I cannot imagine such a loss, not just the loss of her only child, but also to have no other living family. I am so sorry, SAR.

We are gathering at Richard and Dawn's for dinner at 3. Unexpectedly, one of Ashley's kittie fur babies passed away. He was only a couple of years old. He was beautiful! We have no idea what took him. I am crocheting a Christmas gift. I am tired. Ready for bed, and it isn't even 8 p.m.! The puppy ... I am too old for her shenanigans! ROFLMBO!!! But we will make it past puppy and she will be a good . I got a great report from my doctor on Monday morning. It was my regular checkup. She was pleased with the changes in my cholesterol levels. She wanted me on Lipitor or Crestor or something and I refused. Instead I have been taking red yeast rice and Co-Q-10 for that. Wonderful!!! Happy Thanksgiving! I am counting my blessings, grateful for good friends and other loved ones. Grateful for my needs being met. Can I ask for more than that? Take care, everyone.

That is so sad about Fran's daughter, especially with having no other family. I ache for her because I know what she is going through. I'm glad you will be her "family" now, SAR. Sending prayers for her.
GG, so glad you refused the Crestor/Lipitor stuff. Too many bad side effects. They had me on that stuff for awhile after my surgery but I quit and do the natural routine which includes CoQ10, fish oil and other things including diet. Got some red yeast rice but haven't used it yet as I read that it can have some of the same side effects as the Crestor stuff. I will only take it if my next cholesterol numbers happen to go up.
Hope you all had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. The boys and I had a pleasant one.

so glad you had a nice Thanksgiving, PL, I hope everyone else did too... mine was quiet, just Rick here for Dinner, then at 6,30 my cousin called, the Aunt that was like my mother as I lived at the farm in the summers.... Died last night. :( :( :(
Funeral is Wed. Rick will take me, but then we have to hurry back cause he's the only one that can get to the airport to pich Fran up.... life is strange... But I sure see why the overpowering sadness hit me 2 weeks ago... 5 deaths this week for me... hope thats all for a long time!

I'm very sorry for all you are coping with, SAR.
Plantlady, I guess I will take a look at the red yeast rice side effects. I feel good. And the numbers are right where they should be.

I see a few specks of white every once in a while. No real snow as yet down here. But it IS cold. BRRRRRRR! We all have a date with destiny but that doesn't offer much consolation when we lose someone we care about, the hole that is left by their absence, a hole that nobody else can ever fill. It just gapes there. I just finished reading Fried Green Tomatoes at the Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg. (I love her!) The character Evelyn ... "Evelyn stopped the car and sat there, sobbing like her would break, wondering why people had to get old and die." Brought me to tears because I have been thinking that very thing. A friend of mine has cancer and the radiation was so horrible she decided to cease the treatment. She is a dozen years younger than me. And I have told her I don't have the right to tell her what to do, so I will support her with her choices, but I'm just not ready for another rent in my life tapestry. She is fighting it with herbs and prayers and faith in God. She is living each day as if it was her last and putting things in order because "maybe next year at this time I won't be able to." Yes, Sue, I understand your grief.
