If I have a trade with you and you haven't received my end, I'm sorry. I've been in the hospital having emergency kidney surgery for the last 8 days.
The doctor wasn't sure he could save my kidney, which was filled with infection and a big yeast mass containing several stones. The only way to treat it was to operate, which they did on Mon and Tues., two very painful surgeries. I finally came home yesterday, but with the pain and the drugs, I'm pretty useless, just lying around much of the time, blissfully unconscious much of the time.
For the next two weeks, I'm not supposed to do anything at all but lie/sit around and sleep. The incision has to heal on its own (no stitches) so I'm not even supposed to bend.
My sister has been here with me, at the hospital and at home, and when I can think better, she may help me send out any trades I have outstanding. I have mailed most of them, as I'm usually pretty prompt, knowing the uncertainty of my health. But I may have missed one or two of you. If so, please contact me to remind me. And maybe my sis can help me pack and mail your seeds Mon or Tues.
Soon, very soon, I'm going to be better than I've been in years. The doc managed to clean out my kidney and it looks clear. So I shouldn't have anymore kidney problems once this all heals. I'm rather excited to finally be free of the pain and the disruption to my life.
If I owe you, don't hesitate to contact me immediately while my sis is here to help. And thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

TO MY TRADERS - I'VE BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL
Nancy,

I hope you will be up and digg'n in the dirt soon!!
Take care of you :o)

No trades going for us, just wanted to send my prayers and wishes for a speedy and full recovery!
Please keep us posted!
Thank you all for your best wishes. I've been in so much pain and so tired. Thank goodness for "good drugs". I hope within a week to be off the drugs because they make me so useless. I can't do much else than sleep, but at least when I'm sleeping, I feel no pain.
My incision finally sealed itself overnight so it's not draining anymore. What a mess that was. I'm feeling much better today, but just so tired. My little sister is here babying me, and I'm gonna miss that when I'm finally well. LOL But I honestly can't wait to get well enough to even care about the weeds growing outside right now. In a week, I'm sure I'll be fighting the impulse to go pull those nasty buggers. For now, I'll just sleeeeeeep...
Thank you all for thinking of me.

Hope you are feeling better. Take care and do what the Doctor says.
I am doing much better these days. I still tire very easily and can't do much of anything. Even just touring my gardens and taking pictures of the newest bloomers wears me out. I'm still in some pain, but it's lessening.
I can't wait to get outside and banish those weeds that continue to grow and laugh at me. Soon, I'll be wiping that smirk off their faces. LOL
I've read more magazines and watched more TV in the past week or so than I have in my whole life! When I regain my strength, I know I'll go stir crazy. KathyAnn and I are already planning a trip to the Memphis Botanical Gardens as soon as I'm able. Hope it's soooooon!
