Recap 2023




Two aniversaries have gone by since I was left alone. I have settled into life in Lancaster PA for the most part. Even though I am free to do as I wish, I can't shake the feeling that I should call home if I'm running late, but I'm afraid that isn't true anymore. I plan to break that habit by exploring, hiking and reviving my love of photography.

I had my right hip replaced in April 2023; I went to rehab for 3 months then continued in the MAG (Medically Adaptive Gym) with a personal trainer.

I spent a few days at Ocean City NJ, enjoying the sandy beach and swimming in the ocean.






Despite all this activity, I was hospitalized with DVT (deep vein thrombosis) and pulmonary embolism, meaning blood clots traveled to my lungs. My doctors were all puzzled why this happened to me, so I'm on blood thinners for life.


My Christmas guests included brother Ken and daughter Carla and her fiance Arthur and we had a Christmas Eve fire. The warmth of family, good food and libations kept us cozy in the chill air.




Games!
