That's a really moving story Terry.. thanks so much for sharing

(and I hope you're feeling much better now from your illness)

I feel pretty much "normal" now except for a full tank of energy which isn't fully charged....yet.

I'm facing a lot of medical bills, of course, and dental bills. But, that's just a matter of time and payments which all of us face

at one time or another.

The aftermath of any illness is that you do considerable inventory of "self".

How can I avoid this in the future? What should I have done differently?

Those sort of things.

I have my antenna fully sprouted now and am more deliberate and alert.

We take so many things as "given" I even wonder how any of us dare to drive a car and listen to the radio or talk on the phone at the same time!

My God! We are inches from disaster and have our mind on something OTHER than driving?

Getting a cracked tooth fixed did not seem like that kind of emergency.

But, ohhhhh, it really was!

Too much distraction, I guess.

Thanks for the kind comments all!

Terry,

What a painful, but beautiful story. Thank you for sharing it.

Terry,

Mom always liked you best. You got to have a dog and all I got was a lousy Chicken!
