Well, Herman is gone- his absence is evident. However, SueEllen and Bruce have popped up in several places- mostly at the sites of the rivets holding the mesh in place. Bruce is black with tinges of blue and brown. SueEllen is not nearly as large as Herman however, she has managed to be in about [...]

I’m coming home, I’ve done my time!
I am home. They let me leave but were hesitant to let me earlier because my blood pressure was so low. Now it is back up to around 100/60. I actually had a good time in the hospital and was not in too much pain. Everyone was very nice and they treated me well.
I will [...]

A Good Night
This is Ronnie, again. It’s 6:45am and all is well. Sue had a good night and got as much rest as you can get in the hospital. We had a neat surprise with Pam Streeter coming by last night. She works here in nursing administration and when she saw Sue’s name on the list, she [...]

Resting Comfortably
Hello, this is Ronnie again. It was about 1:30 before they got Sue to a room from recovery. It’s about 5pm now and we are in the “Observation Wing” of the hospital where they keep people that plan on staying 24 hours or less. The first hour or so was a little tough for her. [...]

Herman is History!!!!!
This is Ronnie, Sue is still in recovery and I haven’t seen her yet, but I have spoken with the surgeon. The hernia had gotten quite a bit larger. The last CT scan showed is at about 4cmx4cm, today it was 12cm x 12cm so he had to use a much larger mesh to cover [...]

Beachin’
Ronnie and I just returned from Carolina Beach- what a great time we had! We got down there Thursday night and stayed at Martha’s (my sister) family’s beach cottage. It reminds me so much of when the kids were little and we used to spend the week down there- it totally put us in “relax [...]

Goodbye Herman!
We had a great time celebrating Cindy Hoegg’s 50th birthday this week- she was so surprised! The family pulled off a great one. I loved seeing some “old” friends too- what fun!
We didn’t have bible study this week, so I went to Greensboro to visit all the parents. First, I went to the nursing home [...]

Food, shopping and fun
I had a fun week. We had a brunch at our last day of the Precepts bible study at Meg’s. I was supposed to bring a brunch dish but my cinnamon rolls flopped–so I went without anything- they still let me in. That night, we had a Chocolate Retreat at Tibbie’s for a women’s gathering [...]

Please pray that there will be no complications. Pray for Dr. Enoch’s skill and that he will be well rested, alert and compassionate towards me. (Dr. Enoch is [...]

She flew
I flew to Ohio last weekend to visit Katie and Steve. It was a wonderful trip. Katie led the worship for a women’s conference up there- what a wonderful time of worship we had- it is hard to describe how awesome it was to participate with 500 women passionately worshiping the Lord. The conference was [...]
