Are you scared?
7:01amTerri

and pathetic how ssorry i'm feeling for myself. and yes, terrified, and with all this my vision may not come back
7:02amPatrizia

You're not pathetic at all. I think you're very brave.

This IS terrifying.

Health -- as my senile Jewish grandmother used to remind me -- is everything
7:03amTerri

thanks, and thanks to glaxosmithkline, or any other of the pharmaceuticals that make my life possible.

7:06amPatrizia

What do you like? Chick lit? Mysteries? Self-help? Malcolm Gladwell?
7:08amTerri

thank you! 2036 Pratt Court, Evanston IL 60201, and all of the above i'm sorry to say, well, light on the self help and i've read MG's earlier books, and i just love memoirs on dysfunctional families, I recommend The Glory of it All if YOU haven't read it.

makes me feel so much better about my family!
7:09amPatrizia

Have you read Mary Karr, The Liar's Club, Cherry?
7:09amTerri

have you read the chatter on the HCHS boards? makes me cringe i'm sorry to say, reminds me of why i was so unhappy there.

no, and Liar's club has been on my want-to list for years.
7:10amPatrizia

Haven't read it. Will check it out. Only person I remember from the membership rolls is Lillian Hufnagel.

I will send you Mary Karr then. You'll like her. CRAZY mother...
7:10amTerri

Faith Wender she used to be Harriet.
7:11amPatrizia

Hang in there, Mizz Terri. Sending you lots of long-distance best-friends-from-long-ago-childhood LOVE & SUPPORT

Harriet Wender! Yes, that's familiar.

Gotta go scream at the 14 year old and remind him that jeans are cinched at the waist not the knees.
7:12amTerri

7:13amPatrizia

Be well, dear. I have good feelings about the surgery.
