Hi Tim, Actually, there has been a lot happening lately! After we returned from Boston wedding on the 21st, Sharon had to be admitted to Wilson hospital with apparent diverticulitis. As it turns out, she actually has BOTH diverticulitis and an intestinal blockage. She will have surgery tomorrow, at which time they are going to remove approximately a foot of her large intestine. She will be home, hopefully, sometime early next week. Think good thoughts!
