INFORMATIVE AND I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE, YOUR HOME SOUNDS LOVELY AND

PEACEFUL, IM GLAD YOU STAYED WITH THE GROUP AND ARE FEELING BETTER. GAYLE, YOUR

WORDS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SO KIND, HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH YOU. IF THERE IS ANYONE

ELSE I MISSED, I APOLIGIZE, IT IS 4:50 AM, AGAIN UP BECAUSE THIS 40MG OF

PREDNISONE WONT LET ME SLEEP. I GO TO MY G.I. FOR MY FIRST CHECKUP TOMORROW

SINCE I STARTED THE SANDIMMUNE AND PRED. (3 WEEKS NOW) HAD MY LABS DONE LAST

WEEK. WISH ME LUCK! I HEAR ALOT OF YOU COMPLAINING ABUT PAIN IN YOUR LEFT SIDE,

WELL I HAVE TERRIBLE PAIN IN MY " RIGHT " SIDE, IS THIS NORMAL OF AIH? ALSO THE

FATIGUE DURING THE DAY WEARS ME OUT, BUT CANT SLEEP AT NIGHT, HOPE THE DOC WILL

GIVE ME SOMETHING TO HELP. I TOOK OFF FROM WORK TOMORROW TO SPEND NEW YEARS EVE

WITH MY FAMILY, HAVE DINNER PLANNED WITH EX'S PARENTS (THEY HAVE BEEN GREAT THRU

THIS BREAKUP AND WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF MY FAMILY) ALSO JOES DAD & GIRLFRIEND

AND GRANDMA WILL BE THERE. THEN WE ARE HAVING SEVERAL COUPLES COME OVER TO

CELEBRATE THE NEW YEAR WITH US, AND PLAY POKER (yeah!) LOOKING FORWARD TO IT,

ITS THE FIRST PARTY WE'VE HAD. ALL IS JUST WONDERFUL WITH JOE! I CANT BELEIVE I

EVER DOUBTED MY LOVE FOR HIM OR HIS FOR ME. LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HE DID. HE WAS

STAYING WITH HIS SISTER ON THE OTHER COAST, HE WAS SUPPOSED TO COME HOME THIS

WEEKEND. CHRISTMAS EVE, BRIANNA (my 6 YR OLD)

AND I COME HOME AFTER I WORKED, WE ARE GETTING READY FOR SANTA. (MILK & COOKIES

ETC)

JOE CALLED ME RIGHT BEFORE I LEFT WORK AND SAID HE WAS STILL AT HIS COUSINS

HOUSE AND HE WOULD MEET ME ONLINE AROUND 11:30 pm, I GO ONLINE AND CHECK MY

MESSAGES AND THERES ONE FROM HIM THAT SAYS " MERRY X-MAS " THATS IT. I GO IN MY

BEDROOM TO PUT MY SHOES AWAY AND I SEE BRIANNA'S RIDING MOTORCYCLE PUT

TOGETHER(which he knew i was having trouble with) IM THINKING, 'WHO GOT IN THE

HOUSE? " THEN I THINK TO MYSELF " NO WAY " I CHECK HIS SIDE OF THE CLOSET AND HIS

CLOTHES ARE THERE, I RUN OUT TO THE LIVING ROOM AND YELL FOR BRIANNA " JOES HOME

JOES HOME " AND WITH THAT HE RUNS OUT OF HER BATHROOM (where he had been hiding)

INTO MY ARMS. WE HELD EACH OTHER AND CRIED. HE SAID HE JUST COULDNT BE AWAY FROM

US FOR CHRISTMAS. IT WAS THE BEST PRESENT I COULD EVER WISH FOR, AND ONE I WILL

NEVER FORGET. HE HELPED ME ALL DAY TO CLEAN THE HOUSE FOR OUR PARTY, WE ARE

VERY EXCITED. WELL I GUESS I RAMBLED ON AND ON ENOUGH NOW. MY BROWNIES ARE READY

TO TAKE OUT OF THE OVEN, AND THEN MAYBE I CAN GET A LITTLE SLEEP, SO I CAN STAY

AWAKE FOR THIS PARTY. AGAIN HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!
