We are having an early start to winter. Our driveways have been plowed twice already! When we came home from Ann Arbor on Wednesday, I was so happy to see a clear driveway. Ron had two ECP light treatments, and we saw his eye doctor to wrap up our day on Wednesday. The chronic graft versus host disease affects his eyes; they itch and burn at times, so he frequently uses eye drops. Because his tear ducts do not produce tears to keep them moisturized, the doc put plugs in the tear ducts to keep his eye drops on the eye surface for a longer period of time. He has felt some relief from those symptoms.
Christmas activities have been underway. We had a gathering in our home last Saturday…the day of the winter storm, so not everyone could come. There really was no decision to be made as the storm was widespread, windy, and everyone had about 10 inches of snow. Cale, Jess, Joey, Jack, and Allison came last night, so we could have our Christmas a week later. I have mailed my packages, and our Christmas cards are ordered; that will be a project the week after Christmas! We hope to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning in BG. I have felt very busy the past month, starting with Ron's hospitalization in November. It was a shock when December arrived, and I knew that I had so much that I wanted to do for the holidays! We have enjoyed Christmas greetings from family and friends. It will be nice to sit down with our cards and read those messages again.
It was drizzly rain and fog late this afternoon which was actually perfect weather for a nap and winding down. Apparently that appealed to Ron, too, because he has been taking a long nap.
