Thank you so much for your understanding ...George…<br /><br />Thank you so much for your understanding words. Really, we had a pretty good and fun vacation, all in all. Just not the vacation we'd planned. And you're right, health issues can see to take over your life sometimes. But I'm fairly unsinkable. I try and make the best to things—and while I'll whine to beat the band for awhile…I can't keep from whistling for too long. Life is too wonderful, too filled with wonder and joy and hope to allow circumstances to keep you down forever. I sense you share much the same life outlook. Love, friendship, and sycamores dancing in the river will trump almost anything given a measure of time.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-74113864363926964542010-09-21T18:37:13.193-04:002010-09-21T18:37:13.193-04:00Well, Grizz, having read your post and the comment...Well, Grizz, having read your post and the comments, especially those of our friend, Robert, The Solitary Walker, I don't quite know where to begin. The problem is that, regardless of the weather, it seems that many of us have some nagging health issues — your eyes, your ladylove's bug and respiratory issues, Robert's vitreous detachments and ear problems, my own recent problems with "floaters" from vitreous detachments, and my own ladylove's throat, sinus, and chest problems that have left her sidelined for two weeks. On the asset side of the agenda, however, we have those sycamores dancing in the river next to your cottage; we have friendships through which we can express our grievances with the universe; and we have the knowledge that all things pass, including those pesky things like health issues, hot temperatures, and disruptions of vacations.<br />Here's hoping the the autumn will rain blessings upon you and your ladylove.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-64840524085380037332010-09-21T17:03:08.118-04:002010-09-21T17:03:08.118-04:00Carolyn…

One final fling at vacation madness! <br /><br />Myladylove now has new pills for what ails her. Perhaps they will help both her upper respiratory and sinus infection, and do something for the inner ears problems and her balance and occasional nausea.<br /><br />I've just called the optometrist and found out the new contacts which were supposed to be in last week have now arrived, but that the doctor is out of town (no doubt vacationing with his wife on some congested freeway) and will not darken the doorway of his office, or tend to my vision needs, until the END OF NEXT WEEK! <br /><br />Sorry to hear you're having both hearing and vision problems. I've never had the inner-ear deal, or been seasick, but I've had a couple of large floaters in one eye—and I hated that like the plague. I wish you well, my friend. (And I will catch up on your posts.)Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-48291801032924883692010-09-21T15:51:31.774-04:002010-09-21T15:51:31.774-04:00Griz: Yay!!

I, like you dislike the heat of summer and agree that 75 degrees is the limit. phew. Your treks about and leisurely afternoons duct tape or not sounded delightful. :-)<br /><br />Love to you and your lady love<br />Gail<br />peace, hope and healing.....<br /><br />P.S. I am still on the mend, perhaps I have reached a new "abnormal-normal"!!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337675996256691215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-40375286766172018982010-09-21T08:47:57.294-04:002010-09-21T08:47:57.294-04:00Sometimes you just have to tell 'em, Jim!

I sympathize once more with your continued eye problems (I myself have constant and annoying problems with 'floaters' dislodged from the vitreous) and with Yourladylove's ear problems. Having some hearing problems, too, at the moment, and it just places you in an unbalanced and isolated world.The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.com
