*Trots off to read your post*

I'm glad you can keep your sense of humor about that. Our thoughts are with you, Solly.

My wife had use of the mask. It was around 1980. It appears they have refined the design.

Hang tough gal.

I want to decorate it and mount it on the wall.

Thanks, al.

Before we married, she pranked me with the mask. It was 2 - 3 Am and she showed up at my front door. All I saw was this ghostly white face. I instinctively went into my Roaring Ape, a mix of fear and aggression. She just about jumped out of her skin.

Bet that was a sight to see.

Hang tough and let us be there with you

Thanks, Mira!

You are in our hearts.

I'll be thinking of you.

Be well, Solly. You have so many more pictures to take!

and made my eyes leak.

Hope things go well and you are soon back to your perfect self.

I had the Chemo nurses laughing hard. One started calling me Miss Kinky.

My mind might never have gone in that direction if the woman hadn't kept saying "fluffy cuffs".

to deal with hard situations. Not everyone understands that. Laughing is as good of a release as a good cry.

Fluffy cuffs would have had me laughing, too.

Your wonderful, sparkling personality weaves throughout your writing.

What a journey you are on . . . but rest assured your journey will improve as you improve!

We are all pulling for you, but I suspect you know that!

I'm keeping you in my thoughts and of course my prayers!

Sending BIG HUGS!

I was just so scared my mind went in all directions.

(((Love you!)))

Good luck with the combined chemo/radiation therapy and get well.

Had to create a new ID to respond to something my old friend scarletwoman posted recently in GD, and have been meaning to drop in here and say hello to my old Photo Group friends. I've been following news about you. And enjoying the many, many wonderful photos shared by you and all the veterans here, plus a bunch of fine contributions by newer participants, ever since I left.

Wish you a swift return to good health, and I look forward to the next beautiful images you share here. As trite as it probably sounds, you're an inspiration.

With love,
JeffR

Thank you!



I'm up preparing myself for another round of treatment. I leave soon for the doctor. Seeing your post has helped to make my morning easier.
