I'm feeling sad today. My daughter called from New Orleans last night. They x-rayed the arm she broke in Colorado 2 weeks ago, and now they can see that she shattered her wrist. It is not healing right, the bones are moving away from each other not together. So she needs surgery. They will do it on Friday. The only good news is that she went to the same hospital I took her to when she broke her other arm when she was 7. And she has the same surgeon. He was great. So I feel better knowing who the surgeon is. But other than that, I feel bad about it. And I would go there to be with her, but I already bought tickets to fly to see my parents in S.FL on Saturday. And changing the ticket to fly first to New Orleans and then to S. Florida and then back to Tampa will be very high. And besides, what can I do for her that her good friend won't do?
Thanks Saffie. She didn't say that the doctor anticipated any longterm problems. And knowing the surgeon, I think he will make it perfect. He certainly did when she damaged the elbow.
sorry I've been so neglectful lately. lots of wisdom here!
and sara, I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. speedy healing vibes to her.
on the subject of lyrics, I am amazed at how I hear songs now, especially those I have known for years. its like hearing them for the first time, because my perspective is so different now. hadn't thought of that shania song in a long time...but yeah. amazingly upbeat for the subject matter.
a song that really got to me yesterday was an old billy joel one that came on the radio. I haven't heard it in years, but still knew all the words by heart, and as i was driving around I was belting it out (okay, dirty little secret, I sing in the car, lol). then I started listening to it. ouch.
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance (I never said you had to) I never said I was a victim of circumstance (I never said) I still belong, don't get me wrong And you can speak your mind But not on my time
and all I could think about was, wow, talk about a was song! seriously. its like listening to h 6 months ago.

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is that little voice at the end of the day that says, 'I'll try again tomorrow.'"
I called my mother and told her about my daughter's surgery, and she said, "forget about visiting us this weekend, you have to go be with her". So I called the airline and changed my ticket, and I'm flying to New Orleans tomorrow to be with my daughter. It's a 2 hour surgery, so it is a big deal. My mother is right.
Morning everyone. I've just got a few minutes and then I have to pack a bag and get out of here. Hope everyone's well today. I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to post in New Orleans. Have a good weekend.
