Justme57 very ill

An old SR member Justme57 is in hospital, she had muliple heart attacks and I was told last night she is about to have bypass surgery, will try to find out more today.

She is in my thoughts and prayers and I know other members here are very fond of her, so I posted this.

Kevin

Found out which hospital she is in, nurse said she is ok considering, I think she had surgery yesterday. I am allowed to go see her, going in 2 1/2 hours, will take all your love with me for her. It made me cry reading your messages.

I do not know Justme57, but she is certainly in my thoughts & I wish her a successful surgery and speedy recovery.

to get attention from those young handsome doctors.
Dang!
All my best as you improve to giggle and flirt again.

lol Carol, that about sums her up

Leigh sends her love.

She is in hospital waiting for bypass surgery, while I was there the Dr's told her that the artieries in her right arm and legs are blocked as well and she is in high danger of a stroke.

She did not look well, but still managed to smile and crack a few jokes. I am glad I could be there for her and will go back on Saturday to see her again.

She wants a notebook so she can keep busy and log in here

Kevin
