A fellow PS sister needs our help - EVERYBODY chime in, pls!

[mrs-b]

So the lovely, kind, wonderful @bright&shiny is, as discussed in a previous thread, having open heart surgery on Friday. And she's scared.

I was wondering if ALL of us could pitch in with positive vibes, encouraging comments, entertaining memes, your best jokes, and truly GREAT bargains you might have seen currently in the jewelry world. NO MEDICAL STORIES OR DETAILS, PLEASE.

When I was really ill, Pricescope threw a blanket of love and support around me, and it meant more than I can say.

Can we please do the same for @bright&shiny? I will happily go first!

@bright&shiny, you are one strong woman with a big heart! And a pretty bangin' sense of style! And I believe with all my being that you're going to walk this road with strength and grace, determination and true grit, and you will SHOOT out into the light when all is done. Please know that I'm right there with you, sending you love and believing - utterly! - that this will place you on a path of solution. Looking forward, SO MUCH, to drinks in Boston* with T and J, and a long, wonderful friendship. Hugs to you, my friend!

I can barely breathe. Second OHS.

I was at Mass General yesterday. After several years of another doctor there telling me I’m fine and generally being dismissive, I met with a kind, world expert surgeon who said I need another open heart surgery - before the end of the year. I am beyond upset and angry, and afraid. All of the...

@bright&shiny, I am thinking of you this week! You will make it through this surgery with flying colors!! I can’t wait to hear how fabulous you are feeling on the other side of this surgery! There is a big community of cheerleaders here and cheering you on!

[lovedogs]

I'm a big fan of dog memes, so here are some I saved as screenshots on my phone.

Best wishes and positive thoughts to you!!!

 

[vintageinjune]

@bright&shiny I am sending all the love, strength, and healing vibes possible. You have an entire community of people around the world who cannot wait to see you healthier and stronger after this.

Now, a selection of a few of my favorite "Dad" jokes -

Did you hear? They aren't making the 12" ruler any longer.

I told everybody the importance of eating dried grapes.
It was about raisin awareness.

When does a joke become a dad joke?
When it becomes apparent.

*Edit - changed "couple" to "few" since I listed three instead of two jokes.

 

[Begonia]

Yo @bright&shiny!
It's gonna be ok. You're gonna be ok. Pretty soon you'll be all healed up, recovered and regaling us with pics of your recovery bling.
I, for one, have quite a few ideas up my sleeve on that topic. Leave it with me.
You go in there and give them h*ll.
You. Got. This.
Love Begonia

 

[marymm]

dear @bright&shiny -- I will be thinking of you particularly this week and this Friday but also the weeks after, and sending you strong positive vibes to augment your resiliency and your healing -- you are in good hands and you already know you are good at doing the work of recovery -- when you are thinking you need to be extra brave and strong, think of us PS sisters and brothers circling 'round you and lending our strength and encouragement with every breath you take -- you are bright and shiny, with bright & shiny pretties waiting to adorn you, and with friends and mates wishing you well.

 

[JV36912]

Praying for your comfort and healing and wisdom for your entire care team! You've made it through once, you can make it through again (at which point get yourself a sparkly to commemorate ). Sending good thoughts, prayers and well wishes your way!

 

[YadaYadaYada]

Sending a bucketload of good wishes and some shameful dog memes.

 

[yssie]

Thinking healing thoughts for you B&S!!

 

[Karl_K]

Prayers outgoing and will continue for you @bright&shiny

 

[Bonfire]

I hope you feel all the caring support from your friends here. I’ll be thinking of you and sending you virtual hugs.

I hope all goes well! I'll be thinking of you on Friday.
Meanwhile, here's a pretty diamond ring.

 

[Autumn in New England]

I didn't know you lived in MA, @bright&shiny! It seems we live very close by. Anyway, I just wanted to say that you stand out on this board for your incredible kindness and upbeat nature. You're always so free with your congratulations, encouragement, and support. I'm so glad to see everyone coming together with well wishes for you. Sending you positive and loving vibes for a great outcome. We'll miss you until you're ready to return to us!!

 

[ItsMainelyYou]

Both hands, big dust. All the sparkly dusts! Look at all this dust!

I shook the absolute shit out of Tink to get it.
See you soon.

 

[Bron357]

@bright&shiny sending good vibes from down under.
Ive been pretty good at not shopping but this is a happy recent purchase from one of my favourite eBay sellers.
I hope you are on the mend soon and we all look forward to you getting better fast.

@mrs-b, I have no adequate words. Such kindness - and keen understanding. Thank you - and thanks to everyone’s sweet responses. It helps more than you know.
