SUPPER CLUB - Tuesday, Feb 2nd

Good Morning!

Happy Groundhog Day! Supposed to be 48* and sunny here today. Let's see if that 'lil guy pops out and sees his shadow.

Yesterday was a very long day. We were at the hospital for 10 hours. Jim's surgery was almost 8 hours but given his general health and the complexity of the operation, the doctor felt that he came through it very well. We all left soon after and his wife and two kids stayed so they could see him after his 3-hour recovery. I'm anxious for an update this morning but thought I'd wait for a bit. I am grateful for all your good thoughts and prayers sent our way!

We still have the crowd at our house and we'll take turns visiting Jim in the hospital. Tomorrow my middle brother, Albert, has a doctor appt to find out just how bad HIS bladder cancer is. He's already been warned that his doctors weren't happy with his test results. So we might be doing this all over again very soon. The flying sibs (sort of sounds like an acrobatic act, doesn't it) are waiting to see if they should change their return tickets.


IRISH - I hope the new med does the job for Jim. And that he adjusts quickly. Thanks for your texts yesterday. That meant a lot!

TINA - poor Jazmyne! How is she feeling today? How is your dad feeling? Dare I ask about your mom? Most important of all - how is TINA feeling today??

JANA - Is your Michael sick, too?? I hope not! What kind of soup did you end up making? How's the baby sewing coming along? How's the BABY coming along?

CHICKIE - are you having a storm? Last I heard, I thought weather was headed someplace in your general direction, but I've forgotten exactly where and with all our company I've missed a lot of the news.

CAROL 7 - I DO remember that CA was getting a lot of rain. Did that include you?

LADY CAROL - how was your weekend? did you survive it?

We still have some leftovers, but I think I might start freezing the the chicken and turkey. I need something new. Burgers on the grill and some french fries sound tasty to me. We still have baked beans, and some yummy, cheesy scalloped potatoes a friend made.

Come on over! We've got plenty!

Now for the long recovery. Adding Albert to my prayer list. Enjoy your siblings and know we are praying for the whole family.

Well now that I am here...we are having butterfly hmmm Mac and cheese...did I get that right? Baked potatoe and some kind of veggie. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Mary, so happy he came through such a long surgery. Prayers for a speedy recovery. Will add Albert to the prayers too. Jaz is feeling better after 2 full days of 3rd so she went to school. Dad called last night starving, he wanted me to send him a cheeseburger through the phone, Mom was making him a bowl of cereal, ugh. He's hurting from the PT but that's because yesterday was the first day he actually had it on his leg, the nursing home was only having him do upper body strengthening exercises, I hope they haven't messed him up by not doing PT on his knee. I didn't hear from Mom yesterday except when Dad called and she was telling things in the background. I'm ok, a little tired. We had a big storm yesterday, high winds, snow, rain, it was a good stay in day, supposed to be the same today just not as bad.
Carole, yep you got it right hehehe. How are you feeling these days? I think of you often and hope and pray all is going well with your infusions.
Jana and Chickie, I started on #3 Bloom Block last night, it's kinda tough but I'm getting those tiny leaves turned :-)
I need to look in my freezer for supper ideas :-)

Good morning from a very sunny, almost spring like, Sw. Pa...If you didn't look at the calendar, you might think it was the beginning of April...(I can only dream)

Oh Mary, so glad things are going well...It was a very long day and 1 that is very hard on the family...How well we all know but you guys seem to manage very well..And tell your DB not to mess with your phone when you're sending me a message! Will certainly keep Albert in my prayers although I don't know if I can go through this again, lol....(Is he the one that messed with the phone?)....

Tina, you have ever right to be tired, my heavens girl, you need to take a break.....That is funny about your starving Dad and sending the cheeseburger, poor guy....Hoping each day gets easier with him and his knee heals quickly.....

Not sure what's happening around here today...Jim was better last night and actually slept all night...The new med is to keep him from getting agitated but it makes him more confused...We'll see what the doc thinks we should do....
With the sunshine, almost makes a person want to clean, ALMOST, but I have a feeling, sewing might be more the order of the day...That cleaning can wait for another sunny day, right???

Our chicken pot pie was very good last night so we'll have a repeat tonight....Pumpkin pie is gone so time to get something else in the oven.....Hearing about Becca's cinnamon rolls the other day has me thinking............

Happy eating.................

Hello everyone,Sunny here & 68. Makes me think Spring is here but I know better.
DD left this afternoon.Was so nice to have her go with me & her Dad to Dr visits.
Even if It was unsettling to hear you need surgery on your eye.after seeing the ultrasound it shook me up.Have to make a decision.

We ate out today at Boiler Room.DS give us a gift certificate for Christmas that will run maybe all year.

Maryz I checked yesterday & never did find any news.Sure happy he come thru & sure hope the other DB gets good news.

Our friend that has brain tumor has brain bleed & is no hope for him.He may be gone now as it started last nite.Was so sad to hear.He wanted to come see us as soon as he could travel.

Carol7 Hope you are doing well.

And all the others too.
Irish Hope the med gets better.They tried my DH on one for his mind & he couldn't take it.The new Dr is really trying to help him.We both like her.

Have a great day.Becca
Tina Hope your day comes soon for a me day.And that Dad gets help too.

Good afternoon!

Been out wandering the countryside. Not snowing and the roads were plowed, so off we went ! Stopped at the blue car store, (Lowes), the orange car store (Home Depot), Bed, Bath and Beyond, twice and my favorite LQS. We had Ethan with us and he was a angel. Finally home now. The roads may have been clear, but it was COLD! 21 for the high!

Dinner will be unknown, I haven't seen what is in the freezer downstairs, so it will be a surprise! I have some very small fingerling potatoes that I will cut in half and toss in onion soup mix and roast, but that is about all I know.

Michael's new med is a weekly injectable for his diabetes. It is supposed to aid his other meds for the diabetes. It is not insulin, but another one of the new ones on the market. We will see how it works.

Mary - glad that things are going well and hope your other brother gets a good report too.

Enjoy,
Jana
