Keep pushing with the PT. I know it will help in the long run, just a slow, slow process. Working on Christmas here, it will be a lot smaller and calmer here I am thinking (hoping).

We have my brother here healing up. I need roller skates to go from one end of the house to the other 15 to 20 times a day. But, getting plenty of exercise. He is an all nighter type person so I get requests for coffee, egg sandwiches, etc till four or five in the morning till he settles down. The good news is he sleeps a lot during the day.

We will pick up my sister to stay with us for a few days around Christmas......now that is a true commitment as she is a real kook.......oh well I can only hope she will even remember she was here. Does not matter if she remembers or not, either way she will be a very bitter, very unhappy soul.

Getting very cold here, I hate to even go outside. The cold really tightens up my jaw and makes my jaw and neck ache even more. We are headed to Florida, the Bahamas and three other places on a cruise in January for 10 to 12 days. I know I will enjoy the warmth but not the lugging of feeding supplies.

Take care and enjoy the holidays !
