Bertie had to go to Orlando today to see her sister in the Sanitarium there & try to find out what really is wrong w/ her "innards." The sister has all her 55 yrs. leaned (too much) on "Big Sis." - except as to religion & economics Bertie will spend the night w/ its Collettes (probably) & interview the doctor tomorrow. You are right that my accident (& now her sister's long & puzzling illness) was hard on Bertie but she is a wonder in the way she quietly meets every situation & responds to every call upon her. -like a well timed motor, no com plaining, no self pity. She is a wonderful companion - so even-tempered & equal to every situation. I'm like you as to Xmas - I've boycotted it 1,000% for 50 yrs but I do ask - the cards friends send me & I'm glad to hear from them. We still hope to go to D.C. for 2 days & then NY for 2 months by the latter part of Feb - and to swing around the circle (W Palm Beach, Avon Park, St Petersburg) before we leave. If only "the leg" will please hurry & get well. Our love to you, Fred Blossom
