Happy Birthday to Robin, my beautiful niece.
It's Me, Lenette, and I'm finally out of bed (and pain) long enough) to post a message. Haven't read any of your comments yet - it's hard to sit upright and I'm afraid y'all will make me laugh and then my incision hurts. I'm sure someone will print them out for me soon and bring them down and that will make it easier.
I have heard stories about your prayers, comments, love, support and laughter (with me, always remember the laughter) and am OVERWHELMED at how blessed and loved I feel. God is with me on this journey each and every step of the way, and in each one of you, and I'm am so grateful.
Thank you for checking on my boys. I hear they'd love some meals so if anyone feels like cooking, give them a call (Cody 748-8375, Tom 744-0095 or David 744-0211) and I'm sure they'll give you directions to Dad's house.
Thank you for each magical way you've found to show all of us your talents and gifts. Sorry I have not welcomed visitors and phone calls. It has TRULY taken every ounce of strength I have to GET WELL and I am always bordering on exhaustion.
Love to each of you. Please continue to pray. I will see you all soon.

p.s. I got to wash my hair today for the first time -- Hallelejah!!!! Once again, it's the little things that make all the difference!

Hi Lenette:
How wonderful to receive a message from you! And.....I'm glad you FINALLY washed your hair! I hear your "do" was the talk of the IU Med Center!!
I had the wonderful opportunity yesterday to spend about an hour holding the most beautiful (other than my own daughter), tiny baby girl! Yes, little Emma Rinker is special. She has lots of dark hair & does look like her mama.
When you get home, I'll bet Kynda (proud mama that she is) will bring her over for you to hold, too.
Take care, my friend.

You washed your hair! Dang. I was trying to organize a solidarity group in support of your 12 day old "bed hair". You know get folks to pledge not to wash theirs until you did. Or run a contest on "who can go the longest without washing their hair". But now you ruined it. The only thing left is a shower on your own, and a clean bill of health.
LaChiam,

Lenette!
So glad to see you were able to write a little. I know it must hurt intensely to sit up.
And as for washing hair, nothing can make a girl feel better can it? Well....almost nothing. ha ha
Hi Lenette,
We have got to get you on the Mainteneance Team, you are tougher than any body I have ever known, even Jerall. Great to hear from you.

I'm sure your boys could have given you tips on how to make money from someone when you finally washed your hair.
Cut it
Grow it
Wash it
They're all money makers!
It is great to see the message from you!

Okay, if you are not ready to laugh skip this comment. Len, as you know Bob loves jokes. Here are a few he just sent me.
One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his
sweatshirt. Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room,
he shouted to me, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?"
"It depends," I replied. "What does it say on your shirt?"
He yelled back, "University of Illinois ."
And they say blondes are dumb...
WAIT... ONE MORE....
Q: Why do little boys whine?
A: They are practicing to be men.
Hope you feel better soon. Love you.
Katherine (contributions from Bob)
