Dear Readers, In case you can’t recognize me, that’s yours truly lying in a hospital bed.
(Hospital to be named later. After I’ve recovered.)
I went to the emergency room and five days later, they released me.
Long medical horror stories are boring to everyone except the teller. Suffice it say that I have a good one.
I was really sick.
I am on my way to recovery. I need some other procedures/surgeries before I’m declared healed.
I wouldn’t have mentioned it but I am not sure yet when I’ll be back with you all.
I will keep you posted. Soon, I hope.
In the meantime, just be patient with this patient and while you’re at it, a few prayers in any denomination would be most appreciated.
Thanks for your understanding.
Ellen, Your Elba Girl
Now take a look at my favorite doctor on the staff.
(It only hurts when I laugh.)
Ellen…. very upsetting blog!!! Please take care and I pray you’re and will be on the road to recovery.! I will keep in touch….
Thanks, Ellen. Sorry to be a bummer this early in the morning but I couldn’t figure out a way to tell everyone that I would be off-line for awhile.
This is a good place to tell readers that I won’t be responding to individual comments- if they are any more. Still feel too crummy. Hope you understand that all your good wishes are very good medicine. Thank you.
The Marx Brothers are still hysterical. Thanks for great Sunday morning laughs. Get well soon.

Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery, Ellen!
Apparently, Groucho once reported being hospitalized — he took a turn for the nurse.
Best wishes. Recover soon. Appropriate thoughts heading your way.
I’m so sorry you’ve been through this horror. Talking to you everyday, you relating each and every excruciating pain and indignity, has been so terribly upsetting. I’m glad you’re home and know that it will take time to heal. My love, thoughts and prayers are always with you. Joan
Ellen, I am so sorry to hear you have been ill. I hope you are on the road to recovery.
Sending you love, positive energy, and lots of healthy wishes.
It’s always something!!!!!!

Yes… wishing you a speedy recovery too, Ellen.
Take care,

I hope you recover soon. Best regards
Laughter is the best medicine. Though looking at your photo, dear friend, it doesn’t look like you’ve heard any flashy punchlines just yet. Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery. Maybe a cute orderly will come up with a one-liner to commence your recovery.

Ellen,
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Get well soon!

Hell of way of getting 0ut ofpaying off your losing football wager( the bird bowl, Seahawks vs Falcons). Actually I am in recovery mood as well. Just had full knee replacement. The carrot at the end of the pt stick is being able to ski Snowmass with the 4 grandkids next winter. Feel better.

Dear Ellen:

I add my good wishes to all those posted above … like feel better, a speedy recovery and
most of all GOOD HEALTH soon or even better now and in the future.
Love, Joan
Hoping you have a speedy and uncomplicated recovery. You bring joy to many people. Thank you.
Sandy and Denny Rosen
So sorry to read this. Having spent five nights in the hospital a few years back, I know its only saving grace is if you know you will get better. Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery so you’ll be able to withstand those 40 miles per hour winds.
Dear Jean,
Words can’t convey how sorry I am that you aren’t in the peak of health. Please recover right away. We have a lot to do!
Love,
Hopsie
Feel better soon Ellen!
Hi Ellen,
I’m so sad about what you’ve been going through. I’m sending my love, prayers and positive healing energy. As I emailed you, please let me know if I can support you in any way with my vast network of integrated doctors and alternative healers.
With Love and Support,
Terry
Hey E….so sorry you are going through some issues. Sometimes this getting older crap is not fun….I am going through some issues myself right now…but enough about that. Take care of yourself and keep a positive attitude….one day at a time, My prayers are with you.
ER stands for Eagle River….Not emergency room!!
Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well – hope you’re back on your feet and behind the typewriter soon. A speedy recovery!
Steve
Ellen, I hope you have a speedy recovery and all of this turns out to be a good story, and nothing more. This getting old thing is very humbling, isn’t it? Best wishes for getting back to what you like to do ASAP!
Judy
So sorry you’ve run into some difficult health issues Ellen. Sending lots of good wishes for a speedy and complete recovery, all the way from Iquique, Chile. Yes, your blog is being read all the way down here!💋💋💐
Get better Ellen! You are a survivor! Hugs, from this old friend! Prayers being sent!
Dear Ellen, get well soon! Keep up your strength and I am sure you will come through 100%. You are in our thought and hearts.
Dear Ellen, I attend Shabbat services every Friday night at my synagogue. When the time comes to say the prayer for healing I recite the name of a dear friend who in part credits prayer to her living a year past diagnosis. No matter the degree of illness I truly believe that prayers can be answered. I will include your name starting this Friday.
Ellen…I am hoping for your recovery and improved health. I am wishing for your surgeries to be completely successful. I am hoping all the caring of people who have been touched by you helps in some way towards your healing.
Amy
