she is afraid she will wake up and LOVE cookie cakes(which she now detests)...yuckyuck...

Oh crap! I was gonna bake a cookie cake for her and bring it to LCG. Guess I'll have to stick with the ol' reliable and have Dewey help me with another one of those uhh.... "special cakes".


Not a day passes that I don't think about the two of you. Sending get well wishes and prayers your way.

[martha24]

Madjack, you & Marlene are in my prayers for successful surgeries for both of you.

I haven't had time to do much reading on the forum of late, so only read about situation today. I'll keep an eye out for updates.

Been busy down here too but never a day goes past without the thoughts happenin' Jack. That goes for Marlene too Mate.
Cheers

Prayers for you both.

Could be worse, she could wake up and have a new found love for Winnebagos, and detest teardrops.

....told her, with the extra holes in her head, she'll sound like a wiffle ball on a windy day...yuckyuck...told her, it was too bad magnets won't stick to stainless steel, or, at Halloween, she could go as Frankenstein...yuckyuck...told her, the UFO's(or govt) could no longer beam messages directly into her brain...yuckyuck...she is afraid she will wake up and LOVE cookie cakes(which she now detests)...yuckyuck...she named'em...click and clack...yuckyuck...yep, a little humor(especially morbid humor) helps keep the stress at bay.........

Jack...........................

Tell her I have a "hole in my head" and that she will not sound like a wiffle ball, not only will she have ss mesh but probably some titanium screws to hold it in place, and I've had no problems with the with the "gubernment" beaming messages into my brain. I can't comment on the cookie cakes as I've rarely met a cake I didn't like.

I once read about a surgery for my condition that involved removing a two inch square piece of skull (versus the small hole I have now). That was kinda scary. My brother, a surgeon, said: "They put it back"!

Good luck,

Gus

Jack, sorry to hear about your problems.

Just thought you'd be interested: My uncle had a brain aneurysm in 1968. They had to do surgery. He never had a problem afterwards and he is 75 year old now.

[Catoosa Grani]

Well, I am sure that the surgery is over and everything went well. Too many people praying for anything to go wrong. We are still praying for both of you and wanting to see you. Tell Marlene I miss her and love her, you too Jack.
