Thank you for the update friendSheila! I will give my scarf an extra twirl - will give Thomas the news when I meet him in a few minutes.

Such good news.

Great news.

Thanks so much, Sheila.

Rest well, boida.

Excellent news. Thanks for letting us know.

Whew! Thanks for the news, Sheila! SO glad to hear everything's going according to plan!

(Nine hours...ugh.)

Give Roberta our love.

Thanks for letting us know, Sheila!

I have a new plaid scarf that will be perfect tomorrow (until the temp hits 80 again.)

Thank you Sheila.



And just imagine a smile here. . . . .

Thank you Sheila..... Go Roberta!

Time to show a palio contrada scarf - in this case the scarf represents the Goose neighborhood (contrada) of Siena. There are seventeen contrade - I have about seven of the scarves..



That's a photo on the slowtalk.com site.





Here's the list of contrade from Wikipedia..
(I tried to find a photo of the tortoise scarf for Roberta, but no luck so far.)

"The seventeen Contrades are: Aquila (Eagle), Bruco (Caterpillar), Chiocciola (Snail), Civetta (Little Owl), Drago (Dragon), Giraffa (Giraffe), Istrice (Crested porcupine), Leocorno (Unicorn), Lupa (Female Wolf), Nicchio (Seashell), Oca (Goose), Onda (Wave), Pantera (Black Panther), Selva (Forest), Tartuca (Tortoise), Torre (Tower) and Valdimontone (literally, "Valley of the Ram" - often shortened to Montone)."

Boida boida boida... thinking speedy healing thoughts to you goil. Wishing from afar and can't wait to see you back here. Hugs love, hugs. x





(Sheila.. thanking you again and... Welcome to A2K )

Night Boida. I hope you've had a comfortable day. Sending hugs, thinking about the scarf for tomorrow.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Roberta! Hopefully this will be the
end of all illness for you.

I haven't been around for quite some time.
I came back to check on Roberta.
I'm so glad you made it through your surgery!
Steady on!
Still thinking of you...

Sheila again--checking in. I visited Roberta in the ICU tonight. I gave her all the messages that came in last night right after I posted. She was telling me about all of you. What a great bunch of friends you are. Roberta is sitting up, she's been out of bed already, asked me to turn on a fav TV show. (All good signs.) She says "hi" to all of you. Also said I'm a "good kid." More tomorrow . . .

The world just keeps getting brigher and brighter.

Wonderful...

Roberta's right, Sheila. You are a good kid!
Thank you so much for these "Roberta reports" & also for passing on our messages to her.
Me, I'm utterly amazed! Nine hours of surgery yesterday & today she's already been out of bed, is sitting up in bed & chatting to you & wanting to watch television! Is she super resilient, or what!? Incredible. Watta goil!
Please pass on my hope that she continues to recover at this astonishing rate, & also my love, too!

What a docta. Nine hour kvetch, and he's still on his feet.

Oh Shelia - FANTASTIC NEWS..

thanku so much "kid" - you are a goodun. So pleased that you're able to visit Boida - and to know she is sitting up and even asked for some "white noise" - well, that's just fabulous.

Really, this is the best news we could have hoped to hear. Now, hoping and wishing the news from the docs will be equally as good and she is de-lumped with no bad side effects.


Gosh... she didn't send us a "kvetch".... oh my! I may be in withdrawal already!

ah.... that's made my day already - such great news to start the day with.


Thanku.

Thanks again for the update - hoping that the recovery goes on as fast as possible!
