Back in Black!
Well, I am still alive and kicking (well so to speak)....
My stomach is all better now, my electrolytes and blood levels are all normal again and there is over 35lbs less of me after just a few weeks (whos complaining???).
I am back home and living a life of luxury again and just taking it easy and gaining my strength back. I am still on soft foods but not complaining too loudly. I am back tatting again although I am tiring easily because of some complications arising from my illness but a 2 hour afternoon nap takes care of most of that.
Things are finally coming around our way again. John is plugging away with his braille lessons as I am also taking intro to braille through the family support education program and am doing well with my lessons. A few letters are a bit confusing but I will get it eventually.
During our move, my good camera was accidentally packed so I've no pictures to share just yet; but in the next few days I plan on going out to storage to search for some much needed items including my camera! I will be up and posting pictures soon! Thank you to all who have sent us well wishes, your comments and emails were very inspiring and comforting. You are truly cherished friends.

Feeling better......
Last week was about the worst week ever! First after a stupid attempt to stop a man from breaking into vehicles in a parking garage and almost getting attacked; I got food poisoning from undercooked meat at a restaurant and have been horribly ill. Worse yet our cell phone company double billed us and I cant take care of business until I am better. Its really frustrating because I am always the one to take care of all the business in the house and with John being visually impaired, he doesnt have the confidence to take care of things on his own. He does wonderful when I am around but when I am not, everything goes to hell in a handbasket.
On the lighter side, John has been accepted to Hadley School for the Blind and is taking Braille by correspondence courses.
I have been doing very little tatting as I am tired most of the time, but I borrowed this laptop so that I could log on and at least let everyone know I am on the mend. I should be up and rolling again once my electrolytes are back to normal and my system is running normally again.

Alive and well!!!
Hello all! Well these old bones are still kickin here, although its been a while!
We are finally all moved out of our old place and have taken a new turn in our life journey.
We finally were all packed and moved out on the 31st after much stress and worry but decided to stay at an extended stay upscale hotel for a bit until we made a decision about where we were going to go next. After mulling over our finances and enjoying the wonderful amenities here at the hotel.....we decided to stay HERE! Yes we now are living in a hotel! It actually is quite posh and luxurious! We only pay $1500 per month here for a 1 bedroom suite complete with cable tv, internet and phone. We also have weekly maid service, fresh towels/linens daily, 24 hr access to an indoor pool/whirlpool/fitness room, free breakfast (waffles, cereal, oatmeal, danish, toast, bagels, muffins, yogurt, fresh fruit, eggs, milk, juice etc....), 24 hr free coffee, 24 hr access to convenience shop and a FULL kitchen in our room complete with stovetop and dishwasher!
Not a bad lot for the homeless eh?
We decided that it was more cost efficient to stay here than pay out $1700 mortgage, $250+ electric(not including heat), $150+ cable/tv/phone and all the rest. Everyone is very nice here and its very quiet since they cater more to business professionals than anyone else. Sure its a bit more noisy on the weekends but it dont bother us. We are totally happy here!
I spend alot of time at the pool and sitting down in the community lounge chatting with all the friendly staff. I havent got much tatting in lately, but will be digging it out soon!
