It's now the middle of December and the Holiday Rush is here. I can't say that I've been rushing around...I've mostly been at home resting and recovering and trying to find things I can eat without too much trouble. I am getting better, but recovery is slow...I continue to have a lot of fatigue.
I am off pain medication except for the occasional advil or tylenol and am pretty comfortable most of the time.
Christian and I were finally able to decorate our Christmas Tree this weekend, so we're now getting into the holiday spirit.
I'm hoping to be able to venture out and do a little bit more this week. I do have several doctor's appointments, including the follow up with my surgeon on Wednesday. I am starting to get a little stir crazy from being at home so much.
Thanks for all of the encouraging messages!!! As always, they are very touching and help to keep me going.
Take care!
Love,
Erica

Erica,
I just received your mom's Christmas newsletter today with this site listed. I love all the pictures and you are looking great. I am so glad you have encouraging news after your last surgery. Enjoy the holidays with family and friends! I'm on my way out to Nashville for Christmas to be with Tim, Molly, Sarah and my new granddaughter Anna.
