Is everyone ready for Christmas????? So far I have all the presents purchased but haven't wrapped them. I also have not done my Christmas cards.... oh my!!!!
I spent last Tuesday through Thursday back in the hospital due to abdominal pains, low white blood count and anemia (the usual). My new year's resolution is to stay out of the hospital!!! After the first of the year I'll have a test done where I swallow this large capsule that is actually a camera. I'll wear a fanny pack for about 12 hours that contains the mechanism that records what the capsule/camera sees. It will check out my small and large intestine to see what in the world is going on in there. It will also check to see if there is any cancer in the small intestine. Today's technology.....

The weather here has been crazy. One day it's hot and the next day is cold. Everyone's allergies I'm sure are going nuts too. I know mine are.

Christmas will be busy this year as usual. Christmas Eve day will be spent with my mom and stepdad and my step aunt's house (she lives in the same subdivision as me). Then we'll head over to David's brother's house (luckily also in the same subdivision) and open presents and eat dinner. David's mom flew in from Pennsylvania last Tuesday. Then David and I will go to church for the Christmas Eve service (which is absolutely beautiful at our church). Christmas day we will get up and go to my grandma's for the day, then head back home that evening because David's mom is flying home the day after Christmas (we want to spend that last night visiting with her). So it'll be run, run, run.....

I finally set up an account on Facebook at my friend's urging. That website is so addicting!! I've gotten back in touch wtih many of my high school friends. I've had so much fun looking at everyone's photos. Facebook is similar to Myspace but I think a whole lot better. I don't like myspace. Facebook seems to be for an older generation like us. So if you are on Facebook or join it, email me and let me know so I can add you as one of my friends. email me at kbm927@gmail.com.

Well, that's all for now. If I don't get a chance to post again this week...... I hope everyone has a very MERRY and BLESSED CHRISTMAS!!!! And I hope Santa leaves you lots of terrific presents!

Who ever said "bald is beautiful" obviously was never bald. I think some woman came up with the phrase to soothe her husband's ego when he was losing his hair. Maybe men look good with no hair but women are another story. God have us hair to the end for a reason. As you can probably guess.... MY HAIR STILL IS NOT GROWING BACK and i'm getting really frustrated. I have even less hair now than in the picture on my prior post.
My internet has been down for over a week so I've not been able to post. It's like the world is ending when our internet goes down. We had to order a new modem.
Well, last month I spent a lot of time in the hospital. My stomach was really hurting bad and my white blood count was super low. I was in the hospital for about four days each time. My doctors put me on some new stomach medications and I'm feeling a little bit better. My energy is still lacking. I keep being told that it comes back slowly but my gosh... this is ridiculous.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I spent Thanksgiving in the hospital on a clear, liquid diet. So I imagined my chicken broth was turkey and that my jello was green bean casserole.
I'm sorry, I've got to make this posting a little more happier...... well.... my mother in law is flying in Tuesday. Lot's of cleaning to do before then. David is doing a lot of it today for me. Such a good husband. Christmas is almost here and I've done all my shopping online. Thank goodness.
The weather has been pretty cold here in Houston and we even had snow flurries the other day. Most of the day it was either snow flurries or sleet. Nothing stuck to the ground though. We never get snow in Houston so it was a nice change. I love cold weather but it makes my chest hurt where my sterum was cut open for my surgery two years ago. I can always tell when it's going to rain or when we are going to get cold weather.
I guess that's about all for now. I wish it was a happier post but just haven't been that happy lately. I thank God that I'm alive and well and in remission. I just wish He'd give me my hair and energy back soon! The good news is that thanks to all of you lovely people, I have lot's of hats and scarves to wear!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so blessed :-)
