Dear Betsy,
I received a letter from your dad today with both Kirstie and your pictures in it. They are excellent and I am so proud of you. You have really worked hard for service points. This is a different typewriter and works hard for me. So how do you like having Sandy around? I miss her a lot and you also. I hope she can pass school and get into Rainbows. My hand has not improved and it is frustrating. My feet and legs are really red. Today I used the cane most of the time. The doctor may send me to MAYO the first week in June. It is so far away and the disease is so rare. I hope you can get Sandy to stick with her diet and exercise program. Are you sewing? I wish I could. I am still packing Sandy's things into boxes. I haven't even looked in the basement yet. I will send them UPS with Ronnie probably this weekend. I hope your asthma is better and you are doing okay in school. I am sending a little section from the paper. You will have to trim it as I can't. Today Grandma and Grandpa have been married 43 years. It is hot here now which doesn't help my legs. They like it cool. I have to take iron pills and stomach pills for the ulcer. I lost a lot of blood. It is getting late at night and I have to get up early for physical therapy at the hospital. I will be enclosing some coupons for all of you to use. It helps the grocery bill. Dad gets my groceries for me.
I just woke up and it is 3 AM and my feet are in a pan of cold water. I am going to start going to bed early and getting up early. It is hot here. So, is Sandy happy? Are you glad she came? When are you coming to see me? I will try and send some grocery coupons in this letter. This typewriter is terrible.
This is a different typewriter and very old but it is easier to use. It much be 60 years old or more. At least it does type for me. I can hardly write. I have lots of boxes packed for Sandy and they are in the middle of my living room waiting for Uncle Ron to come and tape and take to UPS. I hope he comes soon. I still have her hampster things to gether and send. Plus my mom has her clean laundry to put in a box. The apartment is a mess but it really will look better soon. How are your school grades? Are you going to summer school? What will you take? I wish I could sew me a few clothes. I need to wash my hair. It is a problem trying to decide where to do it. The doctors want to do a small surgery on my leg to see if there is a certain disease there in the tissue. I wish they would have done it in the hospital. I am supposed to go to MAYO clinic on June 4th. I would have to fly there and see what they say and do. I would know no one. Have you been swimming yet this year? I wish I could swim again. It sure helps the back. Well, I must close and pick up some messes and try and make my bed. Plus I have to make a list for Grandpa to go to the store and get me some food. Please take care of yourself and write me please, soon. Remember that I miss you and love you very much. Come see me soon.
All my love to you,
Your Mom forever,
Mom
