Hi, Everyone!

I feel so bad that I have not been able to write, call, or even read some of the posts with all that has been going on the last couple of days! The weather here has been terrible and we have been having 50 to 60 mile an hour winds and trees falling and car accidents all over! My sister has been very sick from the Vertigo and may put her back in the Hospital. My Mom is going to be scheduled for surgery right after Christmas and will have a cast on her arm for at least six weeks and will not be able to drive! Should be fun for the both of us getting around then. I guess we will be taking care of each other!

Well yesterday was a wonderful day for me. I had to get my injection in my spine for my pinched nerve and also did not know, but was going to give another type of injection for my RSD. I love my neurologist so much even though he does not have the greatest personality, he is one of the best doctors I have ever seen and has an incredible knowledge of what he does! This morning was the first time in over two weeks that I could get out of bed like a normal person with not that much pain. I am so excited and even woke up at a normal time! I really had tears this morning, because have not felt this good in months!!!

I really hope it begins to stay this way and have two more injection in the next six weeks!!! I also should have my SSDI case coming soon. This has only been about two years!!!!!!!!!

I did have one terrible thing happen yesterday though. I had to drop Holly at the Vets on my way to the doctors yesterday and they thought that she had a skin irritation and would need a medicated bath. Both Mom and I thought no big deal until we were ready to leave and found out that this was not the problem, she had severe fleas!!!!!!!!!! This means that the cat also had them, and the previous owner of Holly said that she had flea and tick meds in her and I did not have to worry for six months!!! This was joke obviously and it cost me almost $200 for that visit and have to bring her back in a week or so and get checked again along with the cat! They gave me many meds for the both of them and Holly is on alot of meds, and Emma has a few also. I am going to Mom's today and all blankets, bed linens and anything on can get my hands on must be washed! We think they came from my neighbor whose son died in the summer, because they have

four or five cats and a dog and never bring them to the vet, and when they stopped over recently, they brought the fleas with them. I am not letting them near my house again!!! I cannot go through all of this. Last night I had to vacum the entire house from top to bottom and then clean out the vacum entirly washing all the filters so the fleas do not spread!!! This is the first time in ten years I had this problem and will not go through this crap again! Why people have pets and do not take care of them I will never know, but I am not going through any of this nonsense again, and I am only letting people into my house if I know they take care of there animals and are not going to comtaminate my home!!!

Once again I am so sorry for writing such a novel and not keeping up on all of your posts! As soon as I have this house in order will try to reach out to all of you! Ginny I have not heard from you in a while and hope that all is well with you. If you get a chance please call and fill me in. Should be home tonight after I get the laundry done. Today is very nice here finally. To everyone else on the digest, I hope that all is going well and everyone having pain free days! I hope to catch up with all of you soon, and hope all are ready for the Holidays!!! Take Care and LOL and Best Wishes Always!!!
