Cleone informed us on PP Trudy's health condition . She will be having surgery in late March. Please keep her in your prayers.
Here is Trudy's note to all:
Hi everyone...just to let folks know..I now have a surgery date of March 30....expecting a hospital and, if needed, rehab stay afterwards. If any drastic symptom changes before then, my orders are to get to VGH for assessment for emergency surgery..but that seems unlikely to occur.
Meanwhile using the time to get as organized as possible..like taxes,
etc. Feeling no real differences..walking a bit like a drunken sailor,
tire easily but otherwise fairly normal. Limiting in person social
contacts to avoid getting sick before..Covid was a great dry run!
Have had so many wonderful messages of care and concern...the gifts of
friendship are many...as the saying goes...an embarrassment of riches!
Thanks all..and again, Iām happy to have people share this info for me.š
Trudy
Happy Birthday to PP Isabella Beane
