Hello and Season's Greetings to All,
Louise remains in the rehab/health care facility she entered on March 27th. I had hoped that she would be home long before this but she has experienced some setbacks and those, plus the effects of Sandy the super storm have caused us to postpone her return home which we had envisioned as late November.
Sandy of course was the worst storm here in decades with a storm surge of about 17 1/2 feet above high tide levels, and we expect that recovery will take many months and cost and enormous amount. Louise,fortunately, was safe in the Cold Spring Hills facility and their back up generators provided heat and light throughout the storm and it's aftermath, when regular power supplies failed. Only tv (cable) was knocked out and that was back within a week.
We do not have a new target date for return home yet, but expect that we will see where we are in late January and set one at that time.
We hope all of you have a Joyous Holiday Season and a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful 2013. Louise misses you all and sends her Love. If you like you may post on LJ or send mail to her as follows:
