Lois's last journal entry to her CaringBridge Site, Dec 17, 2010 11:18am following her 75th birthday party & clean bill of health...

Hi.!!I think I have recovered!!!From my birthday celebration that is!!!And how do I recap it??It was a gathering that should have gone on for a week!It would have given me an oopportunity to tell a story about every one there! You are all so unique!!! The music was wonderful{thanks Joe and yours; and Roger, Joe and Chad; and Bill with your background piano music and accompanyment to the great" Dumpster Provides" new release composed by Barb and sung by Barb and Liz } I hope people found the door prizes useful-- it helped with the decluttering process in my house somewhat////the current weather conditions have kept me out of the allys and dumpsters for the time being, so I haven't recluttered yet!!!! It was a year ago yesterday when they got the results from my appendictomy where they had discovered my cancer cells ,which brought to an end my repeated phrase "at least it's not cancer"//// a year has passed and this Christmas looks much brighter than last !!!I think I am doing great-I see my oncologist next week and will see what she says !I wish the best for all of my wonderful friends and hope for you good health this coming year or years and years!!!!Good Health is such a gift!!!Thanks to all of you !!!!Love to you////lois
