JUST SPOKE TO DA CAPTN

well, what a difference a day (or 2) makes! She sounds terrific! No pain to her voice, although she says she now just has a wee bit of pain but MUCH more tolerable.  Said she was able to sleep on her side last night (a HUGE feet ;) for her) but she's doing great. Says she'll attempt to log on in the next day or 2.... so.... start swabbing the decks... hoist the sails.... pour the grog in celebration.... our Captn is being booted outta sick bay! :D

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Ahoy ye scurvey scalawags and wicked wenches!!!!!!!!

I'm finally feeling good enuff to get to a 'puter!  It has been a rough road wiv two surgeries in 4 weeks.  Me female innards are all gone, never to plague me again and me lungs is healed up a bit more--had to go by ambulance 12 hrs back to the ER after they initially releasedme cuz I thought I were having another collapsed lung or a heart attack!!! Turns out I had pleurisy in me left lung this time.--Sooo painful and scarey it was. Very scarey.  But this here wench be a tough old scurvey sea captain and no wimp. 

Now the med bills are a rolling in in scads--thank G-d I was able to get disability and Medicare and Eric was able to sell one of our rental units at a faily good profit this spring.  That punctured lung, which was punctured by a frigging doc cost $12,000, and that don't include the doc fees which were another 3,000- 4000!  Medicare picks up 90% or so.  I haven't been able to work for two months and if will be another few weeks till I get back in my studio.

Thank you for all your continuing support--I'm going online later today to make my airline reservations fer Chicago--I gotta go to this Symposium by hook or by crook!  Plus if I don't go Phyll will kick my ass.  I need a real life hug from her!!!  I can't wait to meet all of you scallywags and wenches and I hope yer a gettin all your pirate gear ready to wear to the Friday night party!!  The Saturday night one is more dressy and I don't want to look like too much of a nutcase.  I'll be in disguise as a normal person.

Thanks again for loving me when I felt so crappy--that is hard on one's psyche at times fer sure!!!

Anchors aweigh--there's seas to be sailed and tropical islands to explore! Love, love, love you guys!!!!

Capt Deb

Hi C. Deb .... welcome back!

I often check out websites offered in a poster's signature .... it's fun and interesting.  On yours, I sought out your artwork and, after clicking several links on several links (including Hillbilly's), I saw your paintings.  Simply stated ..... terrific!

Keep up the good work!
