Well, looks like Helen is going to pull out of it in another day or two as per her doctor. He went in with some exploritory surgery this afternoon. Well it aint one of my missing socks causing it. What he found was scar tissue from a surgery 29 years ago on a different part of her anatomy, somehow or other caused the blockage in her intestines. Poor girl was really in some pain.

Monday was my 60th and we didnt have anything scheduled, We were supposed to go do what ever I wanted... all day long. I am so fortunate for my 2 daughters and both the granddaughters they are taking turns being with Helen 24 a day. I am not one to sit or vist at the Hosp. I had a best friend once die of lonelyness in a hospital.

Today I had a piece of cake day scheduled, Client had called and wanted just the center of her living room (TA's) and stairs, when I arrived It grew, 2 bedrooms 2 halls, Living, dining WtoW, Family room TA's (350sq).

2nd job was just a spot on their white wool carpet. When I got there I found that besides Sandy's (the dog) spots around her feed bowl, the Mrs had tripped and cut her forhead and arm and we had quite a large area that had lots of red spots. This is a 23 yr client of mine and both are eldery and quite well off. Teasingly I asked if she was on Geratol or not? Why do you want to know that he asked, I told him Iron poor blood is a lot easier to clean up and I will not have to use as much rust remover and have to bring out the Hydrofloric which costs an extra $150. Her husband then said Shes healthy just gitten old, Then smiled and said he has been out window shopding, been thinking about trading her in for a couple of 30 yr olds..

See what a bit of judicious deleting can do, John. Better hope Helen doesn't see this!

PS That is really good news. Tell Helen she has exactly one week to recover for our big dinner date! Or if not we'll catch her next time we are in town. Lemme know ...

Bloody great news mate.

Keep that size ten firmly on top of the (rug) dokters neck.

Now to top it off, happy belated birthday you young fart.

Now here's something you may not be aware of.

August TEN, is every horses birthday.


That is why I called my ex; FIVE HORSES, she was also born on that day, and all she ever did was nag, nag, nag, nag, nag !!

Now you know I'm a sucker for punishment, I didn't tell you, but August TEN is also Del's birthday. :oops:

There is no justice in this world, I've been hitched twice, and both have been born on August TEN.

Now I find that's your day also. shiteatinggrin

Take care mate and give our love to the lovely Miss Helen.

Delia & Shorty.

Shorty, in the states January 1st is every horses birthday.

John, give Helen another hug for me and buck up and go sit with her in the hospital some before she trades you in on two 30 year olds!

Take care,
Lisa

Bryan, she is at United General in Sedro Woolley Rm 382. Thanks for all of your support. Still no food or liquids to day except Ice chips. The daughters have had her up and walking around a little bit. Her tummy is really rumbling, Just awaiting the big blow. All I can think about is that poor monkey, one arm over his eyes and the other trying to put the plug back in.....

Well, spose to be hot tomarro, got 2 jobs, gonna have to pick up the pace, the jobs on Tue bout tuckkered me out. Damn that one man trk is a lot of work, My Helens has me spoiled.. She set up the hoses, put on the skidders and tabs, did the final grooming. pulled my hoses for me, made sure I wasn't a bull in a china closet knocking stuff over or causing breakage..

I have to say John.. You always talk about her with such high esteem, praise, love and admiration.

She better out live you, because you'd be a mess without her!
