Hello to all of you-- friends and followers of Scrap for Joy.
My name is Mimi and I will be writing this post on behalf of our friend Joyce today. 

As some of you may know, Joyce has been battling some health issues over the past year.  These past few weeks have been especially difficult for her as she deals with this ongoing gastric problem.  It seems that the doctors have decided that she needs to have a little "vacation" at the local hospital so they can help her get the situation under control.  I spoke with her this morning and she is in good spirits.  She asked that I write this post to explain  why she has not been able to respond to messages or catch up on all of her favorite blogs.  She is anxious to return home to be able to communicate with you all once again.  

I know that she would appreciate all of your prayers at this time. 
Thank you all so much
Sending lots of love from Joyce

    Well I just hope you're enjoying your "vacation"! It's no fun not feeling well so let's just let the Drs help you to get on the mend. You are one great person so I'm sure you won't be down for long. Our prayers are with you. Mimi

    Joyce,
    I am so sorry! I remember going to the hospital as a child and loving it. All those nice nurses and food you could order, TV, and non-ending ice cubes. Well, I am not sure it is so much fun but I hope you are getting a rest and some very good care.
    Sending all my well wishes and a great big hug,
    Suz

    Hello Joyce~ I came here looking for you because I couldn't find you recently on flickr and I wanted to say hello. I'm so sorry to hear that you're ill. My health has been a major issue over the past year or so also and I really sympathize!
    Take care of yourself. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
    Your old flickr buddy,
    Dee
