People started arriving in Atlanta on the Friday before Thanksgiving. The activity began gradually and increased as more and more people arrived. There were 29(!) people gathered at Mama’s and Papa’s on Thanksgiving Day. The weather was good enough to sit on the porch and we were able to relax and just enjoy being together. Though some members of our family are no longer with us, they weren’t far from our thoughts.
During the week Laura’s energy went from almost non-existent to being able to move around. She still tires easily and is battling mouth sores and the lack of an appetite. The tough thing is feeling hungry, but not having food taste very good. If any of you have any tricks or ideas of ways to make the food taste better or things she could try to eat that would give her some more energy, please leave a comment on the comments page.
Friday night Laura felt good enough to attend the play “The Santaland Diaries” and to go to our friend, Jean’s house afterwards for dessert. It was good to see her laugh and relax a little bit.
Finally, for those of you who are part of the Kindle surprise, Laura says a HUGE “thank you.” Not only will she receive a Kindle very soon, she’ll also have plenty left over for lots and lots of Kindle books. Judy won’t give us any names, but you know who you are and Laura really is thankful. (It should be in her hands by December 11th or so.)
Laura thinks she has the best friends --and family :-) -- in the world. Thank you for all you’ve done.
It’s going to be a tough road ahead, but she’s gonna make it – with flying colors, too!
GoFightWin!

Laura,
I know it's hard to eat when nothing taste good. I'm just now getting to the point where food sounds pretty good & I've been able to eat a little more. Small amounts more often would probably be best. I tried drinking "Boost" with extra protein (strawberry). It wasn't that bad & think it helped boost my energy level. If you could possibly drink something like that with protein a couple of times a day it may help. Also, I've been eating an egg a day which I think helps with the energy level. Of course, drinking lots of liquids help...however, it's easier said than done when you're not feeling good. I try to keep a record of liquid intake which helps me drink what is recommended.
Love Ya!
Phyllis
