Rare Sea Dog Posted February 14 #115252 Share Posted February 14 Update: I’m home after a successful surgery. The rip was a large one and I had some intestine poking out. I am sore but pain is doing ok. I have some good pain meds. On another note my heart is heartbroken that what should be a day of celebration of our hometown Chiefs winning the Super Bowl got a dark shadow casted over us. While we don’t know all the information 1 is dead, multiple shot and injured. Thankfully our brave law enforcement ran towards the chaos and even citizens pursued and restrained the shooter. Still an active crime scene now as the investigation is ongoing. Any pain I have from the surgery is nothing compared to the pain, sadness, anger and depression I feel that this happened for what should have been a great celebration. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure when I got it but the surgeon said it was a big rip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it was a clean break though. Has it impacted him being able to do schoolwork? Yes, the operation will be in Canada. Thankfully all covered by insurance. One of her close friends got wiped out on the snowfields by an out of control snowboarder two weeks ago. DD went in the ambulance to the hospital with her and stayed by her side as her support person so she knows the hospital well. Aw, your poor daughter. Her girlfriend, also! Thank goodness for insurance! I hope your daughter is not in too much pain😔 I just texted my grandson and asked how his wrist is. His answer: good. He should be all right with his schoolwork, since he broke his left wrist, and he's a "righty".

Rare Tree_skier Posted February 14 #115257 Share Posted February 14 Had a great first day In Orlando. When in Florida eat like a Canadian 😆 By my Canadian Poutine standards I’d give it a “B”. The bacon was a little inauthentic but I enjoyed it and the seasoned curly fries was a unique twist. The Blues Brothers street performance was great. Went back and saw it twice. “Ruh Roh” 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our granddaughter did end up in a boot for her fracture, but I think she gets rid of it today. Things have been sad at her house, because this Friday is the father daughter dance, and both of them have the flu and are slowly getting over it. Happy birthday to Lisa. Sorry to hear about your granddaughter ending up in a boot for her fracture. Thank you for your good wishes for our grandson. I'm also sorry that your granddaughter and SIL will be missing the Father-Daughter dance due to the Flu! How are they feeling? My granddaughter at URI is finally feeling better since having the Flu last week; our grandson is getting over the Flu, and now his Mom (our daughter is all aches and pains, etc. since she also now has the Flu. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckynana Posted February 14 #115260 Share Posted February 14 10 hours ago, firefly333 said: We did both times of course. That's why we knew first one was advertised at a lower HOA and HOA president herself assured us they had plenty if something came up, ... except they didnt have 100k plus extra when the elevator failed inspection. The sidewalk is sloped and water is still going down into the elevator shaft and now needs a architect to redesign the sidewalk now too. Hence the assessment first year I bought. This one we have the financials and also saw the tower I'm buying the board said $741 a month HOA just hasnt voted yes on it. My realtor dug and read that is how we found out about the unapproved HOA increase. I said after the first one let's make sure and found out again the advertised HOA will be increased by the time I close. Though at least they had the current HOA on the listing correct, unlike the first one, who was off by $25. But close. It's hard to predict something like water had been going into the elevator and ruined the motor etc and it all had to be replaced immediately. Twin towers over there I had looked at going real cheap right now. I passed, luckily but I heard all the balconys are being removed and rebuilt. My realtor says 19 units for sale in there. And another ocean front is also being hit just as hard by new inspections. The one I looked at in twin towers had original electric panel, only used in florida, which wouldn't pass to get insurance. My agent saw it and recognized immediately as he has worked in that area a lomg time. I wasnt up to changing a electric panel, dont know what's behind it. I saw a unit for sale oceanfront there now at $169k. Asked my realtor and he said that condo all the balconys are being removed and replaced. Scary stuff going on there. Where I bought is smaller, and only 3 stories. Fewer units to pay when something goes wrong. The new condo is much taller and newer. Though a bit further and not on the beach, only waterfront. But yea scary stuff going on there along the beach. My realtor has seen assessments of 40k to 55k in the last year. We dug both times for all we could get hold of from HOA. It's the stuff the HOA doesnt know that's scary. Inspections are now tougher to pass. Wow, Jane! It sounds like you've got a great realtor who knows their stuff. I can't even imagine assessments in the 40k-55k range!!!! Holy moly! We just had an assessment in the $1500 range last year. Unfortunately, there's been a rumor of another assessment. Yes, the inspections are now much tougher to pass. I can only hope that our Reserves are as good as we've been told. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope when he watches the tape of the parade he turns it off before the ending. How sad 😞 for someone to ruin it with a shooting and injuring people like that on a such fun day.

mo&fran Posted February 15 #115267 Share Posted February 15 (edited) What a crazy day. Every day I got to the Gardens mall to walk and get a sandwich for lunch. A normal day , which today was, I leave the mall at noon. About an hour later, Dw was watching tv in the other room when they had breaking news, there was a shooting at the mall. For reference, I am located in Palm Beach Gardens, Fl. I came back to my TV, to see what other local stations were reporting, Holy cow one station was reporting a shooting in St Lewis also. At this point, Palm Beach Gardens police think there was indeed think there was a shooting, and they may have found the victim at a local trauma hospital. Now they have to search the CCTV videos to see if they can see the shooting. They do not think it was a random event , just a couple of people who don't like each other. One thing that was impressive is that the malls store employees have been trained on how to respond to active shooter events, this coming from reports from both employees and customers. Sorry for the disruption to the Super Bowl victory event, but its good to hear @Sea Dog surgery went well.

I'm a light sleeper & a late riser, i.e. not a morning person.🙂 But if the dog is barking at midnight, I'm okay with it. 😉 It's not always a barking dog. We've had a noisy neighbor or two over the years we've been here. I'm used to the sounds you can hear from above us. We're on the second floor of a three story building. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
