I wish I knew who to thank for all this. There has to be 250 dollars or more of stuff in the basket.

It sure beat last night, when I was on the verge of going to the hospital. My head was hot and my torso, but my arms and legs were freezing. I took two Tylenols and a hot bath, which warmed all of me up and my headache and fever went away. My head got hot again and I finally broke down and took a hydrocodone before bed. I woke at two feeling normal but sweaty, so my fever broke a bit before then. I was hungry since I skipped dinner, so I ate some Cheerios and went back to bed.

Merry Christmas to all of you. I hope I am here next year to say the same.

Have a good Holiday Ed. Thinking and praying of and for you.
