To my friends,
Just so you’ll understand my absence, my computer has been giving me the Blue Screen of Death (followed by The “Blue” Screams of Amy) and it’s going to have a Time Out at the repair shop.
Thanks to all for their prayers during yesterday’s second, third, fourth, and fifth mammograms, which reveal NOTHING! “Old Leftie” is clean as the proverbial whistle. Amen. Thanks also to Carolyn for her wonderful advice (as expressed in “You’re EEEEK! uh…”) and thank God I didn’t need most of it… this time.
Please say a prayer tonight for all the uninsured, who are unable to breeze into the clinic knowing they have insurance coverage like ours. Pray for a national health plan that covers everyone… and if you have to give up your cosmetic surgery so that some kid doesn’t have to die from whooping cough, think about it… isn’t it worth that much? Health care is a RIGHT, not a privilege. We spend a thousand times more on bombing Afghanistan (and yes, Iran is next) into the Stone Age than we spend on health care. Tea Party, please research, thanks.
See you in a few, and again, thanks for your support. I love you all madly, as The Duke would say. Peace, Amy

so happy for you – sorry about your computer– though that is nothing compared to the other stuff you have been handling, but it is still pretty darn inconvenient

I understand. Between the computer and Old Leftie, I’m happier about the health of the latter! Thanks, A

Amy, so, so happy! Congrats on the great results. Hugs to you and “Leftie” 😉
Hoping to the blue screen of death slides off into the sunset and we hear your wonderful voice singing some lovely blues in celebration.

Now I know why the first two letters of “BSOD” are “BS.” I just suffered an OD of it at the Geek Squad!!! It’s to laugh… Peace, Amy

Fabulous news, and I don’t mean about the computer. Who says prayer doesn’t work!

Namaste, John.

I’ve been out of the loop. So glad things went well for you. Been there.

Both? Yikes. My personal health was the big thing, and even though we don’t carry the gene in our family, it’s still nerve-wracking… and FIVE shots of Leftie? Really? FIVE? Not enough Advil in the world! Thanks, Kelly… Amy

Oh — so GLAD to hear this good news! Was looking for it yesterday. Congrats on a “clean bill”, Amy! And good luck with that damn “blue” computer… 😐

Thanks to you all for your good wishes. Sorry I have to “batch reply,” but this is how I get behind…!! Love to you, A

As an uninsured family, it will be good to have some finally.
Soooo good on your test results!
I had a Windows blue screen devastation once, not fun. Good luck on that!

Jannie, your plight is happening to millions. That’s why Lex and I are advocates of universal health care, or Medicare for All, with of course necessary reforms in Medicare. I’m so sorry – I’ve been without insurance and this was a stinging reminder that I should never take ours for granted. Amy

It’s such wonderful news Amy! The accompanying picture says it all! Such a relief! Even though this a lady thing as I had mentioned I went through a harrowing experience when it impinged on my good wife not too long ago!
Hope the hardware will not cause much bother..

Well, Hank, I’m glad your wife is OK, yay! As for hardware, the five different angles of the mammo was a worst hardware problem than the computer! A

Glad you got the all clear on the mammograms. Never fun having those at the best of times, let alone when there IS something to worry about. Glad you got your comp back too :))

Don’t know how I missed this post, but – Amy – all I can say is … Hallelujah! I’m so pleased to hear that “Lefty” is okay … and that the computer is as well (from later post). Congratulations, my friend … virtual hugs coming your way. (((((Amy)))))
