| Greetings,
Hope you have all your ducks
in a row for the change is season. I have been busy
preparing. This includes planning a new exercise routing
(which does not require walking outside), working on my
wardrobe and having my car serviced.
Since the last newsletter I
have had surgery to remove my shunt which slipped from
my head into my abdomen (ouch). Everything went well. In
fact, they decided not to keep me over night in the
hospital. This is good. It is a relief to have the
surgery completed. Apparently, this is something which
rarely happens. The shunt was supposed to stay where it
was embedded in 1997. I guess my body just decided to
get rid of it, but was not successful on its
own.
This month we have several
interesting articles. Have a look!
Enjoy
the November Newsletter!
