I owe you all so many bows of gratitude - hang on while I hook up my O2.... And before I start naming names, Dear Yiddy Yiddy, please know that this is probably gonna be sappy and sanguine so you may want to just skip to the next post of the day.
Now back to my flowerations ~~~ Even Rooers I hardly know came forth to boost me up - Unbelievable

Babe 428, Biker Babe, Trish, Tootsie Pop, MH, your encouragement caught me wonderfully off guard and I will remain beholdin' to you.

PorscheBaby - You came up in my face a few weeks back, no nonsense, just this is me and who are you and already, as a non-prayer sender have sent one for me, just cuz. Yer' somethin'

Lindy, I listened to several renditions, all a little different, all beautiful - Ringraziarla, il mio amico

Anon 503, Mar 4, thank you for bolstering my ever-faltering ego

Stevent! So profoundly happy you are still hanging in here! Thumbs Up!
Aussie Opal - After learning my tests were "severely abnormal" and I might need additional stents, I questioned God why David Letterman's doctor said stents were merely a band-aid, and went straight for the by-pass. I questioned how many times would I have to go back for more band-aids? I questioned if there would be a difference if I was rich and famous instead of scared and pauperish. The big day came, and thinking I would be home in 2 days like last time, I posted lightly, distraught but not dismayed. It was only after entry that it was discovered that my body had, in fact, rejected the stents. Didn't mean to confuse anyone - thanx for strong lifespeaks to recite - my favorite is still "I think I can, I think I can..."

But I have become very partial to "Keep Pumping, Baby!" Oh, tuck...(HS bats eyelashes)
Warped, essex boy, woody, king solomen, I am honored and humbled to be included in your thoughts

HN? "In the short time I have been exposed to HS..." I am still enjoying the image my mind has pleasurably concocted to accompany that comment...

Thank you for your prayer on my behalf.
Special thanks to JaR for well wishes and for fending off Yiddy in my absence. You play that role often and my respect grows for you each time.(HS curtsies with a flair of her hand)
Sassy, there have been so many ways I have felt tied to you - I have been where you are - to spend an evening working the blues out would be incredible. Thank you.
Break for blonde moment: @CC - Cheech and Chong? (Oh, pleez don't let this be humiliating )

As for soreness? That would be the split and wired breastbone. I will never dress a chicken arrogantly again.
BS, DI, and MM - you tough guys continue to keep my lachrymose glands in working order

Simple, the Rockefella's gots nuthin' on you, babe. Your healing heart touches all . Bless you - and who's Neal?
And my friend Jule...Your caring and your prayer and your invite are so heartfelt, the only thing belying the warmth is that it comes from Montana. Been there 7 times and froze 6 of them LOL. I'm gonna look you up next time I'm there. Hugs.

HD, you know what I mean all along the way. I will never have enough smileys for you.

For any that I may have overlooked in this long-winded process, please accept my explanation of some whacky drugs.( I've killed 3 people in the last 3 nights but they have all been performed artistically and rhythmically; beautiful - whaddya think of me NOW???)
Betcha didn't think somebody with no breath could be this long-winded, huh? In summation, I am temporarily tripping over my oxygen tubes, wearing my sexy support stockings, stitched and stapled stem to stern and thinking about what a hot little number I'm gonna be in my cutoffs and tank top this spring...

And I am alive. Thank you, Roo, for being such a part of my life process.(HS extends arms to wrap around each of you and nuzzle some necks while she's at it)
