Comment on A Successful Black Eye by Donna Peratino

Hey Ed ~

What a beautiful black eye !

Many of the post-op patients I care for also admire their successful black eyes, but not because they can see better, but because others see them about 10 years younger after an eye lift (which may or may not have been accompanied by a facelift). It is a very satisfying part-time job to have. People pay me to care for them after a facelift, breast reconstruction after cancer, or tummy tuck after too many children. They often refer to me as the “Ice Queen”, in the kindest of ways. After submitting to my care 24-48 hours post surgery, and my “icing” them down with frozen peas throughout the day and night, I achieve what is affectionately known as “The Donna Effect”, transation: minimal swelling and bruising decreasing their overall recovery time significantly. It is one small, yet important way, I feel appreciated. Black eyes, who knew !

Hope you’re enjoying this summer…which got too hot too fast !

Take care, Donna

Mr./Rev. Briggs, I really didn’t want to comment on this post, I just couldn’t find any other way to contact you. I searched for an e-mail address, to no avail – so this seemed to be the only choice.

I just wanted to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed “A Pilgrim’s Guide to Prayer.” I’ve been writing and teaching Bible Studies for a good while now, but this book is a “main stay” for all my studies and teaching on prayer.

I apologize for using this format to contact you, but after finally finding you via Google search, I just wanted to let you know.

I am looking for a plugin that will let a person sign up and then get an email automatically when there is a new post. This reminds me to keep looking as I know this exists somewhere.

Jack, can you tell me about Camp Pelissippi today? (Gosh, I think I have forgotten how it was spelled! Does it still exist? Is it anything like it used to be? How is it used today?

I had meant to ask you if you were going to be ready for your hike. You were telling me on facebook you going to have the surgery and you had a hike planned and hoped to be ready for it in time. I was going to ask but you explained everything above in your article. Enjoy the articles and if not too much trouble drop me an e-mail when you update so I can come back and read.

Ed, I was reading your article about your hiking in the East Tn Mtns & you adventure with the rattlesnake. It is or was should I say what thoughts run through a teenage boys mind at times like that. I saw where Don talked about your mohawk & peer pressure at Camp Pillissippi. I also have some great memories of Camp Pillissippi, Have a picture from the Knoxville Sentinel of me when I was on KP at camp. I was in troop 89 across town from you at the First Baptist. Enjoy your articles.

I do remember you, Don. But I had tried to forget the mohawk haircut. I blame it on peer pressure at our Boy Scout camp, Camp Pellissippi. There was a guy there who said he could give good mohawks and others were getting them and I was dared to do it and . . . anyway, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
