Hello Friends!

Filed under: 1962 Corvette Chevy (My Red Dream comes true!)

Well I am back! I have not recovered all the way and will be seeing metro trauma center a lot from my stroke right before dad passed away but thank God I have very little side effects left from it...Balance is the main one, but I'm a blonde so I can get away with that especially when I pass by one of those great looking guys ...LOL
I will be released from back surgery center surgeon in end of July. But I'm way ahead of their way of going about things. Can't keep a good lady down!
Went to two shows the first two this year and already placed a first!!! Neat trophy its a cast metal one with three deminsional look....
I had the hood finally matched it was a tuff match...a 1295.00 lesson, replaced the carpeting and the floor mats felt they had their wear, I could not think of anything else to add except a locking gas cap, and a AIR CLEANER COVER MADE FOR THE 62 VETTE....ha!
Well I sure hope to meet some new friends now again and keep in touch with the others.....So Hello again and Hugs to all!
Susie

I miss the first few shows but I'll get to my favorite....

Blog post photo

Its been a terrible 3 weeks. My surgery was canceled due to a stroke I had, so while I was seeing a stroke Dr. just after we had my dads funeral ..my mother in law had a stroke, much harder she is 90 and acts looks like 70 so she is in a hospital just being transferred to rehab. My grandson is in hospital don't know if its his mom being a hypochondriac or something wrong with his legs they hurt off and on terribly. I say growing spurts my brother was like that then the next day they are out running around.

So back to me My surgery ~~is now an all clear go ahead though we still have to follow up with stroke Dr. later find out the cause. My surgery will be May 21st..I will be only overnight at hospital . I won't stay any longer I hate those places. Then a nurse will be at my home everyday for 10 days there abouts then I will go my mothers and stay a bit. She ha no Internet. Eventually after 2 weeks I may stay alone not allowed to drive etc...so I will be trying my best not to hurt myself but playing outside. I cannot stand being shut in on lock down as I always called it.

I have it all figured out with pillows around me I can make it to my favorite show at Ursaline College! Wow it will be a good thing to see and be back on the road a little bit again. I know I will be doing a no no from the Drs. BUT>>>>>Hey you guys understand there are cdrtain things a car lover just cannot be kept from.

So there she be......
LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN.....!
Hugs

Death& Surgery Hugs see you later

won't be on line onlly one more time possibly for the next two-weeks...
FYI my father has passed away. It was a very hard last day. He is finally at peace.
I'm glad it happened now and not when I was in surgery the burial itself will be later some day with family, after I recover. My mother has not decided on burial. My mother is taking it fairly well it has been very hard on all of us the last month.
Talk to you someday later my surgery preop is Tuesday and surgery is Thursday. Hopefully nothing will stop it they found I had a mini stoke sometime about a month ago they are doing ct scan on brain etc first to find out whats happening. The mini stroke was found by eye neurologist on routine test yesterday. I knew something happened I lost all my strength and could not get out of bed for about 3 days or a week and I was falling into walls etc balance and forgot everything. But I chalked it off to nerves. Well I hope it was just a nerve problem Wish me well I will be laid up for about 30 days after surgery. But at least I know my dad is watching out for me now from Heaven.
Hugs to all.....

Valentines Day

Filed under: 1962 Corvette Chevy (My Red Dream comes true!)

Blog post photo

A quick note to all my friends here on Motortopia. I really enjoy reading your letters whether they come directly to my email or through the motortopia site. I would like to say. "Happy Valentines Day to all of you and know that I thought of my friends here today" I'm on my way to spend the day with my mom and dad yesterday ws a very poor day with both, mom is losing weight with worry and shaking more with parkensons due to the emotional toll it is taking on her. Dad is awake approximately 45 minutes to an hour now only ..during the day. He has quit eating he may take some applesauce with his 33 pills but he won't eat anymore his eyes are lifeless. Thank you to all who have listened or read my letters, its been my release from the reality of lfe here.

I hope you enjoy this photo as much as I do. It was taken at Christmas it is my dad and my little boy..(my little son is 6'3" 200 pounds and he works out all the time runs always, very sports-minded and is a honor roll student or a Deans list student at times in Industrial management with chemical degree background, he will be 27 soon) . He will graduate in June of 2009 , yes he like others goofed off a bit in the beginning. Has quite the resume now with ~ helping the cancer fight raising money through student teaching at the college he attends. So anyone looking in their business in the future please let me know he is looking were the money and insurance will take him and thats his goal.
*My father has lost about 55 -65 pounds since that photo. And doesn't even look like the same man. He is very proud of his grandson it's great to see the success your children have accomplished and I am pleased that dad has seen my son in his full element of happiness towards a wonderful future with lots of loans to pay back...(lol) He is not too proud to start at the lower end of a job and learn more he speaks that you can never learn enough.
Hugs to all

A few of you have been writing to me and I want you to know I really appreciate your prayers and concerns. Life has been so tuff on me the last few months. Last year at this time my sister in law (my dear dear friend, sissy) was just recovering from a coma from a car accident. Seems like Dec, Jan, Feb are my challanging months.
Dad is paralized on one side now his cancer has twisted into the vertebrea of his neck. Of course it is everywhere in every organ as it is. I don't think and I kind of hope because I watch the pain that it will not drag on another few months.
I have been back and forth got opinions in Colorado and back here at Cleveland Cllinic I have still not decided on what to do with my health issue. I'm very scared it will be my 7th surgery on my back since I was 17. MRSA is very high in the hospitals, my chances of paralization are getting higher, and I have a lot of scare tissue as it is and very very low immune system from the other physical challanges I have. I will be making a decision in the next few weeks. It depends on my father also. But I cannot hardly stand the pain f breathing any longer it hurts way too much and the pounds are dropping.
I love the fact you know nme already as just Susie the girl with the red corvette. I was once told many years ago, do you want to be known as the girl with handicaps or Susie the you, you see. I said I have no handicaps. The Dr. may say different and people too, but noit to me I can do anything I put my mind to it. (always have been a dare=devil/) LOL
I hope you enjoy my photo of my sissy (sister) and I.
Hugs to All!!!

challanges

I decided challanges are not my thing.. I don't like the competetors contacting all their clubs saying vote for me vote for me. I think its low and dumb. I asked my friends to look and hopefully they liked my car the best I asked some to look at the challange...but to go to clubs and be in clubs to ask vote for me vote for me its really low... lowest you can go. And it will not always work. I don't know if I will do a challange again. I'm not a outcast only a lady who trys to stay to herself and make a few friends...

But I know I certainly will look and vote for the people who put effort in their writings on their car and truely pick the car I like.

I found many people are out for numbers in friends also could this be for challanges..mainly girls.?? I like friends whether they ask me or I ask them I'm a talker and I get lonely in the winter and love to talk to different people some I have not much some many times. I think/ or thought that was what motortopia was all about maybe I'm wrong just my opinion.

Well I guess thats all I have to say for now on the subject.
Happy Holidays.
Hugs from your friend
Susie
