Thanks, paulie. No need to apologize. We're still waiting for tests to be completed, but we'll be visiting her tomorrow. I'll know more after that. She's in Chester County. The Chester County Hospital is in West Chester, PA.
Trying to not worry about cal. Things usually take longer than expected, but I didn't think it would take this long to get an update.

[johoward]

Cal said she would not be phoning, but would watch here for contact.  So we will have to be patient until we hear from her.  If she is delayed getting home because she needs TLC she is in the right place.  Her fur babies will be ok.  Cal's needs have to come first now. 
I will just keep the faith that she is getting the care she needs and God willing will be back in touch fairly soon.
Prayers going out for sister too this evening.  Nan, give her a hug from the RRP friends when you see her.
The time for me to cruise the animal cams is here.  Only the Snowman will have action this late, but I will look in just to see the birds sleeping and to read any chats I missed.
I may not get back in here.  I have to get up at 5AM to get that kitty to the vet by 8AM in Kent. It is at least an hour away even if I don't get lost again.
 So I will say GN and GBU now.

Hi nan, Oh okay to West Chester. Good that you'll be visiting her tomorrow. I said a prayer for her.

Agreed about not thinking it would take this long to get an update  but as long as she's coming along good and returning home eventually that's very good. We know cal's going to have some stories to tell that's for sure!! 

[paulie]

Hi jo, Okay no phone. Agreed we will have to be patient and cal's needs come first of course. Also agreed she's in the best place if additional TLC is needed. Enjoy cruising the Snowman cam. Whoa to getting up at 5AM. It's very nice what you're doing tomorrow. Get some good sleep. Don't get lost.

Thanks for the prayers for my sister, Paulie and Jo. She knows my connection to RRP for all these years, and I'll give her an extra hug from my friends here. Jo, I appreciate what you do for the animals. Safe travels tomorrow.
We'll be very relieved and happy when we see your post here, Cal. Virtual hugs from all!
Goodnight, everyone.

 It is 5:40am.  Nothing on snow, but feeder is down.  So bear was here in the night.
GM EV1 especially Cal.  Need to get dressed yet so I am not late for kitty trip.  Coffee and cereal on board.  So I am ready for the road. GBU EV1 Especially you, Cal.  If you are reading this I know you are on the mend.

Good morning Cal.  Did your pets miss you do you think?
You cannot believe how glad I am to see you here. That marathon post says it all.  Sounds like you at your best. I really need to go though.  So I will be back later to do puzzle.  Thank God.
GBU EV1

[nanimal]

Yay, so glad to see you here, cal! Many thanks to Jim for helping you. I can't improve on Jo's comments about your marathon post - classic cal! Please take it easy today. Thanks for the good wishes for my sister. Going to see her today. She reminds me of you!

[johoward]

Hi, It's near 11 oclock.  Very nice out.  Warm and slight breeze.  Puzzle went together well for me. It took only 4:24.  Probably because I am fully awake for a change.
I'm Back from taking Fuzz the giant cat to Kent.  Trip went well.  Fuzz needed tooth work I guess. He, or she was very heavy and big.
 Was a twisty turning kind of route.  No wonder I was always lost on my earlier trips.  Two intersections had 6 streets branching in all directions.  Another one was a round about.  My guide was not easy to ride with, but we made the most of it and were back by about 9AM.  Cost $4 in tolls, and drove 106 miles all together.
 I will use this route again with confidence.  The group has posted two more trips there for next week.  I will think about that over the weekend.
Thanks for posting Cal.  Makes my day seeing your familiar puzzle and dog shame.  I know on your end things are not quite "normal", but soon your new and better "normal" will be there. bye for now EV1.  Again I wish you all Happy Easter.

[paulie]

Good Morning cal!! Yay you're home!! So good to see you. I agree to jo's comment on your marathon post. Oh my heavens! God bless you.

All your kids are happy you're home. You'll get to see your Indy when you can. It's time to take care of you and your healing now.

You are a strong determined lady.   

[paulie]

Hi jo, You've had an early start and successful day! My goodness no wonder you got lost in previous trips the way you describe that intersection. Oh and a round about too!

Sounds like Fuzz the giant cat needs to go on a diet too. Lol

Enjoy the rest of your day.
