Hi Karen,
I'd surely like to wave the magic wand over your head and make you better in an instant. I'm sorry that you have one more thing to "get fixed", but so glad Rick is going to be there with you to lend a hand and give some hugs.
I've been trying to visit Lincoln, R. I. online and get a taste of where you three live, but can't seem to find the right one. I'll keep searching. I'll bet it's a really pretty place with great weather (at least most of the year) and lots of wonderful history. I'm picturing you resting and looking out a great picture window soaking up the view. Please take extra special care of yourself and know that I'm daily sending hugs and prayers your way. ma
