Sunday. Fair & Hot
I come home. Don't feel so good. Had a lot of company all evening & night. Its been 10 days since my surgery. Virginia Reasor come.
Footnote: Well she finally has been released to home. That was a long time to lay in a bed, no wonder she doesn't feel so good.
My Note: I think that most of you who read this now know that Sandra had surgery this morning (Monday, Oct. 12) at Holston Valley in Kingsport. Josh reported on email that she came thru fine and they would get a report from the Dr. later today. She is supposed to go home tomorrow ( not quite the hospital stay that Aunt Estelle had in 1965). They don't keep you around now.
I talked to Mother and Janice had called her and given her an update on Sandra. Thanks to Janice, she picked up Mother yesterday (Sunday) and took her to the Mall in Kingsport to see the movie "Big Stone Gap". She said she enjoyed it and could see a lot of houses and places she knew. I don't think it is showing anywhere here so I have to wait till I can get it from the library.
I am headed to Tuscaloosa, Alabama on Thurs. to do a show this weekend. I almost cancelled but decided I am able to do it one more time. This may be the last though. The show cost $350.00 which I have already paid and there is no refund, so that heloed with the decision too. So I'll post again when I get back next week.

I was sick all nite. So come to the hospital today, put me to bed and fed me gingerale for 4 days. Allso antibiotics for infection of gall bladder.
Footnote: So I have been a little under the weather myself. Still have pain in my neck, couldn't do the MRI so just waiting for it to get worse I guess. I was able to do a show Sunday, with Rachel's help. It is one of the best shows I do and is her in Cincinnati. Weather turned out to be beautiful, in fact we got a little too much sun. My inventory is down as I haven't been able to sew or stuff any dolls, so didn't sell as much as I usually do.
Sorry about the inconsistency of my blogging but I am doing the best I can to keep up.
