still here
Hi everyone.
First things first, has anyone heard from babybunny?
Please post here and let me know.
For me,
I am now living in (shudder) Texas for the foreseable future. No one knows when we can go back.
The wonderful people here have been kind and generous beyond belief.
I have rented a home for Leigh and me, she has taken a leave of abscence to stay with me. Matt is well, off reporting, and calling us often.
If you want to know how bad it was, imaging your own Hell, and make it worse, and then know for some it was even worse than that.
Those who survived the Morial Center deserve our prayers, the many that didn't survive deserve so much more, our prayers, thoughts, and remembrance. That place was truly Hell on Earth. The last time I was there was for a Carnival Ball, and I may never, ever go there again.
Matt sent word our building is standing with relatively minor wind damage, no flooding, and still sealed from the looters, thanks to the security gating I installed a few years ago. My clinic is pretty much destroyed. What the water didn't get, the looters did.
I am just today online, and trying to learn to type with a cast please forgive the typos. (nothing dramatic, I slipped, fell, and broke the same arm I broke when and fell off my bicycle on Chartres.)
I stayed at the Hospital with so many amazing Nurses and Doctors and clerks and even kitchen and maintence people, with no power, few lights, (I learned the emergency lights have batteries that will run out sooner than you would think) until the last patient was evacuated.
At Armstong, I slipped on the wet and fell, and they put me on the plane with my patient. We landed in Dallas Texas, and Leigh found me at the Hospital there. We went to Houston, looking for our friends, and decided to settle nearby.
I have sort of new look, my hair is longer now than it has been in years, and darker, and thinner, and I now weigh 88 pounds! (didn't have much to eat for a bit, didn't feel like it after.) Good thing I didn't bring any clothes, 'cause they wouldn't fit anyways. So now I have an excuse to shop!! (like I needed one)

Thanks MusicMan and Lilith.
So many had it so much worse. Believe me I am thankful to be here.
But I must know about Babybunny, she lives/lived just north of us. Has she been here?

I was also thinking of you. I have been reading the forums at WWLTV and was really considering putting out an all points for Wicked Wanda! LOL
I am glad that you are safe, things can be replaced, but people can't.

Glad to hear your safe.
Babybunny via her profile was online last on September 16, so she must be alright.

Her profile says Louisiana and I think LA is the abbreviation for the state

Don't worry, I'll get my head around this foreign geography yet.
So I'm back to worrying.
