I actually went out of the house today, Karen came over and took me to get more Christmas cards and a few groceries. Then she will come back in the morning and take us to see Dr. Donahoe. The nurse said something about another x-ray, I guess to check on the congestion again. Also, he needs another blood test. I have written a few more cards, but I'm not done yet. I took time out to do some washing that I've been putting off all week. Next year I think I will write a group letter, like so many we get, instead of writing separately to each person or family. This takes too long to do. Russ is still doing well. At least it seems so to me; we'll of course find out in the morning. I think Donahoe is a good doctor.
