Thanksgiving....well..everyone seemed to enjoy it. I am grateful that my husband and daughter were there to pick up the slack. I guess I am just beating my self up.....
Susan!!
No guilt allowed...besides FedEx still has your bat.

I'm sorry your plans didn't go as well as you wanted/needed them to go...
but
You took the absolutely wonderful step of making new traditions--next year just leave off the knee problems, ok?

Re your knee...I hate that you are still in pain. Please do everything you are supposed to do, and nothing you are not supposed to do, ok?

Bebop is right about caregivers...we have a well developed sense of responsibility and doing for others. It's foreign to us to have to put ourselves first...
and if our plans don't work out the way we wanted, we almost always feel we are to blame and not the circumstances.
I don't think you make special plans for this happen, right?

In Peace
