Hello Christy, sorry I have not gotten you called back.
There is nothing to report on Nana, It is the same as always and I think
going to her doctor or at least Dr. Fast is nothing but a waste of time
because he does nothing for her. We might try a rumaloligst to see if the
can help with the fibermyalga? She is having a little better week,
yesterday was not the greatest but today is better. Kris Kathy there at
riverside said she had been really blue when she has not been feeling well
and they have tried to talk her into coming to Hays, I told Nana that has to
be her choice. They are concerend about not having enough family. That is
a second time they have mentioned that to me in a year.
Yes, I will bring all of my stuff with me when I come to show you. I want
to come when your going to be there so if you can look at your Calendar and
let me know when it would be good for you and we can make time to get
together. Our compacts are really nice and not big like the older ones.
Our older ones where like to siz of a loaptop but therse are much smaller.
They are awesome. Well, I will let you go and have a great weekend and let
me know at week and day would work. Thanks Meghan
