I have gone and done it so I hope you're all proud of me!  Made the phone calls, I mean.  Have decided to have the gall bladder out on May 11th.  Am not excited!  Hope it cures some of my low grade problems.  Love, mom/granny/Valerie

Thanks for the calls, cards, dinner, flowers, emails, and phone messages!  Thank you for being patient children and turning out wonderful, in spite of everything! ❤️❤️

I’m feeling better today.  Thursday we got home about 6, I think, and I went to bed.  Friday I felt pretty good and was pleased, thinking okay, this is no problem. Saturday was not too good.  But today I feel like maybe I’ll be better again!  One thing--haven’t had a headache since the surgery! Before, had them non stop.  Don’t know if that’s related but will keep track.  Must admit, thought I'd feel better faster!  Dad has been taking good care of me, bless his heart…
OK, so I make bold to conclude, with gratitude, that her chronic headaches—at least those within the past couple of decades— have been direct consequences of the gestation of those cherry-sized rocks in that gall-bladder that she never needed, anyway!

I’ve always been grateful that I hardly ever have headaches, except for one rather awful spell of them while we lived in Waverley. Those went away, danks Gott, and have never returned. And I slouch in awe of her courage, staying sweet and diligent through such a chronicity. Yes, my back hurts all the time, but that’s different.
