You know how sometimes, when you bruise your knee, and then for some reason keep knocking that knee into things more than you normally would?  Well, sometimes that can happen to a whole family.

The Kestermont Clan (of which my sister is a contractual member) has been absolutely besieged by health troubles in the last 4 years.  I'd list them all, but it would sound like one of my Aunt Bette's Christmas Letters.  Of course, how else am I going to elicit enough sympathy to get you off your ass?

There have been multiple surgeries to untangle intestines and fallopian tubes.  As often happens with cars and computers, there were a few bits left over that didn't seem to fit when it was time to close the lid.

There were mysterious infections that lead to near amputations. 

There were hemorrhoids so large they could only have resulted from the mixture of toxic chemicals and radioactive materials (there is a joke about uranium and coccyx waste in here somewhere, but I can't seem to extract it.)

There have been knees ripped from their sockets like a good greasy leg of fried chicken - if fried chicken wore cute knitted hats with ears and went skiing at Lake Tahoe.

There have been gall stones, and infections, and back pains, and paper cuts too.

But worst of all, last year Papa Kestermont suffered a head injury that put him in a coma and kept him in a hospital for over two months.  He's out now, and walking, and joking, and being ornery, but he still needs a lot of care.  Momma Kestermont has been managing with a little help.

But last month, she had a brain aneurysm, and now she too needs some help.  Now, they all need help.

This crew just keeps smiling and laughing and loving through all of these ups and downs.  So please, drop by the yard sale and take away some of their burden.
Thank you.
