Hi, all! I have been lurking but not posting too much. AOL is constantly bumping me and it has been going on for a couple of weeks now.

Talked to DinL today and they already lost power at 9 am. They still had their telephone so I was able to check up on them. While we were talking, they lost the radio stations, so they can't get updates. They are really worried about flooding and tornadoes right now. Their county wasn't evacuated, but the one next to them was. Most of their neighbors have stayed too, so they are not alone. The drainage ditches are full and the water is on their lawn so far. Luckily they live in a colonial, so they can go upstairs if it gets bad. I will keep checking up on them throughout the day.

I am hoping the weather isn't too bad here tomorrow so I can get to the doctor to check out my foot. We are supposed to have heavy rain and winds (60 mph) here until noon tomorrow. My appointment is at 1:45, so I may luck out if we have power. I have been having more pain lately...supposed to be a sign of healing. I am sure the weather has something to do with it. A decision will be made tomorrow to whether to take the pins out or not. I think that is why I am having so much discomfort. Foot swells a lot at night too. My leg is getting so mushy and small. I always wanted thinner thighs, but not this way.

I am going to sign off and shut down the computer in case we lose power. Want to make sure ahead of time.

Have a good day all!

Hi, Grace. I sure hope all works out well for you and your family. I wonder if you might have a virus that keeps bumping you off the computer. That's what happened when we had one. A warning message would come on sometimes telling us that we had 60 seconds until it was going to close down. You could email or call AOL about how to handle it.

Keep us posted on your foot progress. I hope the pain is a sign of healing.

Take care and post when you can.

Hugs,

Rhonda

Good to see you.
