mel, it sounds like a great day. It is so nice to know that your grandmother is doing better. I know your felt as special as you are when you saw what your friend did for you. Just sending a card was wonderful of your friend, but then to give you a certificate to your favorite restaurtant is very thoughtful of this friend. I am so glad that the tray arived and you like it. I know orignally you really wanted the christmas tray and won the santa tray, so I am so very glad that you are pleased with it. mel you deserve the best...now go and have a great supper.... love Red

mel...I am so excited that you sound so wonderfully happy and at peace with yourself right now. I am really glad about your grandmother, I know that mini stokes do not have to be serious, but you always have to watch so I am glad she is out of danger and will be getting back to her life soon. I am sure that you are as much a blessing to her and she is to you. I can't even imagine my life without my grand children, especially my Alexia. My Alexia and I are very close and have been for her whole life. I don't remember if I have shown any of her oil paintings since you have been on line, but she is turning into an excellent artist and piano player ...and when she grows up she wants to be a scientist and find a cure for MS. She is so in tuned to the world around her, it is sometimes amazing she is only 9 years old. The point is, I can really appreciate the relationship that you have with your grandmother as I cherish the one I have with Alexia and the other three..but as I said Alexia was my first and she is the oldest.

You can tell your fiance, that I love this forum and that before I started doing the BINGO games I was really depressed and distant from life..it is all relevant. I get as much from the games, making crafts for everyone, as you get from receiving them.. I most likely receive a whole lot more if we were counting... it is nice feeling to hear someone here say that they recieved it and that they love it, as you did..so who is the winner here... I hope we both are.... love Red

Hey mel, put the food in crock pots!!!! LOL glad to hear she is getting released and going home...My aunt is getting out on the 9th of November and my mother in law is wanting out now!!!!....get this one..she didn't want to worry me, but they put the wrong name band on her arm and have been giving her the wrong medications...and she also suffers severly from osteoporosis...and I'm looking at her bed today, and it sags so badly in the middle with the edges higher and very hard...I never noticed because she has always been in bed, but today she was up and moving...so I went to the admin.office and asked for her to get another mattress or bed...and she said she would try...and my sister in law from New York who is a nurse called the head nurse and requested an incident report to be made regarding the name band and meds....I'll tell ya...they are so understaffed there, it's a shame.....as I was walking to my mommy in laws room, this sweetheart of a woman was in a wheelchair crying and asked me not to leave her alone there, and would I please take her home...it broke my heart...she was by the nurses station and they just ignored her...but I reassured her she would be fine, and that someone would take care of her and that she wasn't alone, and later I noticed she was with one of the nurses behind the desk smiling...it's so depressing there.....ugh

How was your dinner at Olive Garden, or did you make it yet?...I too love that place....hope you enjoyed....
