He sounded so tired, but I got to talk to him !!!


He can't see anything out of his right eye anymore ( not even light & dark), but he does have 20/25 in his left. He will never see again out of his eye, he has massive retinal damage. He told me what happened. He was standing next to a dumptruck that just had been retreaded and was stationary. The dang tire just blew up in his face. OSHA has the tire

Glad to hear you got to talk to your brother. That is weird how the tire just blew out like that.

I am also glad that you are feeling a bit better.

I'm sorry to hear that he won't be able to see out of that eye again.

That is sweet that you told him we are all praying for him. I still am praying for healing and strength for him.

How are you doing robin?

xo,

Laurie

I'm so glad that your little brother is alive and ok, Wobin. I know that you're relieved that he's still here with y'all.

There David is in the hospital, drugged, in pain, and blind and guess what he was worried about ? Me !!! He wanted to know about how I was after my hospital stay ( which was worse than I let y'all know ... I was given my last rights after my BP

Thanks so much for all your prayers, our family really apprieciate y'all thinking of us during this very hard time. From what I understand, they are really doing a bang up job on the tire. They want to know what happened as much as us. The compensation will be a blessing, but it will be nothing compared to what that poor thing is going thru. Today was the first day he realized he is blind. I just want to be there to hug him tight. I don't care if he is turning 40 in a week, he will always be my lil' Bro ( his nickname since we were little ). When he torks me out is the only time I call him David Paul, LOL ! I am so happy he is alive :)


Many huggles & smooches,

Robin

Robin,

I had no idea that you were so sick. I new you were very sick, but not that sick.

I was pretty worried when we heard you were in the hospital. You should have told us how sick you were. I am so glad that we did not lose you. I think you are such a sweetheart and I wish that you wouldn't have so many worries right now. You need to take care of yourself and get plenty of rest.

My cardioligist told me to walk everyday too.

Of course your brother (David Paul is also my cousin's name) is worried about you. We all are/were/am.

I hope you are feeling much better. I do like your idea of an island vacation. Just relaxing and reading and walking.

Have you ever done guided imagery. My therapist makes guided imagery tapes for me.

They really are relaxing.

I like what you told your stbx. (Funny and to the point.) Was he mean to you? Abusive??

I hope not, but I don't know the whole story.

Feel free to e-mail me sometime. didoangst@aol.com.

I am feeling pretty good actually. I am on a good diet and I think it helps to make me feel better. It is really easy to follow to and I don't feel like I am dieting. I just have to watch salt, sodium, sugar and calories, but it is not as hard as it sounds.

We also have learned how to seasone the food so that it is very yummy.

E-mail me sometime and tell me more about you and the stbx, I'd like to hear more about you if you don't mind. I don't mean in a nosey sort of way.

Some people tell more than other here and I enjoy hearing about other people's lives.

Okay enough rambling here.

Take care,

Hugs,

Laurie

Oh, ok. I was just curious about that. I don't want to be a pest. Take your time.

Your welcome. I just wanted to help that's all.

Hugs!
