[Nfbf-l] Conklin center for the Blind question: very immediate response is fully requested and fully needed

Tue Aug 28 01:54:44 UTC 2012

I have a son who gets up very early for high school and have to make sure 
he's out of bed. Just one of the many pleasures of being a mom. Lol!

Yes, I have recieved these.  Sherri what the heck are you doing up???
giggle.  I am up because I was released from hospital yesterday and
still in great deal of pain and discomfort.  I fell on Wednesay and the
head injury causes terrible dizziness and vomiting.
CATHY FUNNY:  I called my blind girlfriend to tell he I had been in the
hospital and that is why I had not returned calls.  My friend, Randi,
said, "Cathy-Alice you should have called and tolde me I would hav
visited you."  I replied, "Randi, when I am in the hospital I do not
like visitors because I do not have my make up o, my lipstick on, or my
wig on."  Then Randi said, "Cathy-Alice I am blind!"  There was a pause
in conversation, then we both burst out laughing at the pure delight of it.
Keep the joy in your heart,  Cathy-Alice
