The ties that bind......

....you can't break the ties that bind ....you can't forsake the ties that bind

Yes, I'm quoting Bruce. I'm holding onto his words with a fierce grip and letting his music wash over me. That man knows what he is talking about and he says it so well. His words and his music have always spoken to me. That is why I love him so......
In less than a week, Bruce will be right here in MY HOMETOWN to sooth my mind, rock my soul and feed my heart .
But, for right now---it's Wednesday and I'm tired. My time with Bruce and 30,000 of his closest friends feels a long way off. In the meantime, the blessings and curses of my life need me to stay connected...and awake!
Thankfully, I have just enough energy and madness to rock on.....
P.S. Thank you for all of the kind notes of concern and interest about my father. I will definitely post an update when things are clearer. It's been a tough few days. So, if I sound a little "off"....you know why.
But, I'll leave you with this one little nugget.....
When we were at the hospital in the early hours of this mess, the nurse asked if she could get my father on the scale. Considering that he wasn't taking commands, he was not responding conherently and he was staring off into space, I doubted it. But, I figured I'd try to coax him a bit. A few moments later, I snapped to my senses and realized--this man does not need weighed! So, I politely told the nurse that it just wasn't going to happen. Soon after, my father said to me--in a very clear and lucid voice-- "Judi, you weigh yourself!" Trying to lighten up the moment, I hopped on the scale. He looked at the nurse and proudly announced to her-- "she had weight loss surgery you know". Then, he returned to his dazed look.
I'm telling you folks---my weight loss surgery has been and always will be my father's favorite spectator sport......
Just another wonderful thing about my Lapband--the happiness it brings to my father. One more reason to love my Lapband....and one more reason to love my father.
