Yahoo E-mail hacked. See my post (somewhere in this thread) on why you should go Gmail and Gmail only.
Again?! Or are you talking about the one that happened last month?
Im actually using the first week to catch up on TV - since I cant drive. Right now, I've started Community, since everyone I know doesnt quite understand why I'm not watching it - they say its right up my alley.Quote:

Thanks for all the good wishes, guys :D I will keep you abreast of my progress :D
I got two separate e-mails yesterday from my friends who's e-mail was filled with spam. Might just be two offs I guess.
My work preemptively scheduled a snow day tomorrow. I love it when they do that. We haven't had a snow day in two years because it's been so weirdly mild here. Right now it is sunny and blue skied and probably near 50 degrees... doesn't feel like we'll have a foot of snow tomorrow.
So glad the surgery went well, Fezzik. Best of luck in your recovery.
Stent is in, blood flow looks good. Still has two 100% blockages, but those have been there for quite some time, so they're looking at possible bypass down the road. They put a stent in the 95% blocked one (a branch of circum flex, the OM). They believe that is the one that caused the event. They may start backing off the sedation at midnight tonight. Tomorrow will be a 'fun' day keeping him restrained as he wakes up.
Has he been kept unconscious this whole time? Yikes.
I'm glad to hear about the progress, though. He sounds like a pretty tough guy.
He's been ventilated the whole time. They brought him around on February 28th to see if he had any neck pain, which he didn't, so they removed the neck brace then (he hit his head on the bowling ball return when he dropped). We communicated with him for awhile, and he was able to remind us that he did 200 push ups and 300 situps three times a week, (yes, he's 70). After his angiogram, we found out about all the blockages, and they were originally going to do a triple bypass, and he, uh, kicked a nurse in the chest, so he went from just having his arms restrained to having his legs restrained too. They decided to keep him heavily sedated until the surgery. Due to a mild infection, they decided just to do an angioplasty and look at bypass down the road.Quote:

For a better update on the chain of events, feel free to check out the caring bridge link I posted earlier in the thread.

This is way more stressful than I originally thought.
Just finding new space or leaving Philly? And yeah, selling a home is ulcer-inducing stuff.Quote:

My pre-approval letter to buy in the price range I want to buy is contingent upon me selling my current place which adds to the stress.Quote:

I did the same thing Benny in 2008. I love Boston. I can always drive 30 miles and go to it whenever I want. But the burbs is where I want to live.
Good luck to you!
lol home owning
Don't believe in it? Or just don't want to bother?
I don't have money.
I've been in the hunt for six months now. The inventory level (at least in SoCal) is absolutely horrible for buyers. Great for sellers and their agents, though.Quote:

I should ask her out during the break, just to mess with her. Like to breakfast.
