Howdy! I didn't sleep too well last night. It has been raining for about 24 hours. My fibromyalgia really acts up in low pressure weather. My brain gets foggy, too. I need a distraction from the pain. On days like this I like to crawl back into bed and watch TV or read a book. I just may do that today. First, though, on to the "Weekly Sentence" game...

Trudy served cold
meatloaf for breakfast.

arranged.

my mom, Weekly Sentence #30 letters...


Hi!  Sorry I haven't posted the six letters for the "Weekly Sentence" game yet.  I will in this entry.  I have been busy.  My mom went in for emergency cervical/spine surgery this  morning at 7 AM.  I am still waiting for a phone call to hear that she is okay.  My momma has been pretty sick the past year with nausea, numbness, problems walking, well a host of ills... and they found a problem with her disk at c-3 on her spine on an MRI.  They called her Saturday morning and told her not to move or she could be paralyzed.  So it must be pretty bad.  They scheduled her first thing for surgery this morning.  Mom will be 76 this month.  Thanks for your concern and prayers.  I will be helping mom and dad when mom gets out of the hospital in a few days, so if I am not in close contact for a week or two, you guys know why.  I was going to go to Hershey with Krissy and John and walk in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Walk, but my parents need me now.  If you got an email from John or Krissy concerning the walk and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, please consider giving!  It is such a worthy cause!!  They helped save John's life!!!  Now onto the "Weekly Sentence" game!

Before I proceed with the six letters I would like to once more congratulate last week's winners, Connie of
ANYWAY... and Rosemary of InspirationI will give you guys until Saturday morning at 9 AM EDT, since I am so late posting.  So ignore the submission date in the rules.  Speaking of the rules, if you haven't read them in a long time, or never have, please do.  Have fun with the letters!

P.S.  I just got a call from the hospital.  My mom is okay.   It was a four hour surgery.  I found out that she got a whole disk taken out.  Then they put in a metal plate in c-3 and c-4 and screws.  Wow.  She is a trooper.  She has to go to a local rehabilitation hospital to stay for awhile.  It was pretty major, but she is okay.  Thank goodness.   I have to go help my Daddy.  He is 80.   I will let you all know how it goes.
