Hi everyone, I am so sorry I haven’t communicated. I know a lot of people were texting my children wondering if I was on the other side I was just so sick. I could barely get through the day and I’ve been in the hospital this whole time so they’re always in and out and giving me meds and giving me shots and doing this and that so here’s the background……. an infection in my leg, which causes to swell up to three times. Its size wasn’t small in the first place and then leak out where there was leaky coming out of my body immediately wanted me to go to the hospital and then they discovered that it was a serious infection called cdiff and often hits older people killing about 2/3 of them so everybody was really worried. Meanwhile I got a urinary tract infection. I’m a flare of gout that was unreal. I was in hospital for quite some time but then they got I don’t think this is true, but they got tired of me and sent me to Alden for rehab and Alden, I was there for about a week and then sent to rehab and then sent to emergency ward where I was diagnosed with a lung disease and some other stuff. My kids say I was so out of it I was reading invisible beans pretty scary. I was in the hospital for another three weeks, I mean that’s really sick. They sent you home hours after a hip replacement but then I went back to rehab because my legs were working and then I got. infection, it actually may have been time to throw in the towel, but I kept thinking of lunch with my friends teaching a class smiling at all of you and you know what I got the courage to survive so right now I’m in Alden‘s intensive care, rehab and it looks like I might be here for 10 more weeks actually I’m getting better exclamation who knew? I was just laughing so hard this morning because the physical therapist was showing me how to bathe myself and I raised up my arm. You know to wash my armpits and did you know that if you lose enough weight those flabby parts under your arm will go away??? now how much weight is that well so far it’s around 75 pounds! I want you all to continue sending healing and love because that is definitely what saved me. I will keep you posted on other amazing insights as I trudge my way to getting better love you all.
