Dear Betsy,
Couldn't find your address. Hope this is all right. I have hypothermia now and it is 84 degrees outside. We can't afford air conditioning.
April 25
I am at McDonalds. I had sausage with egg McMuffin. I am not hypothermic today. You can tell by my writing. Earl took the care to the dealer becasue readio and cassette player won't work. I hate not having music in the car. We listen to tapes most of the time.
That Barium test was positive for Sclorodema. So now I have to take more pills and pray for a remission. My blood work is up also. So do pray for me. Earl and I pray 2 x a day. He really loves me. I am so happy with him. We are making a linen suit for me. It is a pretty pink. I want it made for Mom's day.
Ricky is getting married May 12th. He is excited and happy. Grandma and Grandpa are going. So sorry to hear about your broken arm. What did you do when it got wet.
The disease I have is fatal - it will be watched closely.

Sorry it has taken so long to write this. Yesterday we went to McDonalds all dressed for church. I ate and got sick. Threw up. Most cases of Scleroderma occur on outside which I have but I have it in the esophagus which is why my doctor says I have to live on medicine and baby food. I cook such good food for Earl. Oh, I can have eggs, oatmeal and milk.
Earl is busy sewing my pink suit. He does a beautiful job and has a lot of patience.
All our trees and ground cover has turned green or blossomed. It is pretty. Saw a deer (doe) across the street about 6:30 PM.
Earl called the Bishop yesterday. The Bishop's Mom called me today. She is 83 and lives in Lancaster where our church is. She called me because I have no friends. Earl is my life and he really loves me. We do and go everywhere. We watch videos from the library.
Well, I am out of news and want to get this in the mail. Hop your arm is better. Remember I love you and miss you so much.
All my love,
Mom and Earl
