Dear Betsy,
I thought I'd send your card early so you put it up and think of me. Thank you for your letter. I love hearing from you. Your cocktail party sounds nice. I hope you enjoy it. I will be mailing your Christmas package soon by UPS.
We may be moving to low income housing soon. I cleaned for 3 days and the lady didn't come. Bob is now in Toledo Hospital. His one and only leg and foot really swelled. He was on Prednisone 60 mgm. They reduced it to Prednisone 10 mgm. He had lots of diaretics. His blood pressure was up also.
I am having trouble with one leg. It is so hot and sore. I can't stand it or sleep at night. My cat is growing and lots of fun. She sleeps a lot and eats good. He cold is better. She was really sick and had 4 shots and pills. I am also having trouble with my stomach. I hope it is better soon or I'll have another ulcer.
Today we got 1 1/2 inches of snow but it won't last. I went to the bank and store while it snowed. It was slippery. When are you going to come see me? I miss you. I will move soon if we get the apartment. It is a long ways from here.
The Prednisone made Bob feel better. Now, he is grumpy and feels bad. I hope he is better soon. Your dad's cousin, Larry's wife, Janie is an RN and she took care of Bob one day. She is really nice.
I really loved the Thanksgiving card. I saved it in my memory box. Sandy wrote that your dad and Alison may go to Switzerland for 2 days. Lucky them! How is Kirstie? Is she still depressed because she is grounded?
Well, I will close so I can mail this for you. I have little news. Remember I love you so very much. I miss you. Write me again real soon. I play Christmas records every day.
All my love,
Mom
