I'd like to apologize to anyone that has asked me anything, been searching for me, or sent a message I haven't replied to. I can FINALLY say after many years, my life is slowly getting back to some sense of normal or at least a close enough resemblence I can deal with it. If any of you asked me anything important, you may want to ask again. Though I try to keep up best I can, I usually browse through the email when I have a moment and only open the things that are personal and tell myself I've got to remember to get back to the rest soon when I'm more awake. I've got 3 grandsons and just completed my senior year of college. I've not had time for anything besides my school email account and returning phone calls. Between my senior year and planning three weddings (still working on two), major milestones with the grandsons, I've found out I have a nephew I never knew about and got to go meet him and his wife, along with their two existing children and be there for the announcment all the way through the being there when my beautiful great-niece Ellie was born. It has been a crazy few years! We actually sat down and counted the other day and since 2004 I have had 19 major surgeries (including a transplant) and 12 outpatient procedures. The 24th of this month will be an anniversary for me too. It will be the first full year since 2004 I've gone without a surgery or being hospitalized. My husband is blaming me for speaking too soon about our freedom from the hospital, he had a stroke Jan. 16th. We are very blessed that he only has mild permanent damage. He has a mild limp and very mild slurred speech. It sure doesn't stop him from fussing and giving everybody a hard time. Everybody except the grands that is, they have him wrapped no matter how much he denies it. Anyway, I'm about to get caught up around the house so maybe I can get around to catching up on some of this email (5581 unread to be exact) then get back to climbing the old tree while the kids aren't around. I graduate May 14th so I have until then to catch up and goof off, after that I have to try to put this degree to work for me. Hope all is well with everyone, it sure feels good to be back. Suzie

I have figured you were still busy, & you need too slow up a little. We don't want to hear you are back in the the hospital with something.  You take it easy & just drop a note now & then.   Peggy ________________________________ From: Suzie Suzie <justsuzie2004@yahoo.com> To: palmertree <palmertree@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, February 18, 2013 7:03 PM Subject: [PTREE] Still here- Checking in.
