Hello love Hope you get both messages on the same day else you’ll be nuts - lol
So - I just hung up from talking to Mel - she’s doing better and will be released from Kaiser tomorrow - she’s going home with Theresa for at least a few days. Theresa is at 4411 Palm Ave - Sacramento, 95842 - if you want to send a note or anything.
Mel definitely had a heart attack - she didn’t have symptoms that she associated with heart - instead she was having acute indigestion and heartburn. I’d read somewhere that women often manifest heart problems like that - more so than men - one of the reasons they call this the “silent killer”. She was petrified when they told her they were going to do the heart cath and put in stents - her mom died during the same procedure. Her mom, however, had had a major attack - Mel’s was mild in comparison. Doctor told her that she can resume her normal routine in 2 days - except no lifting for 5 days.
Theresa wants her to just move in with her, but Mel doesn’t really want to do that - doesn’t want to give up her independence, I guess. Either way, Theresa will drive her nuts for awhile, fussing over her.
Ok - no other news right now. I hope all is well with you... I love you - for always and in all ways Your Jeannie
Nothing here for the last 3 weeks - hope that doesn’t mean anything’s wrong. I had a really horrible stomach bug - one of those that just lingers on and on - hopefully all well now - or almost
Writing here - and will try to get at least a note in the mail too (it can be a race) but this is so much easier - I know I can finish this, at least. Theresa posted on FaceBook last night that Mel has had a heart attack - she’s now at the cath lab so they can see how bad she is. She’s been admitted and will have to have surgery - I’m guessing bypass (hard to get info from Theresa because she’s so flustered). Theresa is at the hospital with her, so hopefully I’ll get more news as it happens - try to write this week-end, or at least add another post here. I love you. Your Jeannie
You know what Johnny? I'm really glad I never trash talked you to our son. He's so happy to have you in his life. I know a lot of women like to talk bad about their kids father in front of them. I never could have done that. He deserved the chance to know you. You're his dad.
Hello again Johnny, and thanks for writing. I hope my transcription helps to keep you alive via pixels. Is there any way interested readers can help you with the cost of these typewriter ribbons?
Eric, This is Jessica reaching out to you. I know you know which one. I'm not sure if you got the last letter I mailed to you, but I would like to hear from you again. You can reach out to me at the A-36 address. I just don't get online too often. I look forward to your response.
Since you said you are getting out in Dallas, I am giving you information for a non-profit organization that is dedicated to helping people like you. They might be able to help you more than I could.
Best regards!

Unlocking DOORS, through its unique and nationally unduplicated “Reentry Brokerage/Predictive Trends” Model, and its coordinated and collaborative partnerships with numerous statewide agencies/community service providers and organizations (130 and counting), is building and routinizing the community-based reentry platform for Texas that will provide for a smooth and seamless transition into society for all individuals with criminal backgrounds - whether coming directly from incarceration (TDCJ, BOP, etc.) OR already residing within the community (both supervised and unsupervised).
By pulling together all resources, organizations, and programs into one coordinated effort, Unlocking DOORS allows for cross-networking, collaboration, cohesion and a stronger service model for those with criminal backgrounds. Through this model, Unlocking DOORS is helping reduce crime by guiding those with criminal backgrounds to a future of self-sufficiency that is crime-free.
