Pegasus Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 It can be awesome! I'm currently in the hospital recovering from surgery. My throat is sore and voice is hoarse from intubation. I just spent a very enjoyable evening texting with two DDs and one sister. Loved it. I just got my very first smartphone at Christmas. I still don't heavily use it. But it was perfect for today. 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I text very selectively, but it can be such a blessing! Feel better soon, surgery can be so rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb_ Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I hope you feel better :grouphug: All five of our grown kids plus my husband and I are on a giant group text that has been going on forever. That's where we go to goof off, post happenings, share dumb cartoons or picturez, and urge each other to take political actions. Sort of like Facebook but way more private :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz CA Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I never texted when it cost an arm and a leg but as soon as the charges came down, we made use of it. Speedy Recovery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Aww, ya'll are so sweet. Thank you for all the wishes, hopes, and prayers; all are gratefully accepted. I wanted to post about my reversal of position on texting and wanted to set up the situation that convinced me. Was not expecting all the comments on recovery. Surgery was this morning and I immediately felt better than before surgery overall. Even the case manager nurse commented that she could tell that I was feeling better by the smile on my face. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Glad you are feeling better! The hoarseness is annoying but will pass soon. I was the same way about texting when I had a regular phone. But it's been fantastic for keeping in touch easily. It was super helpful when I was in the hospital.

2squared Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Texting is awesome. I love group texts with my kids, and they are young. It helps keep us connected even with the kids growing up and going their own directions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Oh I know I'd love texting. That's why I won't buy one of those phones. LOL I'd love it a little too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
