Sorry guys I will be away for a few days.......

I hate to be gone for a few days but my computer is getting a makeover!   It has beenhaving some problems so my computer whizzo cousin is going to fix it. I will loose all files , programs, everything! He is wiping it out and starting oveer. I am upgrading and whatever else he is doing, it really is all foreign to me. So this is probably my last post for a few days. I am feeling a little better, thanks to all who e-mailed me or who posted to me. I hate rapid cycling . I probably will lose everyone's e-mail addy unless I stay up a little lat tonight and write them down. That could get tiresome . If you noticed I wanted to see how many faces I could use.lol Shannon, thanks for your email, when I learn how, and find a recent picture of me I will send you and Patti one. hrilled.lol  Also, Patti can't wait to hear how things go with the hubby, sorry about all the problems that had to arise at the wrong time.So I guess I will post as soon I get back, thanks for caring. I hope everyone stays as well as they can, and YOU know I will be thinking of you ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!                Nickie

I'll be gone for a while, too. Having knee replacement surgery on Friday, expect to be in hospital 4 or 5 days, then *maybe* in inpatient rehab for a week or so (no idea about the rehab, but I don't have anyone at home to take care of me - as opposed to my TKR on other knee 3 years ago, when my husband (soon-to-be-ex) was there all the time & took care of meals, etc.

I'm having moderate anxiety about it at the moment; I've made some preparations & am less panicky than I was for a while. I guess I've sort of made my peace with the surgery-on-my-own thing. (we'll see how I feel Thurs. night! may be completely different . . . )

So glad you're all here. It's a godsend being able to talk with other bipolars!
