Carol's Pond

  Carol's Dragon Fly Ranch Home of Carol's Pond July 27, 2022 It has been a busy couple of weeks since the 18 of the month. On Monday, the 18, I woke up at 6 and felt fine. At 7:30 things went to hell. I was very nauseous and had the trots. Finally about 2, I called the ambulance. They took me to Titus Regional Medical Center and on Tuesday they ripped out my appendix which had ruptured. I am still fighting the infection. Karen Vanderveer, a long time friend from my days of running around Butler University came and picked me up and brought me home. Gene Voorhies came up and babysat me for 3 days until I was able to function on my own. I owe both Karen and Gene many thanks. But thankfully I am on the mend. I am very sore and my abdomen is multicolored. Tomorrow the staples will be removed. I don't want any more staples. This was surgery number 15 in my life and that is enough. Gene and I watched Whitey try and catch lunch. I did see Samantha

  Carol's Dragon Fly Ranch Home of Carol's Pond July 2, 2022 I would like to thank Jerry Mundell for his donation, in Carol's name to the Lebanon Elk's Lodge Major Project which is cancer research. Today July 2, is mine and Carol's anniversary. The Elk's do not keep any of the donations. If the state receives $100,000 in donations, 2 checks are cut and hand delivered to the heads of the research departments at IU and Purdue. This week found the California Kid, aka Jerry Mundell staying with me for a couple of days. It was a very enjoyable visit. On Thursday, the 30 th we went to Greenville, TX to visit the Audie Murphy Museum. It is a humbling experience. I would go again and I think Jerry would too. But while Jerry was here, Samantha Jane, Sam and Sam Jr. chose to hide. I don't know if they are bashful or afraid of Jerry. They might have thought that Jerry would take them to California. But I don't think he would do that.
