Dear Anna Grace:
Hi! This is Johnny, Ronee' 's brother! My sister is in bed, sleeping her life away, so while she is sleeping, I decided to write to you!
I hope this finds you well and happy; I am okay, but I had a seizure the other day. I had to change medicines for it because the ones I were on quit working, and I needed something that was stronger. BOTHER! I hate taking new meds; I have to go through those fun side effects, and I have to put up with feeling lousy until I get used to my new meds! ICK! I am on some now that make me all loopy-headed, and I also have ringing in my ears; and it sounds like there's a phone in my ears that won't stop ringing. It's very annoying!! >:( Or I think my hearing aids are blinking out again, and I get so mad I want to yank 'em out and THROW 'em! They drive me CRAZY at times, but I need 'em in order to hear! GRRRRRRRR!!!
Yeah, Ronee' the Monster (as I call her!) is sick. She had a flare of her arthritis, and last night, she had to go to the hospital to get some relief from her pain. It was so bad she woke us up with her crying, and she couldn't hardly move without screaming out. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep last night. And it also didn't help that Gemini and her got into a giant fight because Ronee' borrowed some of Gemini's perfume, and that went all over her. Gemini got mad at Ronee' and said she hated her (she doesn't, really), but it really hurt Ronee' 's feelings, and ever since, it seems like she's been in tears or near tears! She didn't go to school yesterday or today; but today she is starting to feel a LITTLE better! Good. I HATE it when she is sick! Fact is, I HATE it when I am sick, or if anyone ELSE is sick in my family!
I am glad that you are doing well in school. I used to hate school, but now it is fun, and I get good grades. I have learning disabilities; but I got help, and now I am doing MUCH better! (What grade are you in? I am in sixth. I go to MorningSide Academy, which is a school for kids with serious health problems or disabilities; and a lot of the kids--including myself--have more than one disability.)
I am sorry you had friends die over there in Africa. That must have been tough. I had friends die myself, but not because they were in Africa. I lost friends to muscular dystrophy, which is what I have and why I am in a wheelchair and wear braces on my legs. I CAN still walk, but only for a short bit, and then it's on crutches. I wasn't supposed to live beyond the age of five, but I guess God has plans for me 'cause I am still here, at the age of 11 1/2! (I'll be 12 on the day after Christmas. When is YOUR birthday, Anna?)
Well, Ronee' is stirring, and she may get mad if she sees me typing away on her computer, so I'd better scoot! I will write more later, but the next time I do, I'll write on MY OWN computer! Bye!
(((HUGS))) and love, your pal in Tennessee, Johnny Sandusky, Ronee' 's brother (aged 11 1/2). :)
P.S.: Okay, the kid in the pic doesn't look EXACTLY like me, but he has a power chair like I do, and he DOES have light hair! LOL
A wicked Cajun Fairy named Robes Pierre entered the impenetrable Magical doll land of Sha Bebe. Queen Faustina, the ruler of the doll land, thought she had destroyed him, but he's back! Will the doll land survive his evil ways?
