my absence

[Guest guest]

Dear dear friends,

To all those who sent me cards and wondered about where I was,I thank you

with all my heart.I am and have been sick for about a week,and true to my

personality,I did not slow down like I should have.My son's surgery went

very well,thanks I'm sure in part to my friends prayers and good wishes.They

moved his nerve over and removed the damaaged parts of two discs.Now he has

healing pain,but is able to do things he couldn't before the surgery,like

sit!lol Anyway,we had Christmas with him and our daughter-in-law and our

daughter and son-in-law and 3 of our grandchildren on the 23rd and earlier

with my sisters and other daughter-in-law and grand-daughter and all other

family members .I was so tired.We always celebrate with friends too,so that

was the 22nd.On the 24th we came back up north and on Christmas day my

daughter and family came up and our grand-daughter Ryenn stayed and will go

home on Tues.My arm is so bad I can't really use it to reach or lift or

anything,I've got to get that dopler test soon!I have also been having pain

in my liver on the day after my mtx shot,anyone else going through that?It

makes me crazy because there is no position that makes it better.Ok enough

whining,I am so sorry I couldn't get cards out this year,my hands just don't

let me write long. Besides sleeping alot.Your card was so right on Melt.I

laughed until I cried when I read it!So many of you were so kind and I truly

do thank you.All in all I had a great Holiday and am so grateful for all

I've got.I hope all of you who are very sick are getting what you need from

loved ones.I know you're getting it here.I love all of you.I hope everyone

has a great pain-free New Year.

Love Elly
