Rosr, it's wonderful to see you on here. It's
about 4:30am here. Like you, I check in with GIC first thing in the morning. I also
take the phone with me to my different
places, like the local cafe, or sitting on a
bench by the ocean ( the same bench
upon which Linda & I sat), then again at
bedtime, and , finally, sometimes in the
middle of the night, to see if any of my
friends, TGW, are awake. I look forward
to being with friends on the boardwalk of
my art colony town. One of my best buddies, is a married guy ( of 50 years, no
children). We're the same age. I met him
one day, while he was playing drums ,
softly, in the backroom of a cafe. He is
outgoing. The place was closing for the
day, so there were no customers, and we
started chatting about everything: God,
my wife of 25 years, Linda, our country,
the veterans ( neither of us served in the
Vietnam war, but support our military
and first responders, incl. police and
firefighters). We reminisce about our
boyhood, with vivid detail, talk about
music bands , singers , and movies we saw,
in the late 1960s & early 1970s. We laugh
easily, but talk , also, about our physical
aches & pains ( like a couple of old men,
though we don't look , or act, like our
age). Thank you for remembering about
my leg. I went to my kind nurse practioner,
the same one that Linda & I went to see
together. I had prayed that my leg wasn't
infected. She suggested I go to the ER if
it still hurt, which it did, after 2 weeks.
God answered my prayers, bc it's not
infected, healing nicely, and doesn't hurt.
Meanwhile, I go to 2 female. physical
therapists ( PTs) for balance issues, bc
I take some necessary meds which can
slow my reaction time. They are good
for helping me sleep at night, but I
sometimes get up briefly & respond to
other GW , in different time zones, like
yours. As you can see by my posts to
my brother Gary, and long time friends,
including Deb, Karen, Patti, & Robin,
who I've known the longest, I feel
restless. After 3 & a half years, I may be
ready to meet another woman, as Linda
wanted for me, if anything happened
to her, Even though I was tired, I walked to
my cafe last night, bc it has a dinner &
live band every Friday night. Even though
I was alone at the small bar ( I don't
drink anymore, I was greeted warmly
by the staff). I'll go back to sleep now.
Please feel free to write to me anytime,
Rose. Lou
