Thursdays #177 - Pain Free

**gini** · 09-14-2006, 09:43 AM

Slick described Laurie and I one day on the phone. She said that Laurie would be the take charge kind of person - and I would be the one with tears in my eyes - unable to move. Dang, if that girl isn't right! I have had tears in my eyes all morning.

Soooo, I would like TWO eyepatches and just please put a good strong drink in front of me - I know I will be able to find it.

Two eyepatches indeed. Boy, anything to stay out of the kitchen eh Gini? That's OK, you've been on Slick duty for ages now, let me lead you to a comfy chair and I'll putter around in the kitchen and start some comfort food... buttermilk biscuits for sure with maybe some homemade apple butter. Boy, I love apple butter.

I've brought some apples from my Mum's tree for you, Laurie. No idea what variety they are, but they sure taste good. I'll chop!

MMMMMMMMM buttermilk buscuits and apple butter! Yummy! Slick, you know we're all with you!

Met with MY surgeon this morning and my surgery is scheduled for 10/20 - minor hernia repair; in & out one day thing. Doc said I should be back to work the following Monday (darn!), no heavy lifting for three weeks after that so I'll be working out like a fiend until then! I'm glad for this diagnosis, rather than the lipoma (benign tumor) they initially thought it was.

A cuppa coffee for me to wash down the biscuits and I'm back to work.

I haven't made it to the bar before....but did I hear something about rum???

**gini** · 09-14-2006, 03:19 PM

I think Richard stepped out for a moment or two - so - here ya go Tricia -
a bottle of Pusser's Rum - you just have to share though.

**Dorothy39** · 09-14-2006, 09:38 PM

(sets drink down, ) did someone mention Buttermilk Biscuits and Apple Butter?

Slick: We certainly are under your SPELL!!!

**gini** · 09-14-2006, 09:52 PM

Give me a shot of that rum - so I can toast Slick's surgery and that it is over!!

I didn't want this to go by without saying we will be thinking of you too when your surgery time comes. Sir Jury isn't fun for anyone..........

Thanks .... It's not quite as big a deal as Slick's - well, maybe not as big to me as I went through 9 surgeries with my breast cancer. A little hernia repair ain't nuthin' to me after all that.

Let's raise a toast of pusser's rum to Slick's successful surgery, may the healing begin and may it be speedy and pain free.

I'm also celebrating reaching 5,000 posts! Yikes! I talk a lot!

**gini** · 09-14-2006, 11:38 PM

Well, nanner, nanner, nanner............I have 8,000 posts.

Oh Lord, it must be the Pusser's Rum talking

(just funnin - don't take offense, please)
