Thanks so much for passing this message on, Karen. You are so very kind to be there for folk when they need someone to contact, to get to all of us.
If you have time, please pass on good wishes to Julia. I was only thinking about her the other day. Hope she'll soon be really well.

hI Karen,
I know it has been awhile since anyone has heard from me but I have been
seriously laid up. The last several months have been nothing short of a
nightmare.
I spent well over half of March in the hospital. I had knee replacement
surgery in the beginning of the month and things went very wrong. As a
result I got a serious staph infection (MARSA) and then had to have my knee
and leg opened up again a couple weeks later. I had to have another
surgery a week after that because my med port failed... so in surgery 3 x
in one month! I lost over 50 pounds the first month after the surgery.
Now however as the result of some very good in home physical therapy I
am up and walking again! Slowly but nonetheless walking!!!!
April also was a challenge for my daughters as my ex-husband (their
father) died unexpectedly. I was of little use to them since I was barely
able to sit up at the time.
I have been doing a bit of sewing again. It has helped a great
deal. We just moved the sewing machine onto the bed with me for a few
hours a day. Now that I am sitting up much better I can sit for about an
hour at the sewing machine in a chair.
Currently i am still on IV antibiotics at home everyday. Have now been
on them since March 6th. Such a long time and they will soon be coming to
an end since the infection is finally clearing up!!
The physical therapist is confident that I will be able to walk
independently in no time with my quad cane. I am so excited!!!! And then
the next step is to learn to drive again. It has been sooooooooo long
since I have been able to drive. (more than 2 years now). I still tire out
easily but am making great progress. For this I am so greatful.
Sitting at the computer is still a challenge and I manage a few minutes
a day now just to check email. As it is I am falling asleep as I am typing
now :).
Please pass my message on to everyone in RCTQ. I miss everyone so much and
have not forgotten anyone. As soon as I get my strength up again you will
be seeing me there again.
well I need to go. Getting to tired and need to lay down (again)
sending hugs to everyone
