Well, Wednesday Dec. 19 is upon us and all is going OK. I am in a lot of pain in my back this morning but you get used to it after a while. I went to see my plastic surgeon yesterday and he was pleased with what he saw and took my stitches out. He said I was good to go back to work but would not issue me a slip for it because it needs to come from my main doctor, which is Dr. Dickson. Last time I saw Dr. Dickson, he told me that my return to work would come from this plastic surgeon. Left says right and right says left... I went by Dr. Dickson's office and he is out until Friday but they gave me a number to one of his workers. I talked to her yesterday and she said she would take care of this but it has not arrived, yet. I talked to my boss yesterday and told him what was going on. He said it would all be OK and would work out with no problem. Our company has a rule that you can't go from sick leave straight to vacation so I will have to go to work on Monday to start everything in the right direction. Being away for a week or two is OK, but when it turns into 6 or 7 months, it is rougher. I am so glad that I still have a job to go back to and they want me back, too. Working in a chair will be hard for a while with my broken tailbone, but it will work out just fine with time.
I have rehab this morning and if, as usual, they work me right, I will be sore over it. I guess that is why I like this place. I have a wedding to walk at in less than two weeks!!! The highlight of all is to see one of your children get married and to get to participate in it, too. Megan wants me to walk her down the isle AND dance with her. I can't dance good on any day, but I will give it my best!!!
Love to all of you that read this and may God be with you. He saved my life and I will ALWAYS remember this. If you need his help, all you need to do is talk to Him and ask Him for help.
Have a lot of people coming in town for the wedding. Many of these people I have not seen in a while and am really looking forward to it. My brother's daughter (my niece) is coming from up north and two nieces on Betty's side are coming from Florida. I am excited about all of this.
Great news! I just heard from my boss and they finally got my return to work! Looks like I get to work on Monday! This is exciting to me!!!
Love you all,

Joy, Joy! Mark, you really know how to bring on the tears of joy!
I am so sorry that I won't be there to see you walk Meagan down the isle. I've been looking forward to it for some time, but all of our kids will be in town for our delayed Christmas celebration and we will have a house full.
I, like many many others, still look forward to reading your Blog every day and just want you to know that I am so thankful for your recovery. Thanks too for keeping us posted! Even though I don't reply very often, I still look for your posts daily.
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with more blessings than you could ever imagine. God is so good!
Love, Debra Jo (Cibolo cousin)
Mark is certainly our "miracle cousin" and Betty is his guardian angel here on earth.
Back to work already. What wonderful and exciting news!! - and everything that Debra Jo said goes for me too!! She said it so much better than I could.
Tiffaney, congratulations on your graduation and thanks for the beautiful picture.
Megan and Matt I'll be thinking of you on the twenty-ninth -- Best wishes to you both.
Happy, happy holidays to each and every one.
Love, Janet (Mulberry Canyon cousin)
I am glad you are able to go back to work, finally. I know you have been waiting for this. Don't wear yourself out at work, until after the wedding. We continue to pray for you daily. Ya'll have a wonderful Christmas! Love and prayers, The Keatons
