Re: Lou, the PF (Persitent Fighter)

[Guest guest]

Hi Jane: I love " Boss Jane " . so cute. Every day I have to be very

persistent to fight this disease with all I can muster. Some days

are better than others. I love Boss Jane, means (JANE IS IN CHARGE)

right??????

Christmas is so commercial and it is all about buying presents for

people you hardly speak to anymore, so this year our families decided

to just be together, have fun, eat together and enjoy the heck out of

each others company. And to know in our hearts that God has Blessed

all of us in His own way, somehow wanting us at this stage in our

lives to cope with this disease. It is not what He has given us, but

it is an OPPORTUNITY that he has given us to give all the pain and

worry to HIM and he will give us what we need to survive and yes,

Jane, it is a shame that Christmas has become so material. We loved

it so much as kids but we also knew the MEANING of it as we were

taught very early on.

I LOVE YOU THIS DAY

Jane ... I have to tell you my grandmother called me "the Bell Cow".

On my great-aunt's farm (her sister) there was "the cow" who always lead the herd to the barn for milking...she had a big bell around her neck and we could hear them coming from her first move toward home.

Gramma said I was like that, always leading the herd. lol

Hi Lou

I like your new nickname. My nickname, given to me by my grandmother is Boss Jane. That name comes back to haunt me, thanks to my loving family. I think I would like to be known as a persitent fighter rather than Boss Jane!

When are you having your eye surgery? Peggy told me when she had hers, she had a ?block? anesthesia. What kind of anesthesis have you had? I am going back to the eye surgeron next Friday. He specializes in corneal surgery because I also have corneal dystrophy. He prescribed drops for me to use for three weeks. (I hated those drops) because the blood vessels had grown all over the cornea. The cataract will be tricky to deal with because of the cornea. He also told me about correcting the astigmatism with that implant that you talked about. I had no idea the price was outrageous. I haven't been quoted any prices yet so I will be careful. However, when I see him next Friday, he may say, nothing needs to be done yet!

Eddie & I went to an awesome Christmas play last night, was there, too, with her Bible study friends. We were sitting with my sister and her husband when Eddie's phone rang. It was and she told us that she was sitting behind us. We both stood up and looked back and she was sitting with a guy. told us later that some of her friends saw Eddie and said to her, "Is that your dad?"

I noticed something in the paper today. Someone commented: Look up 10:1-5 in the Bible and read about the Chrsitmas Tree. After I looked it up, I thought, "Why do people have to take everything out of context?"

Hope everyone has a good Saturday. Eddie is ringing the bell this afternoon after work so I hope he won't be mad when he comes home to a home that is in the process of getting cleaned up! I know he will be mad at me!

Toodles!

That's sound like a great idea to me, Barbara.
