Dear all,
Itʼs me, still dragging and sleeping a lot, but Iʼm encouraged that my left leg has mostly stopped swelling. Also Iʼm still encouraged dr. yuen couldnʼt see any infection Tuesday.
Deno is well now and johnʼs back is slowly getting better.
My fingernails grew without breaking off for 4 months! Neither one of my hands can cut the nails on the other one. Johnʼs sister mary offered to take me to cousin rosaland lander knutson's great manicurist, johnda. When we arrived wed., rozzie had been in to take care of the cost for me! Such a thoughtful gift! Johnda did my pedicure but due to arm and back pain, I had to get mary to take me home before johnda could do my nails L the pain comes without warning or understanding like that. Dean brought me back on Thursday and I was having such a good day that I enjoyed watching johndaʼs amazing art work as she created my French tip manicure! J thank you, rozzie.
When home, dean stayed so john could get a slow careful walk to strengthen his back.
Saturday kay luplow came and helped me sort and wash laundry and john was able to go to the store and take a short walk. His walks have kept him going.
We have already missed thanking so many sweet friends bringing food, flowers or inspirational figures or books. I have realized it my be months before I can write notes, so I am trying to call and also thank folks in this blog. I want to add our love and gratitude to pat lile for countless and wonderfully thoughtful and tasty things she brought to the hospital and the house. Every time we return flo lullen,s dishes, she brings them back full with more goodies. Such great cooks, like mary louise Wilson, judy snowden, ben and georgann freisier, pat and ed matthews. Diane holt has sat with me so john could run errands and brought yummy food. Our thanks go on and on beyond our memories, Iʼm afraid. Just know we appreciate everyone and everything.
Monday they will test my blood for the vancomycin level. Then tues dr. yuen will change my dressing on the elbow skin graft. Please pray for the infection to still be gone.
Thank you for your prayers and for your love and all you do.
Love,
Linda and john
