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.
