Lois' Sabatical For A Time

[Lois E. Winters]

Unfortunately, I must take a fairly long time off as I am not bouncing back as I used to. Yesterday, my doctor told me to quit the computer and phone for 4 to 6 weeks and concentrate on getting well. I can take a brief phone call or text, but that's it.

This, of course upsets me, for no interaction with you wonderful folks, no chatting with my niece, or friends here. No playing my favorite games. I have a long list of how to live and one for my physical and occupational therapists.

I need to follow up with post pneumonia care, more cardiac care, and whatever my back needs.

I'll be thinking of you all and missing you like mad, for I love you all. xxx

I'm sad to hear this, Lois. We will certainly miss you and worry about you while you're gone, so check back in as soon as you can. I'm really sorry that you are still suffering with pneumonia and your other health issues. Sending you a hug and hoping that your sabbatical will be a short one. I'll be thinking of you, too, sweet friend.

 

[Yvonne Smith]

Sending you love and hugs, @Lois E. Winters , as well as prayers for a fast and easy recovery from the pneumonia, and we will miss you while you are away. Thank you for letting us know that you would be gone !
We always worry when someone suddenly disappears and we do not know why.

Thanks for letting us know, Lois. In the words of an old hymn, "Trust and obey, for there's no other way!" I will be praying for you.

 

[Mary Stetler]

@Lois E. Winters we will all definitely miss you and thank you for letting us know. Sadly your Doctors are giving you good advice. Sitting at the computer for long periods (and it is so easy to do) is very hard on one's back and eyes. Hope your doctor can find some gentle exercises to help. Maybe find some music and audio books, as well, to enjoy.
When you come back it will give us a good excuse for a party!

 

[Hedi Mitchell]

@Lois E. Winters - you just take care of yourself-but know we all are hoping and praying you come back soon. Huggies to you Lois!

Glad to see you post again and hope the "comfort zones" work out. I am not sure what hospice comforts zones are, but plan to find out more about them.

 

[Beth Gallagher]

Nice to see you, @Lois E. Winters . Like Faye, I don't know what hospice comfort zones are, but I hope it's something that will help you. Keep us updated if you can. Sending you a big cyber hug.

We're going to miss you, Lois, but I get it.
