lol, yeah, i told mike he's too used to me being fairly self-sufficient.
for
a while i felt guilty about making him stay closer to home, even though i
didn't really need that much, but i talked myself out of the guilt. ;)
he's
my security blanket and he'll just have to live with that! lol

****y'know, i've had soooo many surgeries, since i was 23, that i,
personally, tend to minimize the potentiality for post-op dangers (even in
relatively minor operations), days later. i have to force myself to
remember--- it was ten days after my first car wreck surgery that i suddenly
had an outrageous fever spike, that even my nurse was astonnished by and
couldn't believe the thermometer (she rechecked it 3 times with different
electronic thermometers and then, with the old fashioned kind). it was
three days later, after a "very minor" surgery, that a blood clot broke
loose from the wound site and stopped my grandmother's heart, in the 1970s.

****so, you are intuitively very wise and spot-on in wanting and needing
mike to be close at hand, for a security blanket. post-op doesn't mean that
we've crossed into some invisble safety zone. it just means post-op. and
post-op requires watchfulness.



after watching some of the world poker tour on tv sat. he started playing on
partypoker.net which was advertised a lot on the tv show. he's been having
fun i think, though he still looks forward to playing at soaring eagle when
he can get there. he comes from a card playing family - his vision of
heaven
includes pinochle with the family.

****<smile> and at partypoker. net, he can join in the tourneys, if he has
the inclination to go for the gold. i love pinochle! butch and his sister
taught me that game and lots of variations--- i married a man from a card
plying family, too, as well as, coming from a card playing family myself.
