URGENT REQUEST!!

 

Please send prayers to Connor Cooper.  Conner has 3rd degree burns from saving his family’s home from a fire by throwing the burning objects out a window.  He is in the burn center in Washington DC.  He is going to have surgery tomorrow and possibly skin grafts.

 

Conner is the younger brother of my Granddaughters boyfriend.

 

thank you

 

Willow

I'm holding Connor in a special place in my heart and thoughts. Thank you, Willow, for letting us know.

Good morning, everyone!!! I'm 3/4 through my first cup of coffee so I'm beginning to feel lucid enough to type. No big plans for today - light projects around the house and work on the newest book I'm reading. 

 

Stay safe and be happy!!  Oh, and continued prayers for Connor!!

[Willow]

Thank you everyone for the prayers

 

i’ll update when I know more.  According to my granddaughter he was in good spirits yesterday and not in pain when they left the hospital.

That is encouraging.  Hoping for the best.

Good morning 

 

first, surgery apparently went well.  They used artificial skin so no skin graft was necessary.  I haven’t heard for certain but he was supposed to go home last night.  Pain medicine is doing its job so far but I’m sure when the damaged nerves begin to reconnect he will be in greater pain.  He has a long road to recovery and rehabilitation but he did save the family’s home. A rather selfless act but that is just like what their family is all about.

 

Thank you to everyone for the prayers.

I'm glad the surgery went well. He will still be in my prayers.

Prayers for this HERO, as he recovers. I was proud of the way you described his actions. He will be in pain once the nerves start to reconnect as you stated. Hopefully he sees his scars as the badges of courage they are.

 

I've been so busy with prop builds, that I've only dropped in to read up on a few threads.

 

Prayers for Nashville,

Good morning, everyone!! I've been finally able to sleep a bit longer in the morning - getting up  now around 5 instead of 3 or 4 AM. I've had my first cup of coffee - I take a cup for my wife and I into the bedroom at 6 each morning and we do Wordle and Quordle together. On to reading the local paper next.

 

Did some work outside cleaning up for spring yesterday and took our one of our mowers in for service. I am so ready for Spring!

 

Quiet day today, I think.

 

And, @Willow, that is excellent advice. We all get caught up in the negativity sometimes. Life is way too short not to find some joy in every day.

[KymmieL]

Good morning All.

 

Everything is going good with my mom. For me, Mostly bored. Looking to head home first of the week. Willing to give up the nice 80s for the 20-30s.

 

Great picture, @Willow very true.

 

Hugs to all.

Good morning everyone,

The coffee is HOT, black and strong. I am 2/3s of a pot into it now. Working in the shop building a training prop for Illinois State Police, to be delivered this Friday. So this is my quick morning break to check in with my digital family and friends. 💖

Big day for me. Off to plastic surgeon for a BA consult. Nervous as hell. I have low expectations of it. But you never know.

[Rianon]

Good morning, all!

 

I'm smiling –– darn near laughing out loud –– because as I sat at my MacBook with my first cup of coffee (many more to follow!) I had this thought: I can't possibly begin my day's work until I left my greetings on Good morning, All. Coffees on!

 

(So, there, I've done it! Now I can drink my coffee without feeling too guilty. 😊)

 

@happyinvermont I wish you well today! Let us know how the consult goes, will you?

 

Cheers!

I'm sitting here with my second cup and thinking about how long my to-do list is. I'll try for three or four items today.

[April Marie]

I am all dressed up with nowhere to go! Wednesday is my normal therapy day but my therapist is under the weather. She offered to tough it out since I can't reschedule this week but I told her to just relax and get better. 

 

I'm wearing a new yellow popover with flowered sleeves over jeans - and couldn't be happier today. 

 

So, you're stuck with this old grandmother here this afternoon, ladies!!

Busy morning for me. Got a good 9 1/2 hrs of sleep. Had breakfast and enjoyed 2 cups to get me fully started. Did my bike workout and showered. Heading over to my wife's twin sister to do some handygirl tasks. After that reading and relaxing. I'm training for a few triathlons this summer and am back to working out  7 days a week. It really helps with controlling any insomnia.

[Marcie Jensen]

It's been a busy morning for me. I had my therapy session (small world, April), followed by my monthly trip to the salon. Now I'm about to head for a shift at the shelter I volunteer at. I feel like I'm living on coffee today!

 

Miranda, I'm in awe. Triathlons are tough, and the discipline to train for one is admirable. YOU GO, GIRL!

[Willow]

Good afternoon y’all

 

i got through my early shift today. I had to get up at 4:30 @April Marie  so I had time to shower and makeup have some breakfast and most of all my coffee.  Tomorrow I get to sleep later. I don’t start until seven am. I’m actually enjoying working again.  And it’s pretty rare that I get misgendered.  Everyone I work with is very nice.  And having some extra money is nice too.

 

@Miranda I was never much I’d a runner. I did work out on my treadmill to participate in a 5 mile race with my daughter and son but my doctor told me to stop that my knees wouldn’t hold up.  My son is an Iron man several times and has been in several marathons.  At the end of one, he thought he only had a couple of city blocks to the finish line so he started skipping. By the time he realized it was further than he thought he couldn’t stop as he was getting too many cheers. From the crowd and other runners.

 

So I admire your work and applaud you.

 

hugs all

[happyinvermont]

To follow up on my big day with BA consult. It turned out better than I thought. I was thinking I wouldn't have enough breast growth to work with. Once DR looked at me and reported to his scribe I had an A cup. Whole crap. My ex always picked on me because of man boobs. 

So as visit went on he asked if I knew what type I was looking for. Told him silicone. That rules out under arm to big of hole. Then told him under muscle. He said he likes to go on top. The more he looked at my chest and lack of man muscles he said yes below would look good. 

 

So now I have a surgery date of June 13th. Next big hurdle is insurance. If denied they will help me with the appeal. Was a great day

Today is the last day of my prop build for ISP. I down to labels, logos, and Thumb-drive PowerPoint set up. Photo inset it what the finished prop will look like. It's to teach first responders about cargo tanks that haul propane, and anhydrous ammonia. aka an MC-331 Cargo Tank.
