I'm going to be behind for a while

The roomie had surgery today. I was off my computer for 12 hours and was ALREADY behind when I left it. I will be taking care of her yahoo! groups while she's out of pocket, so that will put me even further behind here. So, if I should pop up with a few discussions you thought were dead and buried, know that I will be playing catch up for the next little bit. And as for responding to comments - well, that will be my first priority, but... I will be behind on that, don't despair, tho, I will try to get to all of them. Oh, and she was in recovery when I left the hospital this evening and I've talked to her parents, so as it stands now, she is resting comfortably. Love you guys! I'll be back!

You must make an excellent nursemaid! I hope she gives you the same care when you are ill. And I really hope she has a safe and speedy recovery. And I don't care if you're late responding to any of my discussions. A response at any time is something I'm thankful for! hee hee

oh, and she does pretty good with the nursemaiding - cause I'm kind of like her, when I'm sick, I just want to be left alone to die or recover - oh, and if you want to see if I'll eat, that's fine too...

No problem Elic...I'm way behind here especially about replying to friends discussions...I looked at your profile and saw a whole bunch of discussions you started that I didn't even know about...not getting my email notifications for when friends start discussions.. Glad to hear your roomie is resting now...how long will she be in the hospital??

a couple of days the doc said - so that'll be Friday - going to pick her up, and take her to her folks... I had noticed you weren't replying to my discussions, but I know you are a busy lady... well, I'm off to bed!

Actually it's just plain more that I'm hardly getting any notices that people are starting discussions..also have a lot of things going on in my life now that I need to settle--and NOT fun stuff

That's okay. We understand. I hope the roomie gets to feeling better. I am so far behind on my friends discussions also and work hard almost every day too, to try to get caught back up on them. I'm sure you will too.

Well, I would also be behind to. But it is because my internet connection is having a technical problem right now. It goes on and off and its very frustrating since there are times that I post and when I submit, the connection is lost and everything is erased. Well, I am for your roomies complete recovery. Best to both of you!

Thanks I'm trying to keep her groups going - that's why she made me a mod/co-owner in the first place!

I hope she recovers soon! Is this the bariatric surgery you were talking about awhile ago or something else? I'm behind, too. Cookie, my dog, had surgery and my writing has kept me very busy. I'm only two days behind right now, which is real progress!

That's what it is, and she's now at her folks. We came by the house to pick up some meds and the cats mobbed her!

She should, granted it wasn't an easy procedure, since what they were doing was a gastric bypass meaning, of course, that she is morbidly obese, but she's pretty healthy for all she's 150 lbs over weight, diabetic, hypertensive with high cholesterol, etc, etc...

It doesn’t take long to get behind, does it? I was off the Net for around a day or so because I had my daughter’s birthday party to organise and when I returned I had emails all over the place and after another day off, it took me about a week to catch up! Most people don’t mind at all, we all have lives...Glad to hear your roomie is doing well; she‘s lucky to have you around, that’s for sure! I look forward to seeing you when you get back here! Rest up...

Thanks - its hard enough some days to keep up and then it can be really hard to get CAUGHT up when I get behind. But I will be getting in to try and get a few done, if only comments to my discussions!

She's a tough gal, she should do fine - just this was probably a bit more than what the other roomie and I got when our gall bladders out, those were relatively short surgeries, this was over 4 hours!
