(our cat Sade lays in the spot by where John use to sit everyday)
I have received a few e-mails asking me if everything was all right because I have not posted for a few days. Thank you for caring enough about me to do that. It means the world to me.
I have been going to see John at the new Rehabilitation center, and I am just so tired when I get home I have not had enough energy to do anything else . I have been trying to get him settled in. His first few days there were not the best. But they are getting better.
He received his new wheelchair today. He loves it! He was so excited about it. His new chair is motorized and it raises him to eye level. He is not going to be able to get out of bed until after Christmas though because of his last surgery.
He has better cable where he is staying at now, and is thrilled over that.
I am posting John's new address for anyone who would like to send a card. It is: CCS Carbondale
306 West Mill Street
c/o John Zimmerman
Room 6
Carbondale, Illinois

See you soon my friend. Enjoy the day.

Thanks for the new address.
Love you kitty. I am a kitty addict. I have always had a kitty. I had two but Sara passed away in APril. She was 14 years old. Now i just have one Schvartzi is his name. What is your kittys name.
Take care and get some rest Nita.

I hope you are soon together again. My cat (Merlin, aged 14) wanders through the house, calling for Leonard, and it breaks my heart. I am hoping you have peaceful holidays.

patti: his name is sade. when we first got him, "at the rummage sale" ha! we didn't know he was a boy. so we called him sade after john's pet horse that he had as a child. then i gave him the middle name of "eileen" after one of my sisters. so, it is "sade eileen" when he is a bad kitty. which is very rare.
he is the best cat i have ever seen in my life.
i pray god gives you peace on this holiday my dear friend and please know how much you are loved. i am sorry to here that one of your kitties passed away. that is hard. we lost 2 of our dogs this Summer and it was hard. love you patti. xoxo nita
Hi Rita,
Merry Christmas to you and your family! I wish you all the very best for 2008, and I wish John a speedy recovery!
xo Kate
