Happy New Year!
December 31
We forgot our camera, but we had a great time at Teala's sorority. We are thinking it is our 15th year (minus our two years overseas). We played games, shared highs and lows, and watched *Inn of the Sixth Happiness* before we watched the ball drop!
Knitting Visitors
December 29
I got out for the first time in 11 days to go to a movie for Teala's birthday. Then, I got a call from George to say that I needed to come home. I came home to surprise fellowship, dessert, and crafts while I lay flat on my back on a heating pad. :)
Further Convelescence
December 27
Still not able to sit or stand for very long. I am also not to type because of my tennis elbow. So, I could do brief updates on Facebook through my Christmas present: the iPod Touch.
Christmas Eve with Malay Friends
I was able to sit up for dinner and visiting. I only had one spasm that sent my fork flying and my knife crashing to the plate.
We enjoyed fish dinner and a time of lighting the advent candles!
Christmas Eve Convalescence
December 24
Aren't I a sight? The injured foot, the arm in a brace, and me trying to get my back back on track! I'll never forget this holiday season.
Well-Wishers!
December 19
My back totally blew out on December 18th, a month after my surgery. It was destined to give way under the uneven walking from the boot, lack of exercise, torque during therapy, etc.
These girls cheered me up as I lay in bed!
Physical Therapy for Tennis Elbow
December 15
This really helped. Sadly though, it contributed to my back blowout because of having to torque my back for 40 minutes while she did the treatments!
Matthew's House
December 14
Michael helped hold it up with the sticks. I think it was suffering from too much frosting!
Sourman's Tower
December 14
Christopher K. always makes the most interesting Gingerbread House creations.
Boot of Pain
December 8
The lower part of my boot that led to the height differential that led to my severe back blowout ten days later!
Before the Transformation
December 8
A momentous day. After almost three years, Michael is getting his braces off!!!!

St. Nicholas Day with My Soulmate
Dec 5
I put a ribbon on my black boot. :) Kim and I have done this together for so many years that I have lost count.
