(I do so love bright flowers in dark baskets.) Their arrival was perfectly timed for my complete appreciation as it was a week post surgery and I am doing very well. My task now is to get myself back in shape, which means working on the mobility and flexibility of my upper body-a process that is new for me. I feel so great having no other treatment of any kind (well except for medication) ahead of me. This knowledge brings such a profound sense of freedom. I love it. I will be seeing you all sometime after Thanksgiving, depending upon how my “rehab” goes. I wish you all well as you end up this quarter and start a new one. Thanks so much for all of your prayers, support and thoughts. Gratefully, Ann Trapasso.
