Hi Celeste, I am truly so touched by your message to me. I am having a rough time right now but I keep telling myself...this too will pass. This Orthopedic doctor never told me how painful this was going to be. I am just misrable and sitting here alone today. My husband took off alot of time from work during my surgery so he finally went back yesterday. Since it's Disneyland he works today too. (Disneyland employees don't get Holidays off if your scheduled to work.) So it's a very quiet Thanksgiving for me. Just me & the two furkids. lol

But I was surprised by my brother...out of the blue today he stopped by un-announced and dropped off a HoneyBaked Turkey breast for me.

That was so sweet of him. I'm not up to standing in the kitchen or anything...but at least I was able to stand there long enough to make me a turkey sandwich...delicious. If I could just get this pain under control I would feel so much better. But for today I am just counting my blessing for all my wonderful her2 sisters...the fact I now have this femur surgery behind me...and I'm out of that darned hospital. Thanks so much for thinking of me. Here's wishing you and yours a wonderful thanksgiving and all the best that it brings with it.

(I'm keeping everyone here in my thoughts and prayers.) You all enjoy. Again...thanks so much Celeste.
