one way to get publicity for a book

dictated to Shane from Mom (Phyllis): my roommate, my nightmares, and others are bragging that they know a writer and passing on good words about me. every little lift helps. can't go shopping but it may be even better to have daughters and daughters-in-law go shopping for me. Several people have been to see me: Shane, Cindy, Abri, David, Susan, Aleta, Lawrence, Logan, and of course Ken. All, including the pastor and the Maple Gardens group, have been so welcome and helped in many ways. There may be others who came to visit, but remember I've been loopy sometimes. The pain is MUCH reduced, but nonetheless I don't think I'll ever have the other knee done. good motivation for keeping up my exercises and good eating habits. Shane says I'm not confused anymore (which is a switch because I've always been a little confused!). They'll be sending me home without a wheelchair but with a walker, and that may even be in just 3-4 days. The staff here is great. They do a really good job.
