A New Direction In My Life
« on: August 09, 2016, 11:20:39 pm »
Forty seven years ago today, August 9, 1969, I made the best decision of my life and set off in a new direction.  It was the best choice I've ever made.

Ok.  I'll play.  Was it such a good decision that you did it a second time?

Actually, I did marry her a second time.  August 9, 1969 and October 6, 1977.

This is just for fun, but I may have you there.  I married her 3 times, around the world.

Didn't know she was married to you, too.  Thought she was all mine.  That must have been where she disappeared while we were in St. Ann.

LOL.  No, different woman.  You had a greater span between times than I did.  How (dates) do you observe your anniversary/ies?

I guess the only way mine could've been cooler would have been if we were on the space station at the time.

We observe both.  August 9 being the main one.

Ours are observed in their respective time zones.

So, now that we have that settled, why 47 years, rather than 50?  Or do you post this thread annually?

That day, I wasn't sure there would be 48.  I admitted her to the hospital on the 8th with a possible life-threatening infection.  Long story, but 10 years ago, they only gave her 6 months.

I was afraid of that sort of answer.  I hope there are many past 50 to celebrate.

Doctors can be wrong.

A correct diagnosis and specialty medication has kept her here.  It's progressive, though.

I'm sorry to hear that.  My boss' wife has something similar.  It slowly cuts off blood flow to the brain

Since I recently passed one of my anniversaries, I thought of you guys.  How is Melanie doing?

She had a very rough time breathing during our rainy days a week or so ago, and the low pressure system associated with it caused a lot of rheumatoid pain in her back.  As soon as the weather started to clear, her breathing problems and pain diminished.  At the moment, she's doing very well, all things considered.

Thank you for your concerns and for asking. 

Happy Anniversary (belated)

Thanks.

I'm glad she is doing better.  Is Spring hard on her?  I hope not.  It's my favorite time of year.  Some people have a lot of difficulty breathing in the Spring, due to all the allergens and things.
