Many blessings received this Thanksgiving!

Hello Family and Friends,
Had a delightful gobble day with 33 folks at my home! I didn't know if I would be able to handle all the people, the cleaning of the house, the cooking, but I DID IT! We were all thankful to God that he is healing me and that he is blessing me with a little bit more memory gain than I had previously. Praise God for that! It's very frustrating to not remember what you just did or said. I know you all think that you have that problem too. When I tell folks about my short term memory, they tell me they have the same thing. They can't possibly appreciate how frustrating it is. I hope that you don't get it to the extent that I have had it. BUT, my short term memory is starting to come back, little by little. I'm still confused at times, but I am starting to remember more and more!

Bill and I celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary and it was a delight. Just having Bill home for more than 4 days was really a treat for me. One thing that he's doing for me is downsizing the business. He's gone way too much for me to be handle all that I had been handling. (That's where I've noticed my short term memory loss from.) Been making lots of mistakes, which is something that I seldom do. That will relieve a lot of the stress being placed on me. Don't get me wrong, I know I will have stress in my life, but not the kind I had before my brain surgery.

Hope you are all doing well and that God will continue to bless you. He's blessed me by giving me people like you to pray for me.

Bill and I are making plans to downsize the business and have me travel with him for at least one trip a month. He's 67 and should be retired, and I want to be with him as much as possible. He, my parents and my family have taken extra special care of me. He's a good nurse!!!!

Next doc appt. is on Jan. 9th. Pray that all goes well and that I'm still in remission! I appreciate your prayers more than you will ever know.

In God's love,
Jeanine
