out with you guys for the next couple of days before my surgery. I’ll try to put a couple of little issues together for you between now and then. How does that sound to you guys?
Sarcasm — where the witty will have fun but the stupid won’t get it.
The only thing that’s ever in bed with me is crumbs.
My girlfriend pissed me off in my dream so when I woke up and told her about it she said, “it was probably something you started.” and somehow I ended up apologizing.
One of the most important things about a well working relationship, is that you have each other’s back. It’s not always the biggest one who protects the smaller one.
If I’m quiet around you, I’m either trying to figure you out or I’ve already figured you out and I don’t like you.
Depending on YOUR age and the age and condition of your chair — yes they do count.
No amount of physical beauty will ever be as valuable as a beautiful heart.
I am the master of all I survey! What is this shit?
So, it’s okay to smoke silently.
This next one is the story of my entire life:
Sometimes all you can do is laugh to keep yourself from crying.
Sending a second cup of coffee down to check on the first one to see why it’s not doing its job.
Cupcakes are muffins that believed in miracles.
And I’m going to end this here so I can put this out tomorrow…on Friday…out of the ordinary, I know, but Surprise!
Love and happiness to you all.

Hi Impish I wish you well in your surgery, I had it done a year ago and I am doing well I do not US a cane anymore. Just take the pain medication before the pain gets bad and do all the therapy exercises and seasons. I actually did not have a lot of pain. After the surgery I showed my 5 year old grandson my 6 inch long bandaid and he told his mom it was about 2 feet long.
My husband passed away the 8th of june.The Lukemia finally won. My
Girls are with me been going thru old photos to put up a memory board. They have found a lot of laughable photos! Good memories!!
My dear Helen,
Bless you and your girls. So very, very sorry. I pray for God’s peace and blessings to be upon you and your family. May you find comfort in them and in Him. It took me a long time, I’m still no where close, but I do feel I’m a little further along than I was.
Not much.
But a little.
Write to me if you want to talk.
Impish
My prayers for strength, peace, and comfort for you and the children. Love is painful at times.
Good to have you back, I know you’ll be back on your feet and pain free
I envy you getting knee surgery. After two weeks of not being able to walk, my doc says my knee is bone on bone, and there is a trench on the backside. He would be setting me up for surgery, however, they don’t think I’d live through the operation.
There now, does that make you feel better?
But you know me, the one who says there is good in all things . . . I now get to hire a house cleaner!
Ouch! Mine is hip surgery. MUCH easier than knee surgery. I’m sorry for you dear friend. Praying for you.
