I will copy Donna's email below - sounds like she is doing much better
although bet she sleeps for a couple days as they never let you sleep in
there.
Take care,

Found a use for those refrigerator packs that come with my Humira.
Our local meals on wheels program was asking for these.  I'm also

Hey folks, we are totally sick of this f-Michigan weather. IT SUCKS!!!
Anyway, my wife and I have often toyed with the idea of living in Michigan

We went to church for the early evening service last night.  I got smart,
feeling pretty good, and stood for the whole first hymn - not smart.  Knee
and back really complaining today.  I guess choir is out completely, now.
Might as well decide than to let it hang.  We don't have ...

Wishing you all a happy and pain-free holidays!
Wasn't too sure about mine as my back has been trash for the last week or
two. Couldn't hardly move without serious back pain. Had a bowl of soup for
lunch yesterday and as I carried it to the table I felt the tiniest

Would everyone please add Donna to the list for prayers and thoughts.  She
has once again been admitted to the hospital due to her asthma.  No phone
calls because her voice is gone please.  She has been through so much too
this year.
