To John's Obituary

http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/newsobserver/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=127525451

Now living in Youngsville. My occupation was International Import/Export Customs Regulations/Law for 26 years. Took a very early Retirement. Do need to find a part time job though. To much time on my hands.

Take it one day at a time.  

I have been through so much over the past 2 years including the death of my father, if you knew everything I've been through, you wouldn't believe it. The most important thing I've learned over the past 2 years is no matter what you have been through there is alway's hope and friendship.

Treat people the way you would want to be treated.

The picture of the kitty is Zoe Raine. Persian. See attachments. Updated Pictures Oct 22nd.

Hey Darlin', ooooooh Thursday - it's going to be a rough one and I received your emails - I will email you a little later. I'm sooooo glad you're feeling better, my precious friend. Shine is a great friend. Aren't we lucky to have so many wonderful people in our lives? Love you ------ hugs, hugs, hugs! ♥♥♥♥♥

Hey John - I was worried about my birds. But I bought them a space heater and they did fine last night. The repair people are just packing up, we have heat now.

My daughter made this for me for Valentine's Day. It is to die for.

Preparation 1. Fit piecrust into a lightly greased 9 1/2-inch tart pan; press into fluted edges. Fold any excess dough over outside of pan, and pinch to secure to pan. (This will keep piecrust from sliding down pan as it bakes.) Generously poke bottom and sides of piecrust with a fork, and freeze 20 minutes. 2. Preheat oven to 425°. Place piecrust on a baking sheet, and bake 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool on a wire rack 20 minutes or until completely cool. Gently tap excess crust from sides of pan, using a rolling pin.

3. Microwave white chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1 1/2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring at 30-second intervals.

4. Beat softened cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add melted chocolate, and beat until blended, stopping to scrape down sides. Add Lemon Curd, and beat until blended.

5. Spoon into prepared crust. Smooth filling with a spatula. Chill 4 hours.

Ingredients 1/2 (15-oz.) package refrigerated piecrusts 2 (4-oz.) white chocolate bars, chopped 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened Lemon Curd

hey john!...been getting busy at work...hope you have a great day!...will talk to you soon! :-)

Uh oh! Better go stock up on milk and bread, there's a "slight chance" of wintery mix tonight! If you look at the weather channel's 10 day forecast, it looks like we're in for rain on over half of the days! We may actually be in for some much needed rain in the next week and a half!

You are so very welcome! My Dr wants to do surgery on my collarbone because when I broke it a few yrs back, it didnt heal right. Im thinkin maybe cuz I was riding the 4 wheeler a few months later :-x

Im NOT going to do it thou. I jus deal with it. Now if it were my back, I'd do it of course. I'll be thinkin bout ya!

Oh and I also need a knee replacement but both Dr's I went to said I am too young and to hold out till Im 60!

Go figure.

I wish you luck and a speedy recovery :) remember to do just as your doctor and rehab therapist tells you to do.

That procedure will basically fuse the lumbar disc 5 with the sacral disc 1; they will remove the herniated disc, which is the pain culprit, replace it with bone graft and screw the two together (fusion). This will relieve the pressure from the herniation, which is most likely causing you bad leg pain/burning/tingling/numbness, and keep if from pressuring those nerves anymore. You may get a brace called a TLSO (thoracic-lumbo-sacral orthotic) which you would wear for several weeks while you're up, walking, sitting. You don't need it lying down or sleeping. Most importantly...do the therapy and back exercises to strengthen your back muscles so you won't hurt it again. You may not have injured it, anyway, as you called it degenerative, which just means wear and tear. Most people do fine, my brother is having similar tomorrow. The person who mentioned diapers would have had something different wrong AND done. Don't let people with horror storied scare you.

Saw your blog today and I wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you. Take care and I will keep you in my prayers.

Your back sounds serious, more than mine was, but it looks like you have good drs. I actually injured mine from running. If you have leg pain, it should go away after surgery. Just try to be patient during the recovery. For me, I could not sit comfortably for many weeks, and I just have to be smart about physical activity. Rather than bend, I usually go down to my knees. I always wear out the knees in my jeans. You will learn how to sit comfortably, which may mean reclining somewhat with something firm against your lower back. Having said that, I did alot of construction activity restoring an old house. It may take a year before you feel "normal" . Best wishes, keep us golo friends informed.

John, the surgery went well. It will put you down for awhile. My wife had to walk with the walker for several weeks and you have to bend over when you walk. You can't stand straight up for awhile. I had to help her in and out of bed, off and on the toilet, and she couldn't lift anything for weeks, and only very light things for several weeks after. I hope you have somebody at home to help you out!

Her back overall is good, but she still has back pain every now and then. She had to get a cortizone shot two months ago, but that was the first shot she's had in 8 years.

Her doctors were Dr. Kenneth Rich and Dr. Leonard Nelson.

If you have any questions, please let me know, and I will try and answer them. I hope your surgery goes well!!!!

hey john!...hope you're doing well today...keeping my positive thoughts for you! :-)

Hey! Hope you are doing okay today and not having pain. Let us hear from you and how you're doing! Take care!

good morning john!...how are you feeling?...i will keep sending positive thoughts your way :-)

from what voodooqueen posted, your surgery is pretty significant. My bet is that your greatest discomfort will come from the invasiveness of the surgery itself, and the recovery time will take a while. Sounds like what they are doing will permanently repair the disc problem, which is the best news in the longrun. My very best wishes to you.

Will be praying fore you.God bless you.

Yes it is normale to be nervious but you are going to be just fine.Best of luck and i will be praying fore you.

Good morning. I hope you have a marvelously magnificent Monday. Thinking of you and your weeks ahead. Wishing you the very best of luck.

So you have all the pre-op stuff taken care of? UGH. I'll be thinking of you for sure!

Hang in there and fill us in when your up to it.

You will be in my thoughts! Hope you had a nice weekend :)

I could imagine your nervous. Its normal. I was a wreck just for knee surgery but then again I am one BIG baby!!!

Hang in there my friend!

You will be just FINE!

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow! I'm sure all will go well!!!

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow...we'll all be thinking of you and wishing for the best...

Thinking of you.

Hey GoPanther, my best wishes for you too! When you are better, we should get together.

Susan

/* Lolly runs holding balloons and bunny */

Where are you??? How are you???

Your kitty is beautiful.

Hope you are doing well. I am thinking you should be home by now. I know it may be a while before you feel like logging on. I hope you found instant relief after surgery.

hey john!...hope you're feeling better!...you've got mail...

miss you! :-)

Morning John!! and thanks for responding! I can imagine it's hard to stay up and you wanting to get back to normal so badly. If you could send me your email address, I'll write some more.

Susan

Hang in there John.

If ya werent so far from me Id come help you out some.

Thinkin of you.

Hope you and your family has a wonderful Easter weekend !

hey john!...glad you're feeling better! :-)

hope you have a great day!

Morning John, hope you are somewhat better and staying in good spirits. Sure was a pretty weekend, huh? We cleaned our hot tub, and bought some pepper plants, and went to the Arboretum, and grilled out and generally chilled. I found a free website to file my taxes, so that is semi-done and will be happy to get it finished. I'm just loving the DST and having light when I get home, it makes such a difference in my mental state.

I know it's hard for you to be laid up. Not that this is anywhere near the severity of your back problems, but I was in a head-on collision at age 18, and for about a year afterward I had muscle spasms in my back that sent me to the ER. (I was lucky that my only injuries were a concussion and a scratch.) I was bent over and walked like a crab, and they always stuck a long needle into my hip that I swore went through me AND the table. It finally eased up and later I took a class at the YWCA that taught me how to move and sit and bend properly. (cont'd)

(cont'd) But my back has become somewhat of my "emotional barometer", i.e., when I'm worried, upset, etc. it tends to show up as a backache. So I know that when it hurts, I need to change something.

Do your pets seem to know that you're feeling bad and give you extra attention? My previous set of cats had that ability and they sort of took shifts sitting with me, it was really funny!

Well, getting to be lunchtime, I'd better go. Send me your email address when you can.

Best wishes,

Susan
