ED3,
That looks like the most comfortable spot in the world, to me.
Think I'll climb right in there!

Humlan, we missed you and I'm so glad you're back!

Welcome home, dear Humlan. When you get settled in, please drop by and let us know all about your trip. We're all anxious to hear.

Gosh, it's nice having you back!

Welcome back, Humlan!

Sounds like humlan may be all for communal living after that trip. Looking forward to hearing more.

Hello dear friends...

Groan..Moan..Aj Aj Aj (the swedish equivalent)..I have bad pain in my knee..in the back of my knee to be exact..so it´s probably a tendont (spelling) or something rather than the bones?? I don´t know. I´ve stuck it out for almost 2 weeks..but now I am going to the doctor on Weds. I almost get nautious when it really hurts. I KNOW that some of you know exactly what I mean..but I just need to moan a bit..ok?

Otherwise all is well..MY SIL IS CANCER FREE!!!!!! My gosh..isn´t that just wonderful! I still can´t really believe it..that´s why I told you about my knee first. What an Ego on me, right??? Anyway..that is GREAT!!!

I am feeling like a hibernating bear right now..not really feeling too communicative. I am sure it´s the weather..time of the year..and my knee.. and my age..and WHATEVER!

Please know that I had a wonderful time in the US..and a tough time..all the ingredients that a larger family offers..like an Italian Opera or something. And I wouldn´t trade it in for anything else. But next time..I will NOT go at Christmas time..and that´s ok with my daughter,too.

Sending love to you all..thanks being around!!!

Moan away, Humlan, that's what we're here for! I had a Baker's Cyst on the back of my knee as a teen. Once removed, all pain disappeared and never recurred. You might check with the doctor to see if that's it. Here's a link that tells about it:

Good to hear about your SIL! That's great news. And hibernating sounds good right now; we had 10" of snow last night so we did a bit of shoveling today. Now I'm showered and warm and ready to vegetate.

Take care!
Kathy

DD, how much snow have you gotten this year? Holy Moly. When will it end?

humlan, I hope the doctor can get to the bottom of this right away. Living in pain is no fun.

I am so tickled to hear this about your SIL. This is grand news. I'm sure they're all celebrating. What a horrendous several months they had as a family. BAttling cancer is one thing, but then ahving to travel for the funeral of a brother while weak, is quite another. I hope 2009 is gentler to all of you.

Humlan, I'm so glad to hear your SIL is cancer-free. I know how worried you were about him.
