i am sure your wife was very concerned and worried about you!

were you at home when this happened?

stress can really do a number on a person's heart.
the body can only handle a certain amount of stress until it effects your health.
while you are recovering, take it as easy as you can.
and if you start to fret about anything, start thinking about your week in orlando next summer.
you have some fun to look forward to.


you have a very full life ahead of you.
you'll be better as time progresses.
i keep you in my prayers.

for me, i'll be healing for the next few weeks.
my biopsy will not be back until november 30th.
my stitches come out in another week or 10 days.
i was pretty drugged up so i can't remember everything the surgeon told me.
Mr Mac was upset and he didn't remember everything the doc said so i have to wait until i go back in to his office.
he was just happy that even though i had complications during surgery, i will be fine.
what i went in for was to be a 45 minute surgery, maybe 60, but it turned out to be 3 hours.

i feel like i have been in a drunken stupor.
in and out of being awake until late today.
i wrote myself a note on wednesday night to be sure to be awake at 8 tonight for watching Walking Dead.
go ahead and laugh about that but i do have my priorities.

Mr Mac had surgery again on tuesday.
mine was thursday. son is having surgery on monday/tomorrow.

i have to drive him for this but the doc told me i could try to move around more on monday. i take that as i can drive tomorrow.........

i'm taking it as easy as i can this week and the next.
we are not doing a turkey day on thursday.
i can't cook and i plan on having sandwiches on paper plates......
or open a can of anything and call that dinner.

it is not an issue for us.
none of us here are in top form and we really can't eat that much at this time.

I was at home and DW has t beg me to let her call 911 and would not leave when I was in icu until I told her I was fine and then returned the next day when I got a room and her and my youngest DS stayed with me for 9 hours
But I am doing good and only had to take 2 nitro pills since I been home and so glad to hear your ok Mac

It's been long enough that even the old ones felt new again. I was in heaven.

Aww glad you had such a wonderful time. RPR is such a beautiful resort

But any way I hope Mac has a speedy recovery and she is in my prayers

Glad to hear you`re feeling better. It is so hard not to stress about things, but I wish you well Yes that would be scary to find you had died a little. Very frightening thought.

the darkside or the grand prix.....



my bet is on the darkside.

you have a wonderful trip planned for new york in about 4 months.
have you started working on that yet?

F1 or Darkside.....oooooh!!!!

Well 4 days in Texas or 17 in Orlando........have to be Darkside. Although I do love F1. But my guy is retiring again after next week My other guy was 2nd yesterday.

No definite plans for NY yet. My niece and I have drawn up some things we want to do but nothing in concrete. It`s creeping up though. My mum is so excited too. But once we are into next year, planning will commence

Still haven`t booked our RPR accommodation yet for Sept. Will be doing that soon too

Glad to see you online and you`re doing better after such an op. As always sending you big hugs And good luck to DS for his today

Sandwiches sound good for Thursday

Yes thanks much better. But poor DS has started again with a cough/sore throat. We are all fed up with this virus just hanging around us.

How are things in the Mac household today??? Getting better I hope

[macraven]

it's been 24 hours now since son had surgery.
he has been asleep since 8 this morning.

I love marmalade.........every morning with 2 slices wholemeal toast and Breakfast tea

My despise list could get real long too.......but the highlights........

Bananas.......just nasty.
Beans.........any kind at all.
Chick Peas
Green Beans
Blue Cheese
Honey........unless it`s Honey Mustard dressing.
Desserts with alcohol in them......even though I like desserts and I like alcohol........just never together.
Peanut Butter.
Nuts. Except Pistachio.
Tinned Tuna.

I`m sure there`s more

[macraven]

add yogurt, parmesan and blue cheese to my list keisha...

[keishashadow]

interesting that i enjoy all the food-stuffs you guys listed

i go in spurts as to liking sushi, have been craving it and enjoyed a fair share of it pre-game last week. I'm told it's not fattening but "they" lie

I hate coconut (the taste, texture and even smell). Tripe is sooo gross and looking at liver & onions makes me queasy, but i cook them both when requested. Also, not a fan of the seven fishie meal that's popular on Christmas Eve, tradition or not.
