A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Prayers, please for afgreyparrot

Remember, all of use here are still thinking of & praying for you.

Oh Cindy, it's so great to see you back We miss you so much.

Cindy, so glad to see that you were on here yesterday. You are a very strong person who WILL get better. We all love you :ding:and have missed you. Still praying for you and Bill. Hope you get home to that gorgeous Cedar Hill real the soon.

What a great set of friends you have on here Cindy....we're all hoping to see you well soon....take your time. As you can see EVERYONE misses you.

The news just keeps getting better in here. I'm just so overjoyed that Cindy is on the mend and is already showing her sense of humor and 'saluting'. I don't usually ever cry over things like this, but I've been crying while I was catching up on all the good news. I'm so grateful that I got to meet Cindy and Bill and I'm looking forward to meeting again in the future when she's all better. I just wish there was more I could do, but I know she's in the best of hands and will be okay. Cindy, take your time, like everyone has said, we're very patient people and we're not going anywhere. We will wait for as long as it takes for you to get better, and when you are all better Cedar Hill is going to see the biggest party like it's never seen before!! We all love you Cindy even if we can't always show it.

Pervy kisses for Cindy..... *we usually reserve them for the lounge, but I figured I'd bring them out here for a change*

cindy, it was so good to see you posting...

as good as that was to hear from you, you need to spend your energy on recuperating, not posting!! please, please, please! take care of yourself and keep activity to a minimum until you're on better footing!!

While I was up making my daily visit to Cindy, the Doc came in while I was there.... he is happy with her progress and said she would be ready for a rehab center next week.... I said "EXCUSE ME? She needs to be HOME to recover..." so I arm wrestled him for it, and of course I won. He will mark the chart that she needs to come home to Cedar Hill sometime next week because I WILL be taking good care of her!

Very good news, Bill. Thank you. We know you will take good care of her there. There is something about home....

i am so glad it's optional that she go rehab/home and all of us are soooo grateful you were the one to put the foot down and put in your bid to take her HOME.
home really is where the heart is, and i have forever thought the heart and head will mend the body. i can see Cindy in the Healing Garden already....

I'm sure that news cheered her bunches.

This is where she needs to be!

Way to arm wrestle him Bill.

So how IS Cindy doing today? Little improvements each day? Are her spirits up?

and as a footnote, let me add, there is no doubt in my mind, that when Cindy came to you, Bill, and Cedar Hill, you were in fact, saving her life. sometimes saving someone's life is not an act, it is a process. Through all this I have thought a dozen times, Lord thank-you for not letting this all happen in Kentucky. I don't think she would have made it. Seriously.

I have thought that too Patunia. Would have been a totally different story. This is gonna work out.

Holy TOledo Bill

Didn't know you could do that .

Were tickled.

Good luck.

You can get lots of advice online here.LOL

Do what?

maybe meant go home without rehab?

Arm wrestle in the hospital....

Obviously, you never saw my wood choppin pictures! I'm 260# of solid, grouchy ol' grizzly bear! (but my knees suck...) :wink:

I'll probably need rehab.... I have to quit smoking.

We have oxygen in the house now. I should quit, too.

That makes two for our support group! I'm getting patches on Monday.... I like the technicolor dreams!

The patches worked very well for me for long flights (12-ish hours) to and from New Zealand.

LOL.....I'll support you...even tho I don't smoke. :)

THREE!

I guess this rehab will be healthy for both of you Bill. You and Cindy Lou can rehab each other.

Cindy cheated! She couldn't smoke for a month now....

Has Cindy "technically" quit smoking? She hasn't been able to smoke the entire time she was in the hospital and she was probably unconscience during the withdrawal symptoms! LOL...she had it 'easy'!

Well, that answered that for me! Boy am I slow tonight

I don't think she would smoke again for any amount of money. I think this was definitely an awakening.

Bill, count me in for the support group. I'm getting back on my patches probably by Sunday. I'm going to allow myself to finish the last pack I have then I'm getting patched up.

I do not wish to go through what Cindy has gone through. But I sure wouldn't mind sleeping through the worst of the withdrawals. I'm so weak.

No I didnt, Maybe you was blowing smoke????????

That reminds me of the song ,,," I fought the law and the law won,," The Doctor didn't know that he was arm wrestling the Law of the gnome,, !! OF course You won!! We know you'll be the best care giver for Cindy in her recovery!

count me in and more for all who are stopping and all who want to stop and all who are supporting those who stop!

i have to tell y'all a funny about quitting smoking. my best friend smoked when we met, and she quit while we were both in our (very) early 20's. didn't smoke at all for years and years. then in her late 30's, i was talking to her on the phone and heard her light one up i was aghast and called her on it. "IS THAT a cigarette I HEAR???" well, she admitted it, but told me later that she was so mortified that i "caught" her from 500 miles away that she never picked up another one and it's been a few years but she still thanks me for calling her out that day. she also admits that she can never even have them in her house again because she still wants one, but not really.

That's the part that worries me most.

Prayers for Cindy for continued strength,,, in looking forward to going back to Cedar Hill..

We quit when we first got married.. Trying to save money to buy the farm.
We did it ourselves and never looked back.

Never really enjoyed it >. Don't know why I did it . Same with drinking . We quit and never looked back.
PS we saved bundles of money like that. Now we buy gas..Lol

Good night, Cindy. Sleep well.
