Now a Good Update on My Joe
I am so sorry I have been MIA , but now things are much better, I almost lost my Hubby twice last week Thank God that the Nurses and Doctors are all so very wonderful. Joe had a large lemon shaped Aneurysm behind his left leg above the knee They tried to stent it but that didn't work, and after his BP dropped like a Rock and with the very Talented Nurses they saved him. then 3 days later they did surgery, The Aneurysm was so big that they killed the Artery and harvested a vein,

7 cuts and 58 staples later. Well all I can say is thank God they found it when they did or he would have died on his flight up to New Jersey, to a Retired cops luncheon.


Christmas is just 16 days away and this will be a very very     Special on Thank God for watching over My Love.

God Bless
