Happy New Year!
Hi Everyone!
We hope that everyone had a great Christmas, as we did. We had such a nice time in MN - loved being with everyone, had a great time with Evan, Abbie, Drew & Owen, and were so glad that Kurt & Mattie could make the trip down on Saturday. We had a nice visit.
I still haven't had my last treatment!! It was supposed to be the 29th, but due to machine malfunctions, it was postponed until next week! We were not happy at all! Not only did I get to finish up as we had hoped, but it will carry over on our insurance deductible. I know that we will again have a tremendous amount of expense as they will monitor me closely, but it's the principal of the thing. So, I called the hospital, talked to a few people, explained that it wasn't my fault, etc., etc., They called back and the last treatment will be at no charge!!
Wednesday, I left work, not feeling well, went to my treatment, came home and have been sick ever since with the flu. They're concerned that I'll get dehydrated and need to come in for fluids, so they're watching that closely. With my immune system already down, it will take longer to get over it. Each day is a bit better, so that's good, but what a way to celebrate New Years!! 2007 has to be better!!
Sam has a big day planned for today - Iowa basketball today at noon and Iowa playing in the Alamo bowl at 3:30, so he's excited. Plus, since I'm not eating, he's eating lots of venison that he shot a couple weeks ago! Yum, yum. I'll stick to my crackers and 7 up, thank you!
Have a safe New Year and a healthy and happy 2007!
Love,
Karen

Hi Karen and Sam,
Glad you had a good Christmas, but sorry to hear you now have the flu. You are just wrapping up 2006 in a big way as a year of 'unfun' things !! So, as you say, 97 will be better.
It is said you don't appreciate the rainbow unless you've had the rain, so as you go forward, regaining strength and health, you will know and understand the full meaning, and the joy it will bring as you work through the winter to spring.
God Bless....
