Have You Ever Been Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired?

And I'm sure your answer is yes!  Well, yesterday start up pretty good and that dumb prednisone kicked in and Harriet's knees swollen up to the size of basketballs (slight exaggeration).  It was enough to cause concern so I called the doctor and got the straight scoop.  More of the same, stay off your feet, keep your legs elevated and hang in there.  By evening the swelling had gone down considerably.

More news on the home front.  We get a long-awaited letter from Daniel (he writes once a week).  It just seems like it's a long time between letters when you're waiting for news.  He gave us a long story about how things were going in Arizona and then how through a series of errors they did not transfer his account so that he could go to "canteen", to buy things to eat.  But they finally got around to putting him on the list to come to California.  To show you how slow things are as far as communication is concerned, he wrote the letter on the 24th, it's postmark three days later the 27th and we received it on the 30th.

According to his letter he should be transferring on the 27th or 28th of October and arrive in California on the same day.  But, I just checked the California inmate locator website and it still has him listed in Arizona.  Daniel told me that that website runs a few days behind.  So keep I will keep checking on it.  I did write him a couple of letters this past week and send it to the Arizona prison, which means that he will not get them.  Usually they just trash it.  So, I will print off a copy of the letters and mail them to Chuckwalla.  From what Daniel said that he has to be in isolation for about two weeks before he can have any visitors.  I will probably drive over there sometime later on in November.  Harriet is not up to making the trip.  I know that friends  Tracy and Arlene  have volunteered to go and visit him while he was in Arizona, because they lived relatively close, but you have to submit paperwork and sometimes it takes three months or even longer for approval.  The same applies for California prisons.  The paperwork must be submitted, they do a background check and then they approve it.

So that's the latest information.  Thank you again for your prayers for Harriet, Daniel and for myself.  God bless you and I hope that you have a fantastic day!

Frank and Harriet
