want to take this opportunity to welcome all of the recent newcomers!
Hope you find some help and comfort from our group.

just wanted to send out a note and let you all know that i haven't
forgotten about you! life has been busy as usual here...holiday
season was a blur, but a nice one! We are getting ready to move, so
life has been a flurry of boxes and packing...picking paint colors,
wallpapper, curtains....exciting, but a lot of work. we should be
ready and moving in about 6 weeks....sigh....

anyway...hope you all are doing well....hope everyone is staying
warm...i know my mom hates this winter cold....her doc doesn't like
her going out in it if she doesn't have to. but she has been doing
pretty well lately, nothing major....all seems ok. she had a dr.
appointment recently and thigns look ok. only concern was she is due
for a colonoscopy (sp?) but hte doc isn't sure if he'll have her do it
or not....cause he has her on cumadin (sp?) and there is a risk if she
comes off if it she could have a stroke, so for a routine test he
isn't worried...if she was having problems in that area then he would
think about it....but for now he'll probably leave well enough alone....

plus my mom's dr.'s are in scranton Pa, you all probably heard about
the dr. wanting to pull out cause of malpractice stuff.....so far her
main dr. seems to be staying....but one of her other ones that she
sees once a year is thinking of closing up and laeving...so we are
hoping that it all gets worked out....

well, just wanted to let you know that i may not always get a chance
to to write, but i thnk of you all always...

let me know if there are any questions or anythign i can help
with....take care...hope to talk to ya soon...
