First, let me apologize for any typos, spelling errors etc. up front. I just got access to a computer for a few moments, but it doesn't have any of my adaptations made to it, so I can't actually see what I'm typing. I really hope my fingers are on the right row!
Second, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there! I really wanted to get a Thanksgiving post done before I left home, but with work etc. it just didn't get done. My aunt and her friend are staying with me when I go home so we can go to the Plaza in Kansas City and see the lights - but boy are they in for a mess! I didn't get all the cleaning done before we had to leave. I cleaned the bathroom, but I was out of vinegar so had to use old cleaner I had before I started having these breathing problems. I just got so winded trying to clean that I couldn't finish it all. I haven't dusted my bedroom etc. I vacummed, but not well.
Today I was thinking to myself that if we went around the table and asked what we were thankful for this year, what I would say. (We didn't do that.) It's strange. I've said this before, but sometimes I feel like I inhabit this other universe. If I said what I am most thankful for, I'd have to answer this.
I'm thankful that I'm in the drug trial. I'm thankful that so many people have stepped forward to give all of us with HPS a chance. I'm thankful, so thankful, for all of my HPS friends. When we call ourselves the HPS family, for me, it's so true! I've only been away a day and I miss you all already! How terrible this fight would be were it not for all of the wonderful people I've met in my HPS family.
I spent thanksgiving on my cousin's farm. She's very, very pregnant and due in two weeks. After stuffing ourselves with turkey some of my aunts and I went on a walk around the farm. I thought to myself, "Oh, if only I could show this to my HPS friends in places like New York!" The vastness of Kansas once you get outside of Kansas City is awesome. You can stand at the edge of a wheat field and feel as though it stretches on and on and on to the very edges of the earth without interruption.
Well, more later. I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Trust me, I write better when I can see what I'm typing!
