Lots of stuff

Hi Everyone:

Jim is doing well. The methadone seems to be working fine, now. Thanks for the input, Mary. We also hope the chemo has helped it shrink, too. We didn't know you were reading, and both Jim and I feel blessed to have your prayers and your input. It's so nice to have Jim back.

Jim is really really REALLY doing well. He hasn't felt cancer pain today. He's feeling like the tumors are gone. We shall see. He's smiling a lot, something that he hasn't done in soooooooo long. He's talking about Disney, and wants to live, and hopes this works. If he had his muscles and some strength, I would say the old Jim is back. Weird. But good.

Now, this might be TMI for some of you, but Jim had a normal BM today. I'll leave it at that. That could signify that the tumors are shrunk.

Well, I have to tell you. I pricelined well. I am staying at the most fanciest place I have ever stayed in my whole life. I have a king size bed that is soooooo comfortable. I have 6 goose down pillows on my bed. I have a sitting area outside my door that overlooks the indoor atrium. It's where I had my quiet time today. I was embarrassed when I walked in. All these execs, and then there's me with my gym bag and 10 white grocery bags...lol. Well, hey, I only expected to be here 4 or 5 days. Anyway, it's lovely. but....BUT NEVER EVER GO TO A PLACE LIKE THIS AND FLIP THROUGH THE CHANNELS ON THE REMOTE CONTROL. HBO HAS PORNO. I couldn't believe it.

Well, I went to the stores today. 4 hours of shopping and I got 1 pair of slippers for Jim. We are going to watch a few movies. It's date night.

John and Leah are coming here for Christmas. I think we're going to have a nice Christmas after all.

SISTER, I NEED YOU TO SEND ME SOME LIGHTS. I'll e-mail you.

Anyway, Jim is doing very very well.

We are both smiling tonight.

Love Us

Gloria,
This news...we will take! I am also glad you are sleeping in a nice big comfortable bed :) Sleep helps EVERYTHING.

If you have speakers on the computer you use, try http://www.pandora.com
If you have never heard of it, you can create your own radio station of any music you like. You can enter Christmas selections and I am sure you will enjoy listening to it :)

Love to you and Jim,
Kimberly
