Hi Mom,
We decided to do our dinner today (Friday) instead of Thursday.
So we spent a lot of time shopping for it yesterday, and cooking a variety of things up early last night. Cooking the turkey now, and Pammie has her desert dish lined up for cooking after that!
Going to have another couple join us - some of our best local friends. Sadly they are moving up to Maine for his job :(. So it's gonna be a table of 6 this year!
Supposed to get a dishwasher delivered and installed this morning. But the installation guy got here on time expecting the dishwasher to have been delivered already. So we're messing around with Sears for what's up and when we'll get the job done - probably next week sometime.
Really looking forward to the new dishwasher because the current one doesn't clean very well anymore.
Glad your Thursday was so great!
Wish we could have been there.
Who all was there?
---D.

Hi, Y'all!
Thanks for the report and do enjoy that Turkey today (just as delicious on Friday, I'm sure...:)
Pain in the butt about the new dishwasher, but worth it, I'm sure!
We also had six around the table this year and it really worked so well, good conversation and so much less hustle for Julie, the ultimate Hostess, Cook and Bottle washer Supreme ...She is limping today and worn out -don't tell her I told you ...:((( She is momentarily taking a soaky, foamy bath -hope it will help, I pray...
There was our special neighbor, Cynthia, always interesting, Marylin Jacobs, who missed you terribly, Ruth and her son, Alfred Kay, and us. Everyone is sending their hugs and love to Y'all...Lenny had to work (double pay, so important in this economy (((, so could not make it. Paula and the boys went to her daughter's, Angela, who is expecting to give birth in two weeks ( BTW,it's a girl).
Hugs and Love to all of you, to Pammie, Sheila and Irwin and of course, YOU!!!

Just got around to reading this, so I now see the green sofas you were talking about earlier tonight. Looks very comfortable, and the new(?) green carpet(?), looks great!

Dear all
please forgive this 'mass mail' but I don't yet have the energy to mail everyone...
we are now back in Auburn, Alabama after our friends drove 6 hrs each way to pick us up and bring us 'home'.
I have managed to get web access here so I should be able to start a gentle regime of checking my mails and getting back to people.
I now have a clearer picture of what happened, though not necessarily why it happened.
Here's a brief description:
As we left Auburn for the short flight down to New Orleans, I felt a tightness in my chest - not so unusual but it was a little painful to bend forward.
During the flight it got worse so that by the time we arrived, took a cab to the hotel, we thought we'd best find a pharmacy and try get some anti-biotics (I thought maybe I had a little chest infection).
The pharmacist directed us to an emergency 'clinic' where they almost immediately diagnosed either a collapsed lung or Buller's disease. In either case, the point is that air escapes the lung, enters the chest cavity and puts pressure on the lung, collapsing it and, worse case scenario, pushing the whole lot to the side and cutting off circulation, death follows in a couple of minutes. The emergency clinic radiologist was off sick that day but he was roused to read the xray online and that probably saved my life since we were whisked straight into ER for emergency treatment.
This is the famous tube inserted through the ribs into the lung to drain fluid and air eventually to reinflate. That procedure was perhaps the most painful I have ever experienced, you don't feel the incision but when 25cms of tube get pushed in, you do feel it!
Under normal circumstances that procedure might be sufficient but xrays showed that I still had substantial areas of the left lung which could leak and cause another collapse, especially since I fly quite a bit. On that basis they decided to operate to remove any problem areas - they used a relatively new technique (the name escapes me) in which they make two holes and a camera goes into one while the cutting tool goes into the other. In the end they removed about 2/3rd of the left lung.
Thank God, Andrea was here with me, also that this didn't happen in Buenos Aries or Lima (where I was due to go next), I'm sure I wouldn't have survived...
I have many tales to tell of the extraordinary happenings inside Tulane medical center but they can wait!
For now, I am recuperating, trying hard to take things as easy as possible, not getting stressed about anything.
I have to have an xray, probably on friday to determine whether I am fit to fly - we hope very much to be able to get home on Tuesday next week.
Meanwhile, I'll be slowly checking my emails and responding to the more urgent matters, building up to a daily routine.
thanks for messages of support on facebook and elsewhere
all the best

Dear Lisa, dear Julie!!
We are looking forward tremendously to our visit and we give below details of our arrival and departure. Three of us will be coming. Ariane Walter and Horst.
We do not take it for granted that we will stay in your house because we know that there will be a lot of pressure on you both round about the periode of Lisas Birthday. We will in any case wish to make a contribution to cover the cost of our food and other expenses.
Florian now has two jobs and cannot get the time off, but he is now a capable young man.
Please let us know in what way we can help with the festivities. Horst is capable of helping in whatever way required.
It is wonderful that Lisa can celebrate this Birthday and that we can share the joys with her.
We send all our love!
Walter and Ariane
Flights:
Arrival: 5th of March Miami Int. Airport 16:35h (LHH 466) via Düsseldorf
