All Is Well So, you may have noticed that I have given myself a medical leave of absence for a while. That is because I have had what was eventually diagnosed as a bone infection in my back (osteomyelitis). I give it a 1-star review, Do Not Recommend. Still yet, as a beautiful but lesser- known Christmas carol goes, “All Is Well”. I am starting antibiotic treatment, both oral and IV this week, after having this since August. So I’m thankful for finally some good medical care. I have had extraordinarily good care in Marshall (shout out to Boston Mountain, Dr. Blair, and Robin), it’s when you get to the specialists in the city that things can bog down, and bog down they did.

Good morning to you! I usually write of the night, but I forgot to write last night so I’m up this morning and thought I would try to write a little bit. Hope all of you are doing well and had a good Christmas with your family. We had a wonderful time with ours. We had ours a little early, on the 21st so most could be here. We missed Jimmy and Aneilya, and Aaron’s girlfriend Avery, but we got everyone else worked in. Aaron had to leave on Sunday the 23rd to get on his way to the Liberty Bowl at Memphis. He is there having a big time! He has a practice every day, an outing with the team, and then some free time. They are staying in the Peabody and having the time of their lives, I’m sure! I am anxious to see the game on Friday!
