HEALTH UPDATES:

1.   Jerry Allen ('65) of VA:  

  From Judy Phillips Allen ('66) of VA - 07/08/08:

Jerry's knee surgery is scheduled for July 18th.....  Keep him in your prayers.  He is having a hard time walking these days.
 
Love you all!
Judy

   Thank you, Dear Judy, that we will - and give your darling husband more hugs and kisses from us all!


2.   Jamey Douglas Bacon ('66) of VA:

  From Judy Phillips Allen ('66) of VA - 07/09/08: 

Carol,
Here are the latest two updates on 
  Jamey Douglas Bacon.
 
Best Wishes to everyone!
Judy

 
My mom is being sent be ambulance to Riverside Convalescent Center at 3PM today.  The center is located on Denbigh Boulevard.  Her fever is down and her recent tests have been good.  She had pneumonia and kidney stones, this week, to add to her troubles.  We expect her to be at the Convalescent Center for at least 10 days but I will update you as we get new information. She welcomes visitors at any time.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, we heard back from the doctors today and mom still has a very difficult infection and will have to continue to be treated before she can have the knee replacement.  The antibiotic regimen will last approximately 6-10.  If they are able to eradicate the infection they will try again to replace the knee.  If not, they may have to permanently fuse the knee and forgo replacement.  Right now she has a new antibiotic cement spacer installed that allows only minimal weight bearing

We have not yet received discharge papers, so she may be in the hospital for several more days.  They are looking at the option of rehab again or they may send her home.  That decision is in the hand of Healthkeepers Insurance.  Now that is a scary thought.

I will continue to keep you updated as we hear more information.  Thank you again for all your care, concern and prayers.

Brian

From RealAge.com Tip of the Week - 07/07/08 - "Today, July 7: Pick up these 4 must-eat foods for healthy skin ":

4 Must-Eat Foods for Healthy Skin

Give your skin inside-out protection from the sun by putting these four items into your shopping cart: pomegranates, tomatoes, dark chocolate, and tea.

The antioxidants in this tasty quartet of treats may help thwart skin cancer, according to John La Puma, MD, author of ChefMD’s Big Book of Culinary Medicine.

Sunblock Effects

No food can replace the awesome sun-busting power of sunscreen, but some foods may work their way from the inside out to give your skin a little extra protection. The antioxidants in pomegranates, tomatoes, dark chocolate, and tea "can migrate to upper layers of your skin, bolstering resistance to ultraviolet damage," La Puma writes.
(Browse his book online.)

3 Steps to Super Skin
Most of us know someone who’s had something worrisome removed. Save yourself from joining their ranks by taking these simple skin-saving steps:

  1. Slather it on -- lots of it. You don’t want to skimp on sunscreen. Find out how much you need to be truly covered.
  2. Check yourself -- and your loved ones. Regular skin self-exams can reduce your risk of dying of melanoma by 44 percent! Here’s what to look for.
  3. Start early. About 50–80 percent of a person’s lifetime risk of skin damage happens during childhood. So teach your kids steps like these.

   Thanks, Barbara! Several of the names you listed are among our regular subscribers, so I'm going to give them another day or two to report in, and try to round up some addies for you (both actual and email) before I add them to that list. They may be quite surprised to know that they're missing!


    From Bill Black ('66) of GA - 07/09/08 - "TICK WARNING":

This is even funnier because it comes from Joanna Faith Lee, our Greenhouse Manager, who came to us last summer from a prestigious garden in Florida, with all sorts of credentials,  references,  knows the Latin names of everything, and ( like me, of course ) is a quiet, content-to-be-behind-the-scenes sort of person.

It only took a year for us to lower her to our level of humor.

TICK WARNING!

I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, and I have even done it myself a couple times unintentionally...but this one is real, and it's important. So please send this warning to everyone on your e- mail list.

If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with your arms up, DO NOT DO IT!! THIS IS A SCAM!! They only want to see you naked.

I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid.

   Please thank Joanna for us all, Bill!

My Cup Runneth Over

Music by Harvey Schmidt
(b. 12 Sept 1929)

Lyrics by Tom Jones, I Do! I Do!, 1966
(b. 1928)
 

Sometimes in the mornin' when shadows are deep
I lie here beside you just watching you sleep
And sometimes I whisper what I'm thinking of
My cup runneth over with love

Sometimes in the evening when you do not see
I study the small things you do constantly
I memorize moments that I'm fondest of
My cup runneth over with love

In only a moment we both will be old
We won't even notice the world turning cold
And so, in these moments with sunlight above
My cup runneth over with love
My cup runneth over with love
With love
