Hi to group/Tonia!

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I haven't posted much lately but do try to read when I can

and keep up with you all. I've been fighting

ainfection/inflammation in the incision from the pec minor surgery I

had back in October, apparently a suture that was festering and

irritating the area. Last week I went in and had a local surgeon

open the incision, he couldn't visualize the asuture so it either

finally dissolved or is so close you can't see it, and there was no

pus present, so good news. But very irritated! He closed it again

with regular stitches, and if all goes well this time I will get

them out Dec 13. This thing abcessed 2 times, drained pus twice,

and I went through 2 rounds of antibiotics and still had a fluid-

filled pocket on top of the incision! Stubborn cuss! So hope to be

able to start PT and return to warm water therapy once these

stitches are removed!

Tonia, I have some things my 9 year-old has outgrown, some her older

siter wore but the 9 year-old didn't like, you know how that goes.

ANyway, if you let me know what sizes your girls wear and your

address I'd be happy to get them to someone who could use them. And

I'm in IL, it's not that big a deal for postage, so I wd like to do

this. I may have winter boots too. Don't have any boys though -

wonder if we hadn't stopped at two? Anyway, you can send me the

info at bjones@...

What's your weather been like? We got a bad snowstorm the day

before Thansgiving, I went back to bed at 9:30 a.m. and stayed there

til 5:30, the cold just got me right down to my bones. Think it is

whenever a big wether system change, once the weather stabilizes it

is at least more bearable. It hasn't been horribly cold overall yet

for this time of year, is supposed to hit 51 tomorrow, it could stay

like this til spring far as I'm concerned. Like that's gonna happen

LOL!

Take care and stay safe and warm everyone and hope your days are

bright and sunny and your pain is less,

beth
