Good evening friends,

Wow, did it turn cold today, and raining all day as well, which made it seem even colder.  I had to have a sweater on all day in the apartment, even while working.

You all are so busy, but I am glad you are all able to do so.

Maggie, your granddaughters are so very lovely.  I know you are very proud of them and rightfully so.  I know they love you and cherish you as well.  Your decorations are lovely.  I do hope to just get a few things put up this weekend.  Granddaughter Emily is supposed to come and help me.  She loves decorating, and is very creative, reminds me of myself when I was younger.  I always loved creating things, making crafts, decorating, etc.  I am glad she does this.   Her sister, Ashton, is not as much into decorating, etc...lol. 

Peri, what a busy schedule you have, and hope you enjoy every moment.

Tootie, you have lots of things to do and places to be as well.  Just remember to take time for you.

Elsie, as well, you have lots to do, and you are still recuperating as well, so just take it easy in between events and rest. 

Jean, I hope you enjoy your time out with your friend.  Those shots are not fun.  I have a friend who has those as well, and her vision isn't improving either, but she continues with the shots.  I know we never know what we would until faced with that particular situation, but I find it hard to think I would take the shots if they weren't helping because I just don't like them messing with my eyes.  Especially, after that last steroid shot in my eye caused the lid to droop which in turn caused me to have to have the last two surgeries.

My eye is improving as far as looks, actually looks much better than before the surgery as the eye looks much more open (no drooping) . I still have a bit of bruising and swelling, but the main bother is still the blurry vision off and on.  I see him on Friday and will find out..it is still swollen enough that it isn't closing completely/tightly when I try to sleep; however, it has only been a week tomorrow, so can't expect it to heal overnight.

I have been thinking about something that is bothering me a lot.  I belong to a few other groups, and one of the groups have members whom I have become very close to.  The Manager of the Group is such a wonderful Christian lady and she and I have become very close.  That group is a big part of her world/life as she is a bit like David and never leaves her house except once a week, every Friday, to get her hair done.  She does not talk on the phone, and communicates only through the group and through e-mail.  She has never missed a day posting, and/or doing her games, etc.  Well, we have not heard from her since last Friday, and we have become so worried sick that something had happened to her.  Her hubby isn't in the best of health and was needing to go into the hospital, so we have all feared something was wrong.  One of the members was finally able to get in touch with her hubby today before he went into the hospital.  Our friend/manager fell Saturday, striking her head and getting banged up pretty bad and has been in the hospital.  She then developed a bladder infection and is going to have to go to rehab for about a week or so because her hubby will not be there to take care of her.  I know this is long, but it has worried me.  We did not have anyone to contact to check on her.  We did not know any of her children or had any of their numbers.  So, a page has been set up for "emergency numbers" for the members so that if something happens we can contact a family member and/or friend to check on one another.   I was just thinking we might need to do this as well, and if we don't want to put it here in the group, maybe we could e-mail one another with 'emergency numbers', at least 1, maybe 2 if we have them?  Just wanted to run it by you all and see what you think.  You all mean so very much to me, and would hate to think something like this may happen and we can't contact someone to find out about you.  Love you all, and just think it over.

I hope you all rest well tonight; sending love, hugs and prayers
Molly
