Sometimes You Just Get Lucky--a General Blog!

I drove to the dealer to see about getting the window
fixed on Allen's car as I really don't want his car, especially the
driver's seat or me, getting soaked until he gets back. I really got
lucky because just as I drove into the dealers the sky opened up and I
avoided getting the car or me wet!

Also got
lucky after I explained to him that all I really needed was to get the
window up--that I couldn't afford to lay out the $600 to get a new
window motor put in--within a half hour the window was up and he sent
me on my way with a warning not to slam the door!!!  :O)

I've
been in the following conversation with a few friends and they don't
seem to understand--I don't mind (well, I do) being a patient in a
hospital but I really don't like visiting people or people visiting me
under those circumstances--also that I wish they wouldn't call as I
will probably be out of it and they should wait until I call them. Of
course I told them they are free to drop of chocolates, carrot cake,
etc. if they really want me to recover!!  LOL

Some
people have asked for the hospital's address--Broward General Medical
Center  1600 S. Andrews  Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316 I should only be
there for 5-6 days and then, I hope, I'll be transferred to St.
Anthony's--don't know how long I'll be there.

One
of my friends--and they never cease to amaze me--has come up with an
alternative to taking care of the birds--will be talking to her about
it this weekend and will post about it if it works out.

I
wrote a lot more in this blog but I decided that it was a different
blog so I will copy it and post it in another blog--it will give them a
chance to rant, rave, threaten, call me names, try (try means failure)
to put me down, go running to the owner, etc. Well they say I am a
trouble maker so I might as well be!!! LOL

You always amaze me with how organized you are. That's way too much for me, but I wish I could be somewhere inbetween what I'm like and you're like. Martin, I understand about the visits and phone calls...a lot also depends on why a person is in the hospital or going through rehab. Company is not always a comfortable thing, not for the patient or for the visitor, so a little consideration and understanding should be exercised before barging in or making a call. My thoughts will be with you all the time, though, and you can't stop me from doing that!

I can understand how you feel(visits & phone calls)If I was in this situation I'd probably feel the same way. I think I can speak for most of the people who love and cherish you here(myself included)when I say all we hope and pray for is a speedy recovery

It is great that you are finding plans for the birds.
I wish I could be as organized as you seem to be when it comes to planning.
