Top 7 Moments, Week of November 23-27

Hello Ellen. i have written a few times but your format doesnt allow for a Canadian to write(only from the USA0 I had bought some makeup a while ago and have broken out into a rash which wont go away totally and the lid does not close well. Thought you would want to know that. I am a widow that is tryiung to get back into life again and one of the things I thought i would do is get some new makup so i was upset by this.

I had to drop you a line to say thank you. I lost my job on May 4th due to what they called a "work force reduction" We were notified on a telephone call. Three days later I woke up and could not walk! I had been having some pain in butt (sciatic) and was laughing it off to my friends ("Oh, my sciatica is acting up") to be said in an old jewish woman's voice. Little did I know what that would turn into. Over the summer I also reached out to my outlaw (former father in law) to give him the final figures for my only childs college tuition. He had agreed at birth that he would pay for her school, full boat any school she wanted to go to. If I had known that he was going to change the rules, I would have been saving all of this time. Now, there I was , no job, no money for my daughter's college and I could not walk. Why am I thanking you? I was only able to lay on the floor in agony while a huge insurance snafu was worked out between my former employer and COBRA. This took about 45 days to resolve! While unable to walk, stand, sit or essentially move, I would lay on the floor and watch your show. Ellen, you have this unique ability to make others forget about their pain, suffering, debt, etc. and just LAUGH! You cheered me up every day. I only wish I was able to dance with you every morning. The wrap up? I had surgery on 6/29. I can now walk and feel like a million bucks. Grampa still has tuition amnesia and I am still out of work but, I CAN WALK! Life is good but it is definitely better with you in it!

Thanks you,

Danelle Pierce
