:santasmiley: merry christmas everyone :bell: :fireplace: :wreath:

we will soon start a new year, I'm wishing you will all have special recovery of some sort that will ease you in this new year.

I had a money problem that forced me to be off the internet for a time, i believe all is in hand. oh to be able to work math like i used to. it was all my doing, numbers no longer work well with me, and i didn't keep a good watch on my bank account, and a business continued to charge me after they were not supposed to, i had to change atm debit card to exclude them from my account, then i splurged some on christmas and just got back up. pre stroke i could keep up with it in my head well no longer now i can't even keep up with it on paper. looks like i will go to using just cash, hopefully that will work. this month i was sick and after tests the only thing that was found was extremely low potassium, so i am off the diuretic part off bp med and eating bananas all the time, in time i believe i will be able to use my feet as hands , then i started itching a breaking out, i go in tomorrow to see if it is shingles like my neighbor thinks, well it has kept my hands busy. i actually got up in front of the whole church this Sunday and gave my testimony on overcomers, we had a lady say she was going to come. i have never been a public speaker and it has been a terror for me to get up and talk before a group, even though i didn't lose my language i did have problems with speaking , i also lose my train of thought rather easily, i made notes then forgot to follow them, god must of taken over because everyone came up and told me how well i did, and that i had touched them. my daughter and grandson was over last night, and we had a nice evening, i also found out i will be a Great grandma in June. :stretcher: , I'm, not even 60 yet, my granddaughter has moved out and is going to marry the boy, so all prayers are requested for them and the baby. :lightning: so many new faces here, when i came in after getting stuck in the door until donna got me unstuck, i hardly recognized anyone. looking forward to meeting all the people i missed greeting as they arrived. :chat:
