Hello, friends! Trisha here! Listen, don't panic, I'm still with us! I will admit I'm not so up on answering my phone and emails these days.... The truth is that these mega-steroids I'm on are creating kind of a challenge... They make my legs weak, so it's been a little harder tearing around town on outings and such. It does bum me out, but I've still got a pretty darn positive attitude, I'd say!

My dear brother John and his wife Nancy are giving me a really wonderful cheer-up present! Tomorrow we leave for 8 days in Hawaii! Oh, boy! Fun in the sun! Well, with my big cover-up hat on... In other news, my platelet count is right where they want it, and I threw off a cold last week in just a few days, which can sometimes be a challenge for people who have been having the treatments I've been having... The picture is from right before the surgery, way back in late July.

Keep those cards and letters and coming!
Love, Trisha
p.s. if this sounds more like my sister Mary's writing style, ok, I admit, she wrote it! But I approved it!
