Friends, it’s been awhile since my last post. I have been taking care of my wife who had emergency surgery on April 18th to deal with a serious infection that was life-threatening. She had 3 surgeries to be sure all the infection and affected tissue was removed.

After her hospital stay she went to a physical and occupational rehabilitation hospital to heal and get stronger. I can say she is doing much better. Thank goodness for family, friends, work and insurance.

I have been her caretaker throughout all of this. This is what you do for someone you love. Taking care of wounds is a new skill I have. You know it may come in handy again sometime in the future.

This is an update that will mean the resumption of more regular posts. I have missed blogging, but other things have had my attention. My hope is that things will continue to get better, and we return to some sort of normalcy. I feel a Wordless Wednesday coming on tomorrow.

This is Geno and we went to Red Bank High School together and he is a hair stylist. He was kind enough to get my hair and beard manageable. Something I’ve not been able to do since Laura has been in the hospital.

I appreciate him and his generosity. If you are needing a cut or a trim be sure to check him out on River Street on the North Shore.

Thank you Geno, I look much better.
