"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming.
Carla has been a dear friend since before we came to this Garden. and she is such a caring lady, in her life and in her work. i had a heart attack on Dec. 18. i had to have three stents placed into my coronary arteries. this was a horrible shock for me and those i love, and i am hoping it's not the end of a career. i will know in 6 weeks as i recover. this is deemed stress-related and my sheriff dept. will take care of me during these weeks. i am relatively young and never had a problem like this. i had to call out our rescue guys and they were great, i could not cooperate with them , i was in too much pain. they had to cut off my clothes (which they always wanted to do :rolleyes: ) and tbe 911 call went out over the scanners and radios so the whole sheriff dept. knew and some met me in ER. it was touch and go until i was taken to OR. anyway, i am home now, Carla threatens to come to my house and be the nurse from hell :-4 , and i wish everyone a happy holiday, i am very glad to be here.
They don't call me nurse RACHET for nothing..!! You need lots of rest, and peace and quite..!!
I'M SO GLAD YOUR HERE AS WELL, YOU ARE A LUCKY LADY TO HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO CARE FOR ABOUT YOU..!! NOW GET IN BED...AND REST..!! :-4

I will pray for your speedy recovery. God is very kind and you should not worry as He is on your side. The prompt medial relief you got is an indication of that.
LadyCop is a good friend of mine too.........Carla and I love her! The only reason Carla should be taking care of her is that Carla is a LOT younger than I am.
I'd probably drop her I helped her into bed! ...........
Seriously...........Lady is some lady. She's simply the best. I just sent her an email telling her to behave herself...cause I know she hates' being out of things.
Get well soon LC, and rest and relax and all that :-6
Have to ask, did you have an English surgeon?
I'm now wondering if you had the new stent surgery, not sure what's so different about it, but one of our surgeons is flying backwards and forwards teaching and doing the ops.
If it was the new one you most likely had a good few people observing the operation, they all get really excited when it's being performed :-3
Bad Girls have very high standards, but they love you even if you sometimes fall short.
i have wonderful loving friends here, for which i am very very grateful, and yes it's easy for Carla and Lovemama to threaten me when i'm weak , haha, they wouldn't dare otherwise! ...funny, Letha asked about English surgeon...my sweetheart is an Englishman, and he was on the internet first thing checking out the credentials of my (excellent) American surgeon. i don't think i am allowed to "eat, drink, and be merry" in the Christmasy sense, but a quiet Christmas suits me fine right now...to all who send me good wishes, THANKYOU! :-4 and may your holiday be joyful and bright!
From another workaholic forced kicking and screaming into withdrawal by a medical emergency, it helps a little to imagine (true or not, does'nt matter) that your fellow workers will be forced to do the part of their jobs that you had been doing.
Accept what you can't change, Christmas and loved ones have a tremendous healing effect, savor the good.
..............Peace and healing be on you, Merry Christmas.............
Old age and treachery, is an acceptable response to overwelming youth and skill

Blessings LC and so nice to see you maintain your wonderful sense of humor.
Put your feet up girl and let others look after you for awhile.
This is such a crappy time of the year to get bad news. Got word this morning my dear friend in the UK is going to have a crummy christmas as her dear cousin was among one of those severely injured in Mosul Iraq. Yes he was in "that" Mess Tent. So awful.
I just want to say Blessings to all for the holiday season and put out extra special thoughts to those out there in less pleasant situations. Peace Please.
�You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.�
Just bumpin' to wish LC a good Christmas eve. What a lousy thing to happen at Christmas time. I was hopin' you'd be listening to the Pogues' Fairy tale of New York. Heck......you can listen to that AFTER Christmas when you're feeling better.
Love ya.........take it easy and get some rest, rest, rest.
Got my daughter Annie a Panini sandwich maker so........during she and twin's birthday tomorrow I'll be making panini's.............for the guests. I'll eat one myself LC for you!
:-4 THANKYOU EVERYONE! so much! ....Lovemama. i had to order the pogues from amazon, i'll get it before new year's. good enough!... and Amra! hi sweetie!!! i hope you and everyone here has a lovely holiday....i am going to enjoy a quiet one which is fine. my most sincere greetings to all at forumgarden!! xoxoxoxox
There's always a reason to be thankful and nothing like illness to make you appreciate life. Hope you, and everyone else, have a warm and love filled holiday.
I rec'd the email on Thursday Night. I have lit a candle and said extra prayers for my friend on the east coast...
Do what the Dr. says and you will make a full recovery.. My42 yr old sister in law had open heart surgery two years ago. She had an aortic valve replacement and is doing great now. YOU WILL TOO
Best of everything in the New Year ... and I mean "EVERYTHING" :wah:
"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."
Not one person up in my house, it's only 6:30 in the morning and all the present's are wrapped. Hopefully in about 3 hours most of the kids will be here ...and I say kids........mine are grownup but that's what us mama's still call them. :-6

Sorry I am just finding this thread tonight as I have been on holiday ~ LadyCop you had a heart attack on my 40th Birthday makes me very sad, I was at Disney (The happiest place in the world) and I feel terrible that I didn't find out until much later. Glad you are feeling better now, take good care of yourself.

hey Cassie...you didn't know! i LOVE :-4 you and Carla and Lovemama and Amra, and American girl and Gabs and everyone, you had no way of knowing until later and i am glad you had a good time! we'll talk more honey!
Thanks for your good wishes LoveMama and all friends on FG.
In New Delhi, christmas was also celebrated in a temple. The temple was decorated with christmas buntings and people from all communities joined the celebrations. It is an Indian gesture to symbolise the co-existence of different faiths in a harmonious manner. With God's idol in the background religious leaders cut a cake and comunity dinner was organized.
just one more FG member wishing you well soon:) From a fellow "Peace Officer" even if I'm not out on the street. I get them in the jail after your done with them if they are under 18 or have no adult charges.
And
Suresh Gupta
"With God's idol in the background" hum? I thought only humans had idols? Which idol is God's. Does He know He has an "idol"? Kind of scarry stuff your doing 'cuz the old testoment says that God is jealous. Hopefully your "custom" does not spread here in the USA. In addition to praying for Ladycop I pray that this dangerous custom does not spread. The real God that made heaven and earth is loving but I would not want to get Him angery.

Which dangerous custom you are talking about? And God does never get angry.
Hi Lotto..thankyou for good wishes...and happy new year to everyone here! i notice you are involved with juvenile corrections...interesting. i am in florida too, my sheriff does not hold juvies unless they have been adjudicated as adults, they are a big pain in the butt to incarcerate because of their rights to privacy, when one gets arrested the whole jail has to stop functioning until they are moved out....the entire facility has to lock down when one goes to the nurse or whatever. they are also mouthy. i do not care to have anything to do with them if i can avoid it.

Thanks Paula, I am OK. But it is a great tragedy for my country and my people.

Suresh so glad to see you are alright! You had us all worried, being in the midst of such a incomprehensible misfortune!!! :-1 Our thoughts & prayers are with all of you!
Suresh Gupta wrote: Thanks Paula, I am OK. But it is a great tragedy for my country and my people.
Surest Gupta. I too am so glad that you wern't in that part of India. It is so tragic what happened and everyone here in the US are so concerned. My son travels every year to Indonesia for a wonderful surfing trip. He surf's on a board and the waves there are magnificient! I would have gone crazy if he had been there when this happened. I don't believe we'll ever know how many were killed.
Already I've read that there are over 2000 Americans not accounted for. I think that figure is probably high but that is what I read in the news today.
We have one young man who live's very close to me that made it......he was with fiance and they were able to get high on a hill........
God Bless all these families...........so sad, so many children lost!
SO GLAD YOU ARE OK.. YES YOUR COUNTRY HAS SUFFERED SO...!! I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY SINCE THIS HAPPENED..!!

The tragedy, no doubt, occurred in my country and other neighbouring countries but it has affected people from other parts of the world also, the tourists to Tsunami affected areas. My heart goes to all of them. May God rest their souls in peace.
