hi all my friends..  Yep, here I am again,and will try writing again as have been booted 2 times already.. Sure hate that!! Well, my sisters dog was out down and she took it real good. She cried a little and then got excited about her new pj's...She loves her pj's so got her 2 new pairs of them, and she was happy.. Just like a small child, getting a  new toy...She was talking about getting a cat, but think I may have talked her out of it... She cant take care of a pet, and this is ashame,as everyone who likes animals, knows how great it is to have a pet.It is not fair to the animal to be with her,as she forgets to feed it, and of course her boyfriend hates cats, so he sure wont feed it..My husband is doing the same. Still losing weight.. Pretty soon he will be so skinny, that I could probably wrap one arm around him.. He is talkign again about another trip. We talked the other day and he said he would like to get in the car and drive up to Maine and work our way down the east coast....But with my health right now, and the dog and my sis, it is next to impossible... I just hope I wont feel guilty later on about not going..He says he knows we cant go, but it was just a thought for him. He has always liked to travel and drive to places...I saw my dr the other day and he says I am swollen on the left hand side of my body...so will do an MRI as soon as they can get it scheduled.. He has no idea why this is going on, and to tell you the truth, I sure did not notice.. He did say, that this may be the cause of the pain I am having with my legs not moving with me.. I went to a store the other day, and, I could barely get back to the car.. After getting to the car, my leg was impossible to lift up to get in, so hubby had to pick up my left leg and put it into the car.Geeze, and I am suppose to be taking care of him!!!!! Today I am suppose to take my mother in law to her dr,as she always wants me with her when she talks to him,so I sure hope I will be able to get into the office without falling down on my face..Will take my walker.. I got an appointment for  my sister on the 22nd,as I am sure she needs a physcial....She is now unable to make any conversation that makes sense now. Before I could not talk to her hardly over the phone, but understood her in person.. Now, I can barely understaand what she is saying. Even her caregivers are having a time understanding her. She is now calling her caregivers "sis", and yet she remembers me when I call her.. I let her talk and talk, and even tho I do not understand much of what she says, she is enjoying our conversation..oops just got a call from my drs office and was told something is wrong with my calcium, and need to go in today for more blood work...Maybe they are on to what is wrong,and can fix it....sure do hope so... My feet are still very swollen and they dont know what is causing this either,except to say maybe it is the diabities..but they have been swollen for over 5 months now. I had quit making dolls, and got a call from a good customer, and he wants 10 more dolls.... I told him I would do it, and I already have 6 completed.. Now to find the right clothing for the remaining 4 dolls. Am up early,as had to check with e-bay..Not much there for what I need,and the things for the right price has high shipping, soooooooo will have to keep looking. But this will BE MY LAST dolls I make...Just burnt out and I know it is getting harder on hubby to take them to the farmers market to sell,so it is best to end this..I also am trying to get a load of wash done before John wakes up,as he always tries to help me with it. I can put them in the washer and the dryer, but cant bend over to get them out of the dryer...I put a stool in the laundryroom, so it does help me to sit and take them out of the dryer. Takes me longer, but at least I am doing it myself..I do not know why I have to be so stubborn and try doing it myself all the time...Geeze, you would think I would love the help!! I found my son who I have not spoken to in 17 years, on classmates, so I wrote him and told him to comtact me as have something important to tell him... He did write back, only to ask what was so important... I told him about his dad, and since then, no answer from him. His bio there tells me he has 2 more children...and that he is divorced...My other son, wrote to him asking if we could call or write his other 2 kids as they are still family, and of course no answer.. Then, when I went to read his bio again, it was cleared, so it doesnt show it anymore.. So......will let him be..He has not taken care of the 2 kids he has right here, except for child support which does come in every month. Big deal, as this sure doesnt make him a dad....Have no idea why anyone could NOT see their kids...he got mad 17 years ago,as noone liked his 2nd wife and he moved away from here. I read thst he was married agian but of course now divorced.. Have no idea what made him so darn angry...especially with his kids.. I would love to meet his other children,but for now, will have to keep it on the back burner.. John wanted no part of him,as since he left his kids here and never wrote nor called them made my hubby upset with him.. John says he can be angry at everyone but not his kids,so he has no resopect for our son.. Guess the "mother" inme kept looking for him, and when I found him, well he did not even care enough to write back,, I opened the door and he once again closed it..So, will try not to bother him again...Gee, my life sounds like a soap  and it really isnt. Well, maybe a little bit it is!...I had better get off this computer and get my clothes into the dryer and then get ready to take mother in law to drs... I do not write often, but when I do, it sure is a book! Love to all my friends here.........and big hugs!!!
