A Personal Note to my Foodie Friends

by Bill Veneman » Fri Oct 09, 2009 1:15 pm

Robin, I wasn't sure where to put this, and if think someplace else is more appropo, please do so.

My dear friends,

The last two or three months have been both very scary, and a welcome challange in my life. During this time, I have had time for reflections of things, and beleave or not, this forum has been a major smile factor. The notes and calls from my friends online have been most welcomed. I would have gone to do Fuju with Richard, Suzi. et al, the other night if I hadn't had ticket to the Theatre. And Mr. Paul Mick, I very much look forward to meeting you face to face.

Unfortunatly, due to the medical expenses, I've not been able to go and do my foodie due as much as I would want, but I'm not starving. My "Chef" roomy has seen to it that the 3 in the household has GOOD food (my doctor says too good, but that's another tale for another time). And I have become quiet the bargain hunter, coupon clipper, and Kroger Card saver. It's been a fun challenge.

I'm slowly but surely coming back to my old self. According to my doctor, I'm about 85% there. I still have issues where I get tired easily, and my short term memory is still spotty (I hate when I think of something I want, and when I get to the place where I want to be, I can recall what it is that I want).

I've been back to work full time a little over a month now, and am very blessed to have the team that I do at Kindred. Aside from my desk being a disastar when I returned to work, it's been wonderful being back.

I didn't want to ramble so, but I wanted to let you all know how much I have appreciated and do appreciate the kindness you've shared with me. THANK YOU each and everyone!

See you on the Forum!!!!

Bill, i do not know you personally, and do not know the specific details of your situation. But, i have often thought of you when praying for people in need. This people on this board ARE an awesome group, a great place for support. I am glad to hear that things are improving for you, it is always good to hear positive news. Your good attitude has a lot to do with that! I hope things continue upward.

So glad things are getting better. If you need anything, you know you only have to ask. Do I have to start standing on 3rd St in the morning to see you? :wink: We fully understand where you are after a health problem, been there did that (twice!), did not get a T-shirt. We should do lunch, my treat, some day. I know ALL the cheap places downtown now. :D

Bill, it's great to hear that you're on the mend. I know getting back to work had to be a big step. Hang in there, and we'll see you at a forum offline soon!

Ran into Bill the other night at the store and Bill, you're looking GREAT! You've put on a bit of much needed weight and your handsome face is all happy again! Please keep us posted on any updates you want to share and be sure to look for me again next time you're in the area. :D :D :D :D
