Welcome back Med!

I was thinking of you just today. I did some searches on this site and one of your posts came up. I was wondering how you were. So I was happy to see this post and to find that you are OK.

Thanks everyone. It is nice to know I was missed.

Good to see you're still here. People do come and go, and when they slip away (usually just to rejoin their former lives), we always wonder a bit.

Glad you're getting a new one now, after all the battery issues have been taken care of.

Best wishes,

I hope all goes well for you, Med. I've often wondered how you were doing and missed seeing you around the boards. Sorry about having to have a new pacemaker but, on the otherhand, am glad you are seeing around and needing one. I hope you have a good Thanksgiving today and try not to stress out over this.

Well, welcome back for heaven's sake!!! Was going through my books on religion last week and thought of you when I came to Buddhism. Seems you've been busy in your absence. Maybe you will tell us more as time goes by.

Kind regards,
Blanche

Glad to see you are back! We share a date here! On Dec. 6th when you are having your new pacemaker implanted (18 surgeries!) I will be having a mitral valve replacement and one by-pass (only my second heart surgery!)

I'll send you some positive thoughts on the 6th....before I am "out"!

You are the second old friend who has stopped in to say hey. You sound great. I, too, hope you get ten good years from the new pacer. Nice to see you. The other old friend is HappyHeart dropping in tonight to report and let us know that life is good.
