<p>I second what Threekids said. I am a lurker but am always checking up on you, latetoschool. There are so many wonderful, inspirational posts that I feel pretty outclassed in that area. My prayers are with you each and every day.</p>

<p>I guess matches or small candles are out of the question?</p>

<p>Ask your docs to make sure the bloating isn’t caused by kidney malfunction.</p>

<p>Hey LTS,</p>

<p>Another voice in the chorus asking that you please keep posted to keep us updated as to how you are doing. There is an adage that your life is a gift from God but what you do with your life is your gift to God. You have no idea as to how many lives this thread has touched and how many people you have been a blessing to as you share your story. As you know I don’t post often, but that does not mean that you are ever far from my thoughts and the thoughts plenty of other nameless faceless people. </p>

<p>Not everything in Sinners Alley off-topic & waste of time. Yes, even there we raise drinks to you and are in awe at your strenght and the grace that you have shown/ Yes there have even been a couple of drinks invented in your name and honor for you to enjoy in your garden. </p>

<p>I talk to my daughter and others about you as I know you IRL and like others, I lurk every day and I do worry if we don’t hear from you and always keep you in my prayers. I think that you are indeed a tie that binds us as a community and I thank GOD for you. No matter what happens, please remember that you are not alone.</p>

<p>I can relate to Threekids and my thoughts of LTS throughout the day. </p>

<p>Months ago I asked my Bible Study group to keep a person named “LatetoSchool” in their prayers. Thousands of miles away from you, they ask about you and pray for you each Thursday morning. There is something pure about engaging in positive thoughts for someone you’ve never met or seen, and whose real identity you do not know, that empowers the prayer as well as the prayed for.
Good night LTS.</p>

<p>LTS, I’m not surprised that karma played to your advantage regarding the AC disaster at your home. You are an old soul. Old souls are those whose place in the world is to teach others, as you have done here, with so much grace. Karma will continue to be positive because you have a lot more to teach in the future.
Wishing you a good night and a good day tomorrow.</p>

<p>F.O.LTS, I only wish I could find the vocabulary to adequately describe just exactly how vulcanic this situatation is. Kidney function is coming back normal on tests
but
that’s not necessarily proof positive, and, I have surgery scheduled August 5 to replace the stent that was installed in March.</p>

<p>Sybbie, does Sinners Alley actually have a topic? LOLOLOL. I need to visit there, it sounds like a fun place - what I usually do is check the posts and threads here, then the parent’s board, then the financial board, then the international board. I do not usually visit any others, because I know I cannot help anyone who is trying to find a college, etc. I am competent in knowledge about exactly one college - my daughter’s - the others, I would have no idea how to recommend, except, they all sound like wonderful, exciting places to me. But I know I can sometimes help answer financial questions.</p>

<p>I hit post too fast - lol - oh well, I am being discharged tomorrow, and so will make the transition back to home. I am feeling better in terms of breathing but in goofy condition because of physical inactivity, so, daughter and I have been walking the halls, and climbing one flight of stairs in order to try to get my body back in some sort of shape. My insurance covers physical therapy so we will do that too. </p>

<p>She is a little concerned about me - we were goofing around tonight; she asked me if I wanted to wear a particular pair of socks tomorrow, and I said no. She asked why, and, just because I have a weird sense of humor, I told her that I didn’t want to wear them because they aren’t purple. She said huh??? - and I told her very calmly and rationally that I only want to wear purple socks from now on, I made the decision, and it’s final. </p>

<p>After some discussion she told me that on Monday, apparently, I told her that I am the legitimately elected president of the United States. Bush didn’t really win; it’s been me all along. She got worried and raced to my doctors. They told her I am passing all cognitive tests; it’s the chemical brew.</p>

<p>We are going to address this tomorrow. I am apparently on a lot of different drugs and some of them appear to be duplicates of others. I can tolerate this chemical stew no longer - it’s turning into the mess that Calmom warned about way back in single digit posts - so - we have to fix this. </p>

<p>Thank you very much for all of the support I have received here - I sincerely appreciate it.</p>

<p>Oh lol, I can just picture it. LTS demanding her right of access to the Oval Office, while wearing purple socks.</p>

3791

<p>

</p>

<p>LOL! What’s this with presidents? When I had my surgery and the nursing staff wanted to find out if I had all my cognitive abilities, I was asked the name of the president. If I had been asked the day of the week, I might not have remembered correctly.</p>

<p>I have to say, this is the one thread where I was not expecting anything political!:)</p>

3792

<p>LTS
you sure have your wits about you when you post. </p>

<p>However, I will hold tight to the image of you with purple socks and red high heels and running and jumping hurdles on your way to the White House.</p>

3793

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s because purple is the color of royalty and you are indeed a Queen.</p>

<p>Long live and all hail the Queen ;)</p>

3794

<p>^^^ With the red heels? :)</p>

<p>Oh my darling LTS, I know exactly how volcanic your weeks, days, hours and minutes are. You post them with such clarity, wit and grace. Then there are the other writers posting stories and inspirational quotes, even meditative musings. This is the stuff of life, your heart wrenching yet truly beautiful online storey, every word fabricated on the back of your generousity and humanity, your personal volcano. </p>

<p>I hope you feel the love coming your way. Your D doesn’t know us–or even of us (you are a genius at stealth apparently!)–yet I can’t be alone in sending her silent blessings as she sprints down the hall to consult with professionals twice her age. </p>

<p>Go get 'em LTS Jr. We’ve got your ‘cyber’ back.</p>

3796

<p>^^LOL yes, I am a genius at stealth. It pays the bills, and, I am grateful to have a marketable skill set. Thank you for sending her such love and blessings. She is 24 years old.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Hilarious. Way to keep’em guessing lts. It’s good for the soul. (Just checking on you. Don’t mind me. ;))</p>

<p>I had a situation where I was being prescribed a drug cocktail and I asked the doc “This stuff won’t make me see Elvis, will it?” She looked at me with furrowed brow and asked in a serious tone “Do you often see Elvis?” I had to change docs. She never looked at me the same again.;)</p>

3798

<p>Have a great homegoing, LTS!</p>

<p>I, too, check here first and last of the day.</p>

<p>Curmie, thanks for the out-loud chuckle to get my 12 hour ER shift started.</p>

3799

<p>Curm:</p>

<p>And you want docs to have a sense of humor as well as medical expertise??? :)</p>
