Hi there

[denise3606]

It is now 131 days and I am so proud of that..I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family..I did do a lot of work in spite  of my pain..I would rather do stuff in pain than do nothing in pain. Felt good...I am still scheduled for surgery January 15. I am doing so much better mentally. I just can't believe the fog I used to be in..Now I am feeling and it hurts much of the time, but I am working my way through it with lots of prayers and realizing that things are just what they are and move on. I am so grateful for all I have...I am only buying for my grand kids this year and I am so okay with that...I am leaving for my trip with one of my daughters on the 19th of this month..This is the first Christmas I will be away from my family...My daughter and I are going to Prague, Budapest and to see The Nutcracker in Vienna, Germany and I forgot where else..We have planned this for a long time..It is a good thing because I would not have the money to do it now...Hee hee..Lots of Hugs to all of you for always being there for me...And by the way it ***** getting older, but all in all I do a lot for and old broad...
