Christmas is what you make it ???!!

Well, the good thing about today is…it isn’t yesterday. The REALLY good thing about today is realising that, there are an awful lot of people out there and  we are very loved. We knew that some people had got “sort of” fond of the city slickers up on the hill but we had no idea just how much ”sort of” fond had grown over the days months and years we have been lucky enough to have been included as friends to the folks around here and those across the pond.  I think that maybe Facebook may have to build our “wall” bigger, Sooooo many people have taken time out of their day to send us their best wishes and prayers, if I don’t get better soon I may have to send a complaint to customer services. Smile. Another good thing about yesterday,…I may be a little bit “ broken” but the more time you are forced to spend in the never ending corridors of one hospital after the other the more you recognize that, on a scale of “broken” I am low on the totem pole. Thank you all for your prayers and messages of love and on this Christmas eve’ we wish you all a very happy and very healthy Christmas holiday and new year 2012.

I think that, as our ( as in English) first lady, Queen Elizabeth famously stated in one of her annual Queens Speech to the nation “ This has been my annus horriblus” ( no, she doesn’t have, I don’t think, a horrible bottom ! ) I think it is latin for horrible year. So, just like the queen so many years ago, I have had a HORRIBLE year actually I don’t think I would be lying if I said, at this moment in time, I had a horrible butt too !  

Yesterday I had a bone biopsy taken from my spine and my spine DIDN’T want to part with any bits, biopsy or not !!! Oh my goodness, on a scale of 1 to 10, when can you elevate to 11 to 20 ? So the biopsy tell will them ( whom ever “they” are) if I need yet another surgery ( number 4 ) this year. Up till this moment in time I think I can honestly say that I do not swear….though I do have, I’m sure, a very comprehensive swear list that would (I’m sure !!!) make even the worst Marine swear !!.So, someone, somewhere has a piece of ungraciously donated bit of me on a  microscope slide possibly with the remains of a Christmas cookie. Sometime soon, I firmly believe, I WILL be “not broken”..and even better….back on my horse, Charm, with as much attitude as him or maybe even more !

Well, it's time to go back in to Tacoma and get the needle into my arm ready for the anti biotic infusions....I guess it's true what they say, " Christmas is what you make it "..where's the bottle of wine ??????!!!!!"
Take care, keep safe and please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. M

I know it has been a strenuos time for you and Greg, but the Lord does not give us more than we can handle and is there to help us. That I know. I hope that you and Greg had a nice Christmas day. I spent it with Becky and her family and in-laws. Then came home and had a quiet evening. These next couple of weeks my sewing machine and kitchen are closed. I am going to relax after a busy two weeks of cooking and finishing Tony's quilt. I am going to answer some and letters and try to just relax.Ha!!.
