it's been eight long weeks, but i'm out of the hospital and out of the nursing home. [my typing skills have gone WAY down in the meantime]. i have a visiting nurse, a sleep apnea machine, and oxygen, and am getting ready for the bypass surgery. a sad but necessary event. i've lost more than 20 pounds, and am doing well otherwise.

many many thanks and hugs for ALL your love, support, and prayers. everything helped. and i'm grateful to be around. just another bit of a haul and i can look forward to having my life back again.

more later. i'm still not exactly at my house yet, nor do i have my computer [i'm at peachie's house right now. she's been a great help during all this.]

much love to you all....

It is so nice to hear from you, WELCOME BACK!!!

A house is not a home until it is filled with family, and this hen house has felt your absence!

Welcome Home!

I think that you need to practice your puter skills, so stop by often.
