Thanks everyone and thanks to Rich and Scarlett for coming through on posting.
I had a crazy, challenging week. I had to go down to south Texas to try to care for my aunt who is showing signs of Alzheimers. She has no children; no living relatives (that aren't really old) except me. She helped raise me, so I need to and want to try to help her. But it's a challenge because of the distance and I have an autistic daughter to leave (my husband's capable; it's just easier with two). I was able to help my aunt some, but probably need to go down again to figure out legal matters (power of attorney etc). I got back in at 3:00am (flight delayed) Saturday morning. Then Saturday night, a friend gave me a concert ticket to see Paul McCartney! (first big concert post op)! The sound was great, and loud, but not too loud so I didn't notice the SSD too much. Great show. But I got home at 1:30am and then had to get up Sunday morning and play two church services. But Sunday evening I was too wiped out. I usually try to read a bit about those having surgery before I do the updates. I've hardly been on the forum in a week (limited internet access where I was) so I don't know too much of what's going on. I need to catch up on my reading!
Normally I do the updates between midnight and 1:00am. I think Rich and Scarlett (or maybe just Rich) gets up at 1:00am because he's usually the first to comment. So, it was great to see the updates this morning!
I too wish Ken and Lois and Jo all the best! My prayers are with you all.
I'm glad to be back and look forward to seeing how everyone is on here.
Keri, the procrastinator!
