Tarheel Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Took LF's family to historic Oakdale Cemetery this morning for a 2 hour tour. They are history buffs. The Confederate mass grave where 367 unknown soldiers were interred from the battle at Ft. Fisher and the mass grave where 400 citizens were interred as a result of yellow fever are notable sites. There is also a grave for the daughter of a sea captain who died at sea and was placed in a cask of rum to preserve the body till back home. She was buried in the cask. Many interesting head stones and monuments. Cooking dinner for the LF's mother in law and her sister tonight. Preparing the old standard chuck roast (no relation to Chuck in Colarado). A large roast with carrots, onions, sweet and new potatoes, broth, onion soup mix, and a couple of sprigs of rosemary. Banana crème pie for dessert. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a good time, how do you always seem to be surrounded by women, guess it's a talent? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Thanks guys. We're at the hospital now. Currently going through admissions and basically waiting on the doc who's working on someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Thanks to all again. It means a lot to me. Amy is currently in surgery. We'll have to spend the weekend as she'll have another procedure Monday. Anyone up for babysitting a Rottie? Lots of loose ends and we had zero time to plan. We only brought one change of clothes so I'll run home tomorrow for supplies. Such is life. I'll check in from time to time as we'll be doing a lot of waiting.

derrickdj1 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Well wishes for your daughter Carl. There should be some would clinics in the area. Maybe they could also be involved with her care at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNRET Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Carl, I am off for the weekend now so if there is anything I can do for you let me know, you have my number. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Will do and thanks Mike. We're up in her room now. There's a fold out bed that we'll use tonight. Amy is doing well and fairly comfortable. It's strange to watch her spinal fluid drip into a cylinder though. Eerie actually. It's no biggie to everyone working on this floor but it blows my mind.

CECAA850 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Too funny. The nurse asked my daughter if she had any advanced directives. She said no as she wasn't planning on dying. The kid cracks me up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Just saw this. Carl my friend, so sorry to hear of Amy’s situation. I’m not one that wants to be cheered up when i’m going through something that sucks, so i won’t try to cheer you up. Just know that if i wasn’t a 1000 miles away (or however far that country that you live in is from Los Angeles) I’d be there for your family...and the Rottie. I’ll keep praying for you all...in God’s hands is the best place to be. Best Regards always. p.s. i think my first conversation with you was when you were shopping for a guitar for your daughter. Was this daughter Amy? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I hope Amy rested well last night! @Tigerman I picked up a used NORD electro 3 73 hp keyboard yesterday. I believe you have one yourself IIRC? Sounds mighty good through my Belles LOL. Sold my Hammond E100 a few years ago and my Yamaha Clavinova has sleepy keys so this was my answer. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
