one more clinic on tuesday and then we’re home free!
hi everyone,
I am feeling sooooo much better! Friday was my last bad day and its been up hill ever since. I had Don here for the whole weekend and now I getting to go home! We will finish up with EKG’s, research drugs, and blood work tomorrow. I am so happy and I’m even feeling strong. I’m going to try not to over doit. I’m going to have an early Christmas with my boys but I am inviting anybody who wants to spend Christmas day in Gainesville to come on! We should be admitted again on Dec 15, but only for 6 days so will be out of the hospital before Christmas day. Don and I are going to decorate the camper some. We are learning that gainesville has some great shopping and restaurants. If my little family was here with me it would be perfect. I think I’d be alot more happy getting my treatments. O’well this week at home is going to be Grande!
I have made some wonderful friends here. Patients and their families who are going through this too. It’s awesome to hear there stories. Most everyone is so upbeat!! which is really surprising to me, since they are going through the same things I am. We visit together while waiting at clinic.
I am also learning to crochet. It seems to be pretty soothing and not too demanding. Even coloring can feel frustrating at times. My insides get so shaky and my attention span seems to be really short. not sure why. I feel really bored at times, but yet unable to focus on anything. weird hey. I think so too. anyway, I’m doing great right now. see you all soon
love ya

Karen, I am so happy you are getting to go home. It’s nice to be around your family and friends. You are special and loved by many. Stay strong and know I am always thinking and praying for you. Love you lots, Michele
Karen: I love that you are feeling better! And thrilled that you are getting to come home for an early Christmas.
You are such an inspiration!
Crochet! What is the project? A blanket? Scarf?
Love you Karen! Take care – don’t over do it! Keep the Faith!

Hey Karen!
This is Sally and Kathryn Rosser from Tallahassee, FL! My brother George told me about this website. We can’t believe what all you’ve gone through. I know that you have been an inspiration to so many people through this website. Just wanted to let you know that Copper is doing great! Kathryn still rides all the time, and she has started riding him Hunter Under Saddle. Although he is doing great Western, I can tell he loves to extend his gaits for a change of pace. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that we are all thinking about you and praying for you. Now that we know about this website we will be following your daily adventures. Have a great Christmas this weekend with your family!
Talk to you soon,
Kathryn and Sally

Hi Karen!
I just wanted to pop in and say hi! It’s so exciting that you get to come home this week – I wonder if you are already en route. 😉 I really, really hope we get to see each other this time. If you think you’ll be at your barn on Sunday afternoon, maybe we can visit during Joshua’s lesson at Misty Meadows. His lesson is at 3. Also, if you need/want someone to go Christmas shopping with when you’re here, let me know! As you may remember, I’m not one for marathon shopping sessions (my attention span is too short! LOL!) but we can hit a few stores if you feel up to it, and maybe grab a bite to eat (my treat!).
Logan has a concert tonight at school (he’s playing trumpet) so we’ll be there tonight for awhile but if you want to call after 7:30 or so, I should be able to answer.
**hugs**
Tina
P.S. How cool to see an update on Copper here! Kathryn and Sally, please give Copper a pat from me (though I’m sure he doesn’t remember me at all . . . LOL!).
Hi Karen, You are such an inspiration in faith, strength and love. I hope we will get to meet sometime soon. Dad talks very highly of you, he said we would get along great because you are a country girl just like me and you love horses. I have been trying to keep up with how you are doing, I am so glad you get to go home and spend some time with your kids for an early Christmas. You are in my daily prayers and thoughts and so are Uncle Kenny & Aunt Muff. I know you will cherish every second with your family but I hope this is a very Blessed Christmas for you and your family. Your new cousin, Cindy
Hey Karen, what great news to hear that you are getting to come home to Panama City for a little while. I know you are soooo happy about that and I am happy for you. God is great!!
