Oh ginnie

how can i release my attention? I don't want to obsess about this for a year plus. I didn't know egg fo yung was relatively low in calories without the gravy. i love it. steamed vegetables doesn't do t for me. i love egg drop soup. I never tried making it. I think there are 140 areas that are still rent controlled. when boston let go of rent control the rents doubled. I think it just came out that nyc rents average now 3400 dollars. egads.

Oh waves
you totally scared me away from implants. thank you. i don't want any part of them now. too many risks. thanks for reminding me of adhesives. I think you do know the friend i was referring to. I really missed her. I just volunteered to pick her up at the hospital close by after she has a back procedure if she needs me.
love
bobby one less decision to make

Your angel is welcome here by me. I will need him. The flutter of wings came by during my sleep I think. I have to settle down a bit, as my stomach won't settle down. I know this surgery is as complicated at the spinal fusions were.
The good part is I will have three weeks to be here with NT to help some other people while I am laid up. Nan gave me some hugs last night and told me not to worry, she will be there for me, to cook, clean and nurse me once again. Oh Lord, am I blessed. she does not let me wallow in a pity party for long. She reminded me once again this morning that this is indeed hope....
Lots to think about Gerry. I am OK, called the stomach doctor, and we will see what he can do about the Gerds. Meds. arn't holding right now. My emotional state makes my stomach act up. I will take a nap later on. It has been an emotional rollar coaster, and someday I hope the ride will stop.
Thanks for caring Gerry. It was a blessing to find you and NT. ginnie

This is a blessing. And, think of the pampering you will be getting. Give Nan an extra hug for me. If you do as you are told by doctors, etc., the amount of pain will be minimal as time goes on. Be happy, my dear friend.

You had already posted you were going to bed. Sooooo, you are right, you did hear the flutter as you slept.

As always....prayers coming your way,

(Gerry)

Dear Bobby,

Other good options for Chinese take out are
~Spring rolls instead of fried egg rolls
~Shrimp with lobster souce
~Beef Broccoli or Chicken Broccoli
~Steamed Vegetable Dumplings
~also Chow Mein and Cop Suey.

I have been listening to a meditation tape in my car that talks of the Buddha's second nobel truth:
http://www.butler.edu/faith-vocation...gion/buddhism/
I am starting to try this by saying things like this: "I detach myself."
It works sometimes.

thanks Mari
I am really attached to my apartment big time. transportation wise is it very convenient especially since i can't walk more than four blocks. I would have to give up my kitty cats i think. I agree with buddhism about attachment.this morning i woke up so very depressed. all this worry might be one big waste.
also yesterday i found out that i got into a program that pays for most of my prescription drugs. i will pay 2.60 for generic and a little more than six dollars for brand names. i couldn't believe my good fortune. It fell into my lap when i received an application for help.
bobby
i love shrimp with lobster sauce

another good fortune has come your way. Happy about your new medication
co-pay. wonderful!
I love chinese food too. I like the spicy kung poa chicken with some peanuts thrown in for good measure.

Dear Bobby

Yippee!!

i am driving myself crazy now about rent control going to the supreme court and worrying like crazy about losing my apartment and thinking about how my whole life might unravel. i can't stop torturing myself. I just feel like staying in bed.
