Since I posted Jamie's story here and today is his memorial service it was suggested that I post the link for the tribute to him that was in the newspaper so here it is: http://blogs.artvoice.com/avdaily/2008/06/25/jamie-lembeck-passing/

Great news, Dipo! I hope you continue to have an uneventful recovery. Just a note which they probably already told you, but be careful about spitting when you're doing all that rinsing. I had too many dry sockets in my life that I never want to experience again! It's kind of gross, but I just sort of lean my head over really far and let the rinse run out.

I have some health issues that I've never had before. I've always been healthy (except for minor things) and so this is not easy to take. I've been undergoing tests with my heart. (It started with an abnormal ekg, which I've never had before) I don't have high blood pressure and I've always been pretty healthy. My bio father's family has a very strong history of early heart problems..so I guess it's best to find out if there's anything to worry about! I do have Mitral Valve Prolapse, so maybe that's it.

Aw (((Twiggy))) I sure hope everything works out okay and that you will be fine. You've got to be, since IMHO, being one of the kindest people I know, you're 'all heart'.

Twiggyish, I too have Mitral Valve Prolapse. I wasn't diagnosed with it until I was 12 years old. Since then I have only ever had about 6 EKG scans that came back "irregular" (I am in my 30's now). I think it is a hit and a miss with the condition setting off the EKG machines. Hopefully you have nothing to worry about - I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Please tell your friend that honoring someone's wishes in dying is the most honorable thing a human can do for another. It is not the easiest, but it is the one that is most humane. My MIL lived at her sister's house for 6 months while she died of cancer and everytime I went to see her she begged me to take her home. She had worked twenty five years preening her house, raised her two kids there and she loved everything about it, yet she was no allowed to die there. Her sister refused to let us take her home and care for her and my DH wouldn't fight her. When it was time for my mother to go I promised her that we would follow all of her wishes and we did. Was it hard?? YES, but do I regret it?? NO. My mother was in her own home where she felt the most comfortable surrounded by people who loved her, not strangers. I will always know that when my mother was ready to go it was on her terms. We may not know when we will die but we should have the chance to control how and where if possible.

I have a flasher in my right eye that started today about 1pm board time. Just pray I don't get any more floaters. I already have two big ones, one in each eye and don't need any more. Wouldn't you know it's on Sunday when my opthomologist's office is closed.

Thanks, Mame and Bisc. PTL the flashing stopped after about an hour. I guess the piece trying to tear free gave up...no new floaters. Thanks again!

Hi guys, I was wondering if you all could keep me in your thoughts on Thursday. I have to have minor surgery on my knee. I tore cartilage about a monthago now and I'm having it repaired. Should be a real quick surgery. I have had problems come out of anesthesia in the past. That is what has me worried. I tend to get real nausiated and my BP drops real fast. Thanks so much in advance!!!
