January already?

I'm fine. My chest is still swelling regularly and my arm hurting - but, eh what ya gonna do? I have a weird new "ouch spot" under my arm, right around where my bra band hits. It is sort of an exposed nerve feeling. The shoulder is starting to get a little more sensation, but this is not the kind I was wanting.

Prayers please for my very first roommate, Miriam who has found a couple of lumps in her breast and is waiting to find out what she is up against. We were best buddies and roommates beginning in the summer of 1980 and have gotten re-connected via Facebook. Funny how you can lose contact with people, but the love that you feel for them doesn't diminish. She is in a really scary place of not knowing and can use all the good vibes, prayers and energy you can send her way.

Had a really nice time in Mineola over Christmas with the Mitchells and Rays. Haas stayed in the room with us and was really happy for the attention. I think we will move him into our bedroom, once we get the boxes out of there! I always enjoy my time in Mineola, where there is nothing to do but eat, sleep and spend time with family.

We are making more progress on the house! Dining room table has legs now and we have the living room set up. Each little bit helps.

Steve seems to be doing fine with his treatment. I am so glad that he seems to have few problems. Mum came home Friday.
